"I hauled freight for Holcomb Trucking from 2010 to 2017, and in that time we maintained a perfect record for Mountaire Farms—over 700 loads with 998 stops delivered with zero late arrivals and zero claims. That level of performance was no accident. It was the direct result of Larry Holcomb’s leadership, expertise, and genuine care for his drivers.

While I was on the road, Larry would call just to make sure I was safe and the truck was running properly. If I had a mechanical issue, I could describe the noise and he could immediately tell me what part I needed and whether there was a temporary fix to get me to a shop. More than once, he found someone on the road who could get me taken care of quickly. His knowledge of equipment is unmatched.

Larry also made sure every driver stayed compliant and protected. He kept us up to date on our logs, ensured our trucks were inspected and in proper working condition, and knew DOT regulations inside and out. He understood every violation an officer could find, and he trained us to avoid all of them. He even spotted the reason a shipment was overweight just by looking at it.

His ability to calculate time, distance, and fuel mileage is incredible. He can look at the model of your truck and its fuel economy and tell you instantly whether a load will be profitable. He truly wants drivers to succeed, and he helps them become more profitable by planning smart, staying compliant, and keeping equipment in top shape.

Larry also has a remarkable ability to detect fraud—he can spot issues just by reviewing fuel receipts. He stays on top of every change in trucking law and has the regulations practically memorized.

Above all, Larry genuinely cares about his drivers. He made sure we always had loads, didn’t get stranded, and never had to deadhead home unnecessarily. He believes in maintaining trucks properly because it saves money and keeps more of it in the driver’s pocket. Working with Holcomb Trucking and Larry Holcomb was one of the most professional and supportive experiences I’ve had in trucking. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the industry."
