About David Mcbride

I've have helped some of today's largest companies through recruiting and operation synergy. I build fleets of scale that are widely profitable beyond market expectations through experience and insight. I am a true forecaster of tomorrow's needs and direction. As a transportation executive in recruiting, sales and marketing of truckload, LTL, flatbed, I know how to bring the entire package together while others micromanage silo'd sectors of your company. Most companies conceded to expanding their operation through merger and acquisitions, I do it through practical and expedient growth harvesting new markets. If you are not able to expand your fleet with new growth units by at least 10% per year, you have the wrong people in place. Many companies have traditionally used lease drivers or owner operators for a utilitarian flux in power units and company drivers as their financial base. I will show you how to expand your lease fleet and make it a profit generating center at a rate 15 OR points lower than their company counter part. Lease purchase options allow a company to self produce their own self-sufficient fleet of independent operators while minimizing their financial and legal liability. Too many people in this industry are pigeon-holed or short sighted to understand or specialize in one or two sectors of this industry where true financial gains are realized when an expert drives your profits well ahead as several companies have taken this advantage. With a 25 year working knowledge of "theory vs. reality" in fleet building from the company that practically invented lease purchase fleets I can say with confidence and a track record of exponential growth that the formula works. With my background and expertise executing profit with lease operators and owner operators along side your company fleet will well exceed those found within your current fleet. If you want to know how to execute a 10 point increase in your OR, then find the right people.

  • Lazer Spot

    Lazer Spot Mar 2020 - May 2022
    Alpharetta, Georgia, Us
    Lazer Spot is the worlds largest trailer spotting and shuttling provider to most of America's fortune 500 manufacturing companies. During the last 26 months grew LSI from 2700 to 4800 drivers during the most difficult times in American history with COVID and the Cares Act producing unforeseen hurdles in the hiring market. Developed the entire recruiting and marketing processes that changed them from a 160 per month employer to over 600 per month. I've always had a solid history of producing record hires in both company hires and the independent contractor arena. We are listed in the Top 50 largest logistics providers in the country supplying OTR and Dedicated carriers with the much needed support that keeps America running on time. We currently operate more than 5000 drivers at over 570 locations nationwide and Canada. With 25 years of transportation experience specializing in recruiting and marketing for large carriers we are turning on the faucet to drive organic growth within with a goal of doubling our fleet size within the next 3 years. This is a company with intense focus and drive to do more and the ability and talent to make it happen.
  • U.S. Xpress, Inc.
    Vice President, Recruiting And Contractor Services
    U.S. Xpress, Inc. Mar 2017 - Dec 2019
    Chattanooga, Tn, Us
    All developmental aspects of expanding our independent contractor and company footprint. We offer every fundamental avenue for an independent contractor and company driver to be successful in any endeavor he or she wishes to follow from true independent, owner agent, small fleet ownership or company employee driver and small fleet ventures.My current role is to maintain 1800+ independent contractors, O/Os and small fleets as well as my newest role to redevelop our internal practices in the recruitment of both OOs and Company drivers. Under my new management practices we have e already seen an increase of experienced hires of 41% per week and expect at our current trend to be over a 55% increase before the end of Q4 making USX one of the most efficient recruiting companies in the country during what many consider to be one of the most driver deficient eras in trucking history. Most recruiting and advertising companies are saying deficiency while I only see opportunity and results in our current shift for growth. To date, we are producing record hires in a "driver shortage" which makes me want to ask...... where is the shortage?!
  • Western Express
    Vice President - Lease Purchase / Capacity Development
    Western Express Mar 2014 - Feb 2017
    Nashville, Us
    Capacity Development means adding power and expanding fleet size. Too often that title means sustaining turnover and retention from losses. My only definition for a VP of Capacity Development means expansion and growth. I built this program from scratch. Western now has one of the best profitability based Lease Purchase Programs in the United States which spans from my model, an idea of opportunity and 150 original empty power units needing to be seated. Today's program is pushing an additional 450 growth units to the bottom line and expanding daily. My heritage in lease/ owner operator knowledge spanning over 70 years with a background that practically invented lease purchase, and using 20 years of experience to implement a lease program that is second to none in cost effectiveness and utility of equipment.
  • Colonial Freight Systems, Inc
    Director Of Recruiting And Marketing (Vp)
    Colonial Freight Systems, Inc Apr 1997 - Mar 2014
    Educated from the University of Tennessee in 2000 with honors, and I joined Colonial's management team in 1997. I grew up in this business and have earned everything I have from my knowledge, skills and ability, as well as my self funded education. I learned early in life that nothing is given, everything is earned. I have had extensive experience in sales, marketing, forecasting, budgeting, claims, safety and insurance, but my best talents have been in lease purchase fleet building with independent contractors. I've lived both sides of the business from day-to-day operations to boardroom discussions as to why sensitive decisions were made and either assisted or solely executed the outcome. I've brought in and managed new accounts from small mid-sized companies to fortune 500 corporations. Created new traffic lanes and traffic triangles to optimize operating costs, and dramatically reduce deadhead and driver loss. When all of my skills and knowledge is combined, it shows a strong development process from the initial marketing of a company, to hiring your talent, retaining your talent, to managing your power efficiently, creating new markets, building new accounts and team building like minded in-house professionals, and making all of these happen in unison. All companies need these skills, but most companies struggle to find that 1 out of a 100 that actually produce them. The current trend in our industry has been to develop better profit strategies with the use of lease purchase plans. Most companies had been content with lack luster returns with a power play lease purchase program until recent. Now we are trending toward high return strategies to maximize profits and maintain power play flexibility. Turning your fleet into a lean operations center with with 20 and 30% returns is the difference the right developer makes in your program.
