It is with a heavy heart that I share this news. Effective immediately, Stride Haulage VTC will be closing its doors after three and a half years of service. This decision has not come lightly, it has become clear that we can no longer sustain our journey.

Fostering an engaging and growing community demands considerable effort and resources from everyone involved. As leaders, we must show the way, inspiring, motivating and be of support to the team. We are responsible for providing the guidance and tools needed for our structure to function. A structure from which our community grows. This structure is in need of constant care and maintenance for the team to thrive and succeed.

Regrettably, Shulgin, Arun, and I find ourselves in a position where we can no longer sustain and maintain this structure. Our incredible managers and staff have poured their talents and hard work into this project, and it feels unfair that we, as leadership, cannot allow the VTC to benefit from their contributions as fully as it deserves.

Over the past three and a half years, Im so proud of what the Stride family has achieved within our community. We have made lasting memories for countless dedicated TruckersMP players in the community and inspired new VTCs to embark on their own journeys. The stories of friendships formed and joyful moments shared are plenty in our community, and I will cherish these memories forever. My experience here has been amazing, filled with laughter and friendship like no other online community.

“Striving to deliver” has become our secondary motto in Stride Haulage. We have tirelessly pursued to create the best experiences for our drivers and staff alike. From the moment you first hear about Stride Haulage to the day you complete your trial period and join us as a full member, our aim has always been to make this journey seamless and fun. I'm so grateful for all of the team members who have made this process possible over the years. Over the past three years, we have refined our procedures and systems, and I take great pride in the operations we have developed. It’s efficient, fair, and consistent, granting our staff teams the freedom to excel independently.
