The Team Behind the Wheel: Every Role That Makes Us Successful
Post Date - Mar 7, 2025
When people think of a trucking company, they often picture the drivers behind the wheel. While professional drivers are the backbone of the industry, a successful trucking company relies on an entire team working behind the scenes. We recognize that all associates – from mechanics and dock workers to IT specialists and corporate leaders – play a crucial role in keeping our operations running smoothly.
We’re more than just a place for professional truck drivers. We offer a variety of career paths that allow individuals to thrive in a stable, rewarding environment. Whether you’re looking for hands-on work in our shops or behind the wheel, an administrative role supporting daily operations, or a leadership position guiding the future of transportation, there’s a place for you here.
Dock associates keep freight moving efficiently, ensuring that shipments are properly handled and loaded for transport. For those looking to transition into driving, our Dock-to-Driver program provides the training and support needed to earn a CDL and advance into a driving career.
Keeping our fleet running requires a team of skilled diesel mechanics and maintenance technicians who ensure that our trucks and equipment remain in top condition. We invest in state-of-the-art tools and training, giving our mechanics everything they need to succeed and build their careers.
Our transportation sales and customer service teams work directly with customers to provide tailored shipping solutions, build lasting relationships, and ensure satisfaction. Their work keeps our business growing and strengthens our relationships in the industry.
Corporate & Administrative Careers
Our corporate team is dedicated to strategic planning, operational excellence, and customer success. In a dynamic, collaborative environment, associates bring diverse talents, skills, and ideas that make a real impact. Our administrative professionals are the behind-the-scenes heroes, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Whether your expertise lies in IT, HR, operations management, sales, marketing, or accounting, there’s a place for you here. If you're an organizer, problem-solver, or detail-oriented professional, your contributions will help keep our teams on track and moving forward.
We are constantly looking for leaders who challenge the status quo and push for continuous improvement. Our leadership team doesn’t just manage operations – they redefine them, making processes smarter, faster, and more efficient.
