Employee of the Quarter

Our selection as employee of the first quarter was not an easy choice to make as we had four well deserving candidates and after careful consideration and much debate our employee of the quarter for Q1-2009 is... Donnie Barnes.

Donnie has consistently gone above and beyond his normal duties. Donnie has taken total charge of our brokerage department and researched tools that will effectively reach more carriers and expand our carrier base. The result of Donnie's efforts has been the implementation of FreightView, an online application that allows us to operate more efficiently by distributing RFQ's to our top vendors among others. Everyday Donnie continues to develop relationships with new and current carriers. Donnie took the initiative to bring an important clients freight in-house and has helped maintain inventory and schedule deliveries since late December 2008.  Donnie is quick to volunteer and jump in and help his department do whatever it takes to get the job done. Whether it's folding blankets, loading and unloading trucks, coming in early and working late, coming in on weekends to learn new software or volunteering to take extra days on-call while Tamika is traveling Donnie has consistently exhibited a great attitude.

Tamika said it best when she said, "I respect Donnie's drive to raise our truckload department to the next level and I'm very pleased to have Donnie as a member of our team".

Please join us in a well deserved congratulations to Donnie on your achievements in Q1 2009.
