Started my career in logistics/ warehousing in 1991. What was only going to be a job until “I figure out what I want to do” has turned into a logistics career. I have a degree in Management and Organizational Development.  I am a Certified Supply Chain Professional (APICS/ASCM). I serve on many Boards of Directors. At Crosslin Trucking, we are smaller by design. Before launching Crosslin Trucking, I reached out to many of my CDL friends and other drivers to get feedback on what they love and dislike about the trucking industry. Consistently I was told that home time with family could improve and wishing they were not just a truck number. That’s what has helped guide Crosslin Trucking to be “Smaller by Design”. We want each and every one of our team members to feel like they are part of our family. We recognize it’s not easy being on the road all the time and that’s why we work hard to have you home more often. We want you in nice equipment, “your home away from home” and are committed to providing you that. Beyond nice equipment, we are committed to a safe work environment and helping you live a more fulfilling life. In the end, I believe when we take care of our employees and customers,  the company will be taken care of.

With more than 25 years of experience in the flatbed and open-deck transportation market, I have built a career grounded in safety, efficiency, and industry leadership. My background includes over two decades of hands-on driving experience as well as more than ten years serving as an Operations Manager specializing in oversize and over-dimensional freight. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive expertise in route planning, permit coordination, specialized load securement, and managing high-stakes, complex transportation projects. In addition to my operational experience, I have founded, owned, and managed three trucking companies and logistics brokerages. These ventures have strengthened my skills in business development, compliance management, customer relations, and strategic growth within the transportation sector. My combined experience across driving, operations, and executive management allows me to bring a comprehensive, solution-focused approach to every challenge in the trucking and logistics industry.

I have been in the trucking industry for over 25 years. Over the years, I have held many roles, from Data Entry, Customer Service, Facility Management, Dispatch, and Operations Manager. Most of my tenure has been with one company for over 17 years, managing a terminal for a large trucking company in middle TN, Dispatching, and planning freight to ensure the correct management of customer needs. Over the years, I have established several relationships with customers while also assisting drivers with day-to-day operations and DOT Compliance.

I have had the honor of being a professional over-the-road truck driver for the past 23 years. During my time behind the wheel, I drove over 2.9 Millon safe miles. In the last 9 years of my driving career, I have been awarded Driver of the Year for the Tennessee Trucking Assoc., DMV driver of the year, and Driver of the year for the Truckload Carrier’s Assoc for the United States. These are just some of the awards I have been privileged to receive throughout my driving career. I am a past Road team Captain for the Tennessee Trucking Assoc. and the American Trucking Assoc. I have experienced the Opportunity to speak before Congress and the Senate three years in a row concerning issues pertaining to professional truck drivers as well as the trucking industry in general.

I have been working in the role of Business Development within the flatbed trucking industry since 2010.  I have worked successfully acquiring and servicing national as well as regional accounts centered around the steel, building materials, and gas and oil industry. I have an intimate insight into the trucking industry with years of experience over the road. I still maintain my Class A Drivers License.  ​ ​
