Randy, President of Quality Carriers, embarked on a “Jersey Shores” tour, visiting critical New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland terminals. The tour aimed to connect with employees, drivers, and mechanics while evaluating operations.
The first stop was in Rahway, New Jersey, a terminal recently acquired from longtime affiliate Tom Schofield. Randy met with terminal manager Justin, shop staff Mike, mechanics Albert, Johnny, and Willian, and drivers like Melvin. Despite limited space, the team efficiently handled operations and showed great teamwork.
The second stop was Brielle, New Jersey, near the Jersey Shore. Randy met with Alissa, Chris Heinz, and the rest of the staff, including Carmen, Connor, Gianna, Nina, and Erin. This terminal supports three others: Baltimore, Bridgeport, and Rahway. The visit highlighted the team’s dedication to smooth operations across multiple locations.
The next destination was Bridgeport, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia. This terminal, also acquired from Schofield, plays a key role in the chemical and refinery industries. Randy met with long-term employees like Mike Sabatini, who’s been with the company for 45 years, and Louanne, with 25 years of service. The company is expanding this location by adding more service bays and safety features, like fall protection.
Randy then visited Exton, Pennsylvania, where the team oversees environmental compliance and safety in the chemical trucking industry. This office, led by Jim and supported by team members like Kathleen, Danielle, and Cynthia, ensures Quality Carriers’ compliance with industry standards, keeping them a leader in chemical safe handling.
In Williamsport, Maryland, Randy toured a terminal with a unique history. Once an old trucking business, the property features a house from the 1850s. The team, led by Nick, efficiently operates the site, supporting a key customer. The shop, managed by Eric, uses advanced heating and power systems. Randy also met drivers Emmanuel and Eric, who have valuable experience and are dedicated to the company.
The final stop on the tour was Baltimore, Maryland, where the team has been active for over 15 years. Randy met with Steve, who oversees East Coast operations, and Mike, a regional fleet manager. He also connected with younger mechanics like Carlos and Ivana, who manage independent contractors. The newly constructed shop offers modern facilities and opportunities for future growth.
The tour gave Randy valuable insights into each terminal’s operations, personnel, and challenges. Quality Carriers continues to expand, ensuring their terminals remain efficient and their teams well-supported.
