"Challenge yourself every day to do better and be better. Remember, growth starts with a decision to move beyond your present circumstances." - Robert Tew

At Roadrunner, we believe that Robert Tew is correct in that the best way to grow professionally is to challenge yourself every day to do better and be better. Every day, we must make the decision that we won't let our current circumstances hold us back from achieving success. For a company to grow, everybody needs to look at each day as a new challenge that can be conquered together.

Back on June 3rd, our very own VP of Driver Capacity Dave Renfrew was awarded Transport Topic’s Recruiting Professional of the Year Award 2021!

“We’ve come a long way, and still have more work to do,” says Dave. “We reorganized to make our network more driver-friendly and we’ve restructured our leadership team, changed our culture, and broken down silos within the organization. I love the collaboration, teamwork, and culture.”

Dave received the Recruiting Professional of the Year award at the Transport Topics Sightlines event on June 3, 2022. “I know the two other panelists well and respect them very much,” Dave said of Betsy Waldrop, Director of Recruiting and Training at Freymiller and Lesley Vincent, Field Recruiting Supervisor at Melton Truck Lines. With 28 years in the industry, Dave commented, “This is what I know – it’s what’s in my blood. Recruiting allows me to provide people with business opportunities. That’s what I love.”

The winner of the Recruiting Professional of the Year Award is determined by anonymous nominations reviewed by previous winners. “We discuss the challenges and opportunities they face,” said Joe Howard, Transport Topics Executive Editor. “Driver recruiting has never been more competitive.”

Dave is responsible for recruiting, retention, orientation, lease purchase, equipment and driver safety qualifications for Roadrunner. He is also a certified director of safety.

"Coming together is beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success. " - Henry Ford

As Henry Ford said, working together is success. Every member of the Roadrunner team―every driver, dock worker, support staff, and more―has an important and vital role that is key to the success of the company. We all rely on each other because for one of us to be successful, we need every member of our team to be successful. We're more than just individuals doing a job, we are a family striving to help one another create their success story.

Effie Jones says he was going down the wrong path with his life before he discovered trucking. Today, 22 years later, he is a successful business owner with a small fleet of trucks.

“My life changed for the better when I became a truck driver,” he explains. “Trucking became my comfort zone because no one bothered me out here.”

Jones, who is based out of Memphis, has been an owner-operator for 15 years. He started working with Roadrunner Freight two years ago. This is when he decided it was the right time to begin building his business and add additional trucks. He bought the first truck about seven months in and currently owns five trucks and has three employees.

“I’ve wanted to own my own company since I started this whole trucking thing. My motivation was when people tell me I can’t do it, I make it happen,” adds Jones. “What I love about Roadrunner is that they’ll teach you how to be a businessperson and give you responsibilities, but they also give you the freedom to be your own boss. Most of all, our Vice President of Operations demands you get your respect as a business owner.”

Roadrunner has a unique business model that gives its owner-operators autonomy and provides them with everything needed to build successful careers and businesses. It is the ultimate long-term partnership designed to give linehaul independent contractors more flexibility, stability, and support.

Growing up, many of us at Roadrunner looked up to truck drivers as the modern-day cowboys and cowgirls.

They might not be riding horses or wearing cowboy hats, but they’re still our heroes living a life of freedom on a long, dangerous road. Trucking isn’t the career choice for people looking for a quick buck; it can be rigorous and full of unknown risks. Every day there is a new challenge waiting for you.

That’s why we at Roadrunner are here to help. By investing in new technology, Roadrunner is making the lives of truck drivers easier and making their trips safer. Our team is equipped to work with you through all of the good and bad so you can experience truck driving to its fullest.
