Your Preferred Third Party Logistics Provider
I am on the Project Management team. My home base is in Sales, where I work with the LTL Department, but my main focus is on SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), operational efficiencies, flow chart development, and any other project that comes up that needs creative flair. I enjoy being on the TNL Management Team and look forward to our twice-weekly management meetings where our group works out problems, heads off potential issues, and comes up with new ways to encourage and reward employees. I’m also a total fan of FitCorr, our onsite workout facility. Outside of work, you would be hard pressed not to find me in a dance fitness class. “When in doubt, dance it out.”
On January 5, 2012, at an Employee Appreciation Event, the owners of TransCorr National Logistics treated our employees to food and beverage at Monkey Bar, located within The B.O.B, in downtown Grand Rapids for all of their solid work in 2011. Spirits were high as we ate a variety of appetizers from hummus to pot stickers.
To preserve the positive attitude of Team TNL, “Restore the Corr” 2x2 meetings were created. Two people from the …

Loading ...I am a dork. If Dorkdom was a real place and not just a state of mind, I would be its mayor on Foursquare. I fully realized my new status while watching The Big Bang Theory with my husband. Right in the middle of the show, I paused the DVR (he would probably be mad if I didn't do this to him all the time) to tell him a work story that was so funny I could barely relay it to him.
"Oh MY gosh, so today (giggle, giggle, snort), Brandon came over …

There are certain things in life that cause me massive amounts of anxiety; staying in hotel rooms, grocery shopping, driving and riding in cars, and math. Today we will talk about math – how to determine the “skid space” that LTL carriers use in the rating process.
Calculating Skid Space is Math and I Hate Math
I hate math. I don't know what percentage of you just nodded emphatically, stood up on your desk chair, raised your arms up over …

I hate making the list, driving to the store and trying to find a parking spot. I hate the long walk to the store, usually in the rain, because of my lack of parking space karma. I hate getting the cart from the cart corral and the long drawn out process of obsessively wiping it down because I’m convinced I …

When approached to help farmers in need, it was an easy decision for TransCorr’s CFO Steve Harris and CEO Greg Eddy. Texas was in a drought and the resources to feed livestock and horses had literally dried up. Being from the trucking side of the supply chain, the men understood very well how lack of food for the animals could severely affect the livelihood of the farmers and completely disrupt the entire supply chain, which would affect a lot …

I can tell you that in 40 years, hands down, the best shopping experience I ever had was at Zumiez last Christmas. Zumiez is a skate and snowboard clothing store. I had never been there before, but my kids armed me with a very thorough, very expensive Christmas list because they love me and only want the best for themselves. Let me preface this by saying, I hate shopping. I go out of necessity and when I feel the need to have a girl’s day, but …
