Growing up with a truck-driver father doing oversized heavy haul runs, Mary has been around the industry her entire life. These days, her brother and her son can whip a big rig around on a dime having learned from her dad. “It’s my heart, my soul, it’s like it’s bred into our family’s blood. Technology is necessary, but there’s nothing that helps technology be the best it can be like hands-on knowledge of the trucking world.”

And Mary’s hands-on knowledge is built from years of being “out there helping to park loads, riding forklifts clean to the top to throw tarps over them, and driving state to state making deliveries and pick-ups.” There’s dedication and commitment in every little thing Mary does, no matter the scale.

Mary’s decades of experience have shown here that everything succeeds because of the details. With more companies offering quick quotes based on little information, Mary knows the way to limit surprises for customers is by helping them deliver the right details the first time, so their shipment is perfectly prepared for every step of the journey.

And those little details about Pride Logistics are the things she loves the most: “We make a phenomenal team. We all learn from each other and love the part of the day where we can step back after hearing from a customer with a smile in their voice, look at each other and be each other’s biggest fans.”
