FLEET 8 www.FlatbedTruckingJobs.com May 2016 D ayton Freight Lines, a Dayton, Ohio- based less-than-truckload carrier, says its mission is to be "the recognized leader in providing high-quality regional LTL transportation services. We will ac- complish our mission through trained and empowered employees who are dedicated to continuous improvements that focus on our customers and internal processes. Our ultimate measure of success will come from customer loyalty and partnerships." Founded in 1981, Dayton Freight be- lieves that by emphasizing company-owned facilities and a culture that is professional, positive and people-centered, it will con- tinue its growth that is fueled by the dedica- tion of its employees and the loyalty of its customers and business partners. Today, the private company has 48 ser- vice centers in the Midwest region, employs more than 3,600 and has a fl eet of more than 1,200 tractors and more than 3,000 trailers. Dayton Freight offers shippers one- or two-day service to thousands of points throughout a 13-state area: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Min- nesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsyl- vania, Tennessee and Wisconsin. The company can serve all of the United States, Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam through its partnership in the Stra- tegic Alliance Network, which also includes Southeastern Freight Lines, Midwest Motor Express, A. Duie Pyle, Central Arizona Freight, Lynden Transport, Honolulu Freight Service, Oak Harbor Freight Lines and Manitoulin Transport. The guiding principle behind Dayton Freight's success is summed up in its corporate vision statement – "Delivering Value Today … Driving The Standard For Tomorrow" – which translates into doing the best it can every day to bring real added value to customers through on-time pick- ups and deliveries, careful freight handling, ongoing fl eet maintenance and accurate documentation of all operations. In other words, it strives to be the best as what every successful fl eet does. FOCUS by Dean Smallwood Making the difference: Dayton Freight is growing, but it hasn't forgotten its top priorities
