Clark Freightways Announced as Endorsed Logistics Employer
CITT has announced that Clark Freightways has been announced as its newest Endorsed Logistics Employer
CITT has announced that BC-based Clark Freightways is its newest Endorsed Logistics Employer. The recognition is given to organizations which demonstrate excellence in their dedication to their transportation and logistics people. Endorsed Employers understand that the abilities, development and satisfaction of their employees are crucial to business success.
“CITT is happy to recognize Clark Freightways as an Endorsed Logistics Employer” says Pina Melchionna, President & CEO of CITT. “Over the decades, countless family-owned carriers come and go, or are bought up. But Clark has seen huge success and a family-owned and run fleet for over 60 years. That type of longevity speaks for itself” she elaborates. “It also doesn’t happen without commitment to the people that make up your organization. Clark Freightways knows that people are what drives business success and customer satisfaction. CITT is looking forward to working more closely with the people at Clark in the years to come and helping make their excellent employees even sharper.”
“Success as a regional LTL freight carrier means effectively managing high capital and labour costs against notoriously thin profit margins, where 5% means you’re doing well!” says Marcus Clark, President & CEO of Clark Freightways. “With no room for chance in our costing and pricing, partnering with CITT will assist in developing our people to have the best skills and sharpest analytical tools available to help keep us going for another 60 years.”
ABOUT Clark Freightways
Clark Freightways is one of the largest and best-in-class LTL carriers in BC.
It may be a bold statement to make, but it’s who we are in a nutshell, and with over 60 years of service and growth there’s little we haven’t learned and few problems we haven’t solved.
We grew up here in BC, and today our company consists of people, many who have worked for us for decades, plus a privately-owned infrastructure and fleet. We offer both cold-chain and general freight carrier services through a strategic network of 25 distribution facilities that directly serves over 600 communities across British Columbia. As well, we continue to invest in advanced technology aimed at ensuring unparalleled effective and efficient transport.
Most importantly of all, we have a skillful team of drivers, dispatchers, service people and other professionals – the best in the business, in our opinion.
After all those decades, we’re also still family-owned. That means we answer to you, not a group of shareholders, which allows us to remain nimble and responsive to your needs.
Thanks to these elements, we’ve developed long-standing relationships with some of the most respected companies in BC, many of which have been with us for over 25 years.
