Having worked extensively
in the world of transportation for 17 years, I continue
to expand the mission of Robins Consulting to encompass
the needs of transportation firms from across the country
and around the world.
I began my career in transportation
in 1991 when I joined Stevens Transport, a small refrigerated
irregular route contract carrier. Beginning as a management
trainee at Stevens’ corporate headquarters in Dallas,
Texas, I learned the industry by becoming involved in every
aspect of trucking including safety, maintenance, logistics,
operations, sales and management. I quickly rose through
the ranks and was recognized for the results I produced
in recruiting and staffing for a company that was growing
exponentially each year it operated.
In 1999, I was promoted
to Vice President of Human Resources and was asked by Stevens’
Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Steve Aaron, to
recruit and staff every position at headquarters as well
as continue to aggressively expand the Brokerage Division
with new offices throughout North America.
I remain very proud to have
been part of the senior management team that moved the company’s
bottom line to more than $350 million in revenue. During
this time, Stevens Transport tripled in size to more than
2,000 dedicated employees, making it one of the largest
and most profitable carriers in North America.
As the result of the success
I achieved as their in-house corporate recruiter, I realized
that a small search firm could thrive by giving clients
the best and broadest access to top transportation talent.
I opened my own firm in January 2002 and brought my specialized
experience in logistics and combined it with my commitment
to deliver a level of service that remains unsurpassed in
the industry today.
As my firm continues to
grow in size and reputation, I have not forgotten that our
long-term success is based on the continued satisfaction
of each client we serve and every candidate we place. This
conviction is part of our mission statement and drives our
performance as we serve clients across the country and around
the world.
