Employee Testimonials
I started with Keller through their Logistics Development Program in 2014, providing me a great opportunity to expand my knowledge base and see what each area of logistics is really all about. Since then, I’ve been given countless opportunities to continue to learn and grow in our business and work my way up to my current role as Director of Operations. I’ve had great leadership support throughout my career here and am thankful for all the amazing people I’ve met and worked with along the way. It’s an exciting time in Warehousing and I can’t wait to see what the future brings!
I have been with Keller Trucking for over 10 years, it has been quite a ride. We have more than doubled in size since I started and have no intentions of that growth slowing down in the future. I began as an intern and have grown through 4 different positions in those 10+ years to now President of our Trucking Division. With this significant growth and high level of focus on developing our people from the top down the career advancement opportunities at Keller are endless.
My career with Keller began right after college. At that time I was working in Sales for Keller Freight Solutions – a fast-paced and dynamic position where I learned all about the transportation industry. After a time in Sales, I saw an opportunity in the scope of my degree – Human Resources. As I moved into our corporate company, Keller Logistics Group, I had the support of my manager and that continues today. With the opportunity for advancement, I have recently moved from HR Coordinator to my new role as HRIS and Benefits Administrator gaining a holistic view of the HR functions. There are many stories similar to mine where employees have moved throughout Keller into new roles, a unique characteristic of any company.
Keller Logistics Group company culture
A company’s culture affects everything – so, in many ways culture is the real bottom line. A company with a well-developed meaningful culture, easily out performs competitors with a less developed culture, where people are less involved and committed to success.
At Keller Logistics Group, we want to maintain a value system which serves as a guide for how we function in our daily work life. As with many aspects in business, you’re always striving to be better, be LEAN-er, grow and as an individual and a leader. It’s very similar to what Ralph Waldo Emmerson said, “Life is a journey, not a destination.” We are always on a path – or TRAIL – to becoming the best person we can be, the best co-worker we can, and the best business we can be.
Our defined corporate culture for Keller Logistics Group, which really strikes at the core of who we are, is defined by the acronmyn T.R.A.I.L.S.
