Network Transport expands, completes move into new headquarters

Ferguson added: “… [O]ur new offices are state of the art with a layout and an existing infrastructure that provides everything that our company and our employees need from a facilities standpoint to be successful in what we do.

Part of the company’s growth strategy involves its training program, with a greater focus on extensive employee development with practical coaching, compared to brokerage models that churn through lightly trained entry-level employees who serve as assistants before attempting to secure their own accounts.

The company believes that the path forward lies in the quality of training and development for its workers. Bob Poulos, chief commercial officer for Network Transport, told The Chattanoogan: “Not only are we growing as a company, but Network Transport is committed to bringing what we are calling life-changing logistics jobs to the Chattanooga region. The jobs we are adding to this market will be offering an industry-leading pay structure with essentially an unlimited earnings potential, and every position we’re adding is supported by an innovative, industry-best training program that is designed to comfortably welcome people with no logistics experience into a fast-growing industry.”

The Chattanooga metro area remains a hotbed of logistics talent, with two major trucking companies and dozens of smaller brokerages taking advantage of the pool of high-quality labor. With pandemic and geopolitical-related disruptions, there will continue to be a demand for experienced 3PLs to locate often difficult-to-find trucking capacity.
