SHIFT Freight's Executive Team Expands to Keep Pace With Their Record-Setting Growth

Fast-Growing, Premium LTL Carrier Brings On Joe Bartone as President. End Quote

Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) October 09, 2014 - SHIFT Freight, a premium LTL carrier that has grown exponentially due to its customer-first movement of freight, announces the appointment of its newest executive team member, Joe Bartone, to President.

In his position as President of SHIFT Freight, Bartone is heading the company's execution of its expansion across the country through strategic business development. Prior to joining SHIFT Freight, Bartone was with another premium LTL carrier, Con-way Freight, for five years where he headed their sales efforts on the West Coast. With an impressive career in the LTL sector with premium LTL carriers, Bartone brings a keen sense of the industry's scope and leadership to the team.

"We see a gap of customer-centric LTL transportation in this industry, which our team at SHIFT has completely redefined in a way that our competitors just can't match," said Bartone. "The things we have planned for the future are going to change the game for LTL. We have an extraordinarily strong team and the strategic depth of our customer relationships is going to leave lower-service carriers reeling."

Bartone's appointment kicks off a new chapter for the growing LTL carrier. Following its first year, the company expanded its regional footprint to cover a service area reaching more than 80 percent of the country. The company's service metrics have been fueled by this growth, with record on-time delivery percentages of over 99% in Q3. This dedication to service has given it the trust of their customers, with many of them moving large amounts of freight to SHIFT to tap into the reliability they offer.

"Bringing Joe onto the team is a complete game-changer," said Tommy Skinner, Vice President of SHIFT. "Our team has done an incredible job getting us to where we are today, but we're now on a new chapter for our company. There are big things ahead."
