?? Meet Steve Morehead, one of our dispatchers! Steve has only been with K&J for a month and a half, but he has been associated with us for a long while. "I have always seen great things with this company and now, being part of it, I like the teamwork and camaraderie needed to get the job done, from order to offload," Steve said. Before coming to K&J Steve worked as a fuel dispatcher, but he has also been a driver and worked in customer service. "I like the logistics of putting together loads, working with drivers, and collaborating with customers and vendors to improve efficiencies, helping others where I can," Steve said. "The beautiful sunrises are also a bonus!" In his spare time, Steve likes to walk his two Great Danes, read ???, bike ???, fish ??, and volunteer. He has a wonderful wife, Danette, and two kids, Brayden and Elle. Thanks for being part of K&J, Steve! We are blessed to know and love you! #teamthursday #drivekandj #meettheteam #bestfleets2024

?? Meet Tom Murphy, our Director of Business Development! Tom has been at K&J for just over 2 years. "I had been acquainted with several folks from K&J over the years through my involvement with the SDTA," Tom said. "K&J has such a great reputation in the community, and I felt like it would be a huge honor and success to work for K&J. That is definitely true." When Tom first joined our team he was part of dispatch. "I sat in dispatch/ops for my first 2 years at K&J, which gave me a great insight into how our trucks move, the freight that we haul, etc. Having that knowledge and experience made me realize that something was missing," Tom said. "So, I have recently transitioned into my new role as Director of Business Development. This role will allow me to utilize some of my other tools and skills. My short and long-term goals are pricing, finding new customers, nurturing relationships with current customers, and supporting the long-term vision and path for the company." In his spare time, Tom enjoys volunteering as part of the South Dakota Trucking Association's Executive Committee and on the Issues Management Council with the Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce. He also loves spending time at the lake, fishing, and hunting! ?? Tom and his wife of 26 years share three boys who are all currently in college. Thanks for being part of K&J, Tom! We are blessed to know and love you! #teamthursday #drivekandj #meettheteam #bestfleets2024

?? Meet Mandisa Monroe, who works at the Front Desk and in Payroll! Mandisa came to K&J about a month ago after the trucking company she worked for closed its doors. Mandisa has been in trucking since 2018. She began as an OTR driver driving teams and then pursued being a solo owner-operator before returning to company driving. In 2023 Mandisa transferred out of the truck and into office work. She went to the dark side! In her current role at K&J Mandisa works at the front desk on trips processing and driver payroll as well as other administrative projects. "The work I am doing here with K&J is a positive and fulfilling challenge and responsibility," Mandisa said. "I work with the most amazing group of team-focused people, with the best attitudes and personalities." In her spare time, Mandisa enjoys learning about new things, specifically history and archeology. "When I’m not wrapped up in history, I am lost in horticulture projects, studying herbology, cooking, and practicing vinyasa yoga," Mandisa said. "I also work part-time as a Client Care Coordinator at a local women's shelter. Thanks for being part of K&J, Mandisa!
