We are excited to announce that Michael and Sheena Hatcher have been named TSH's Owner Operators of the Month for January 2025!

As a married couple, Michael and Sheena drive together, building their business and achieving their goals side by side. While on the road, they enjoy each other's company, often talking and listening to their favorite artists, Sade and Toni Braxton. One of their most memorable experiences was hauling AC units to a prison in California, a unique load that stands out in their journey with TSH. Outside of work, Michael and Sheena cherish family outings with their kids and love attending comedy shows on date nights. Their advice to other Owner Operators is practical and insightful: Michael emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the bottom dollar and being profitable, while Sheena advises staying consistently loaded.

African Americans have made invaluable contributions to the trucking and transportation industry, shaping logistics, supply chains, and road safety. Garrett Augustus Morgan revolutionized traffic management with his invention of the three-position traffic signal, a critical advancement in roadway safety. Frederick McKinley Jones, a self-taught engineer, developed refrigerated truck technology, enabling the long-distance transport of perishable goods and transforming the modern supply chain. Gladys West, a brilliant mathematician, played a key role in developing satellite geodesy models, which became the foundation of GPS technology—a system that truckers and logistics professionals rely on daily to navigate efficiently and deliver goods on time. At Tennessee Steel Haulers (TSH), we celebrate the diversity and dedication of all professionals in transportation, honoring both the legacy and ongoing impact of African Americans in our industry. Their leadership, innovation, and hard work keep America moving forward. Let’s keep driving forward together.?

This month, we take time to reflect on the remarkable contributions of Black innovators and trailblazers who have shaped our world and industry, including Frederick McKinley Jones. Jones held over 60 patents, with his most notable being for portable refrigeration units in trucks—an invention that revolutionized the transportation of perishable goods. His mobile refrigeration units were crucial during WWII, preserving blood, medicine, and food. In 1991, Jones became the first African American to receive the National Medal of Technology, leaving a lasting legacy of innovation and progress. His groundbreaking work continues to inspire advancements in transportation and beyond. #BlackHistoryMonth #Transportation #Scientist ***************************************************************************** Ce mois-ci, nous prenons le temps de réfléchir aux contributions remarquables des innovateurs et pionniers noirs qui ont fa?onné notre monde et notre industrie, y compris Frederick McKinley Jones.
