We put energy? behind everything we do! Meet new hire Eddie Northcraft, our International Logistics Coordinator at our Repairs Division with his thoughts on MD&A: Q: Why did you choose to work for MD&A? A: I was working for another company doing international logistics and I did a lot of research on MD&A and found out what they did and it was definitely something I was interested in. I’ve been doing logistics for about 15 years now so it piqued my interest. It’s been about four months now and everything‘s out working out great. Q: How would you describe our company culture? A: Everybody’s friendly here! It’s a big corporation but they don’t feel like it. If you have issues and you gotta take a day off here or there - they’re very open and they’re very lenient on giving you what you need. Also if you have any other issues in your personal life - there’s programs that can help you. It’s just an all-around great atmosphere to be in! Q: What has been your favorite project at MD&A so far? A: My favorite project so far today has been a big international project and we’ve had to send trucks by barge over to an island. We’ve done probably around 15 to 20 air freight shipments to it. It’s just been one of those projects that’s a lot of moving pieces and a lot of manpower involved. It’s very challenging but it’s also very rewarding! Explore A Career with a Powerful Purpose! At MD&A, We truly work together, as one team! We collaborate, we listen, we innovate. Interested in joining our team?

Since the start, I've been unable to stop myself from talking The Mainfreight Way to everyone and anyone who will listen. The people, the values, goals, and interactions have transcended into my everyday life in so many ways. Those I surround myself with, family and friends, see the joy and pride radiate off me when I talk about my career at Mainfreight. So much so, that my life-time best friend wanted to join the team... So today I would like to congratulate Brittany Anderson on her third month with us at Mainfreight Americas. I am more than excited for her to join me and my other teammates on the sales team later this year. “Tear down the walls of bureaucracy, hierarchy and superiority.” One of my most favored cultural beliefs at Mainfreight. I seen this being practiced from day one; no one person is better than another. We are all working with integrity towards the same goal; "to keep ahead of our competitor by the superior performance of our people. The only measurement of that superior performance is how the customer perceives it." Entering this industry can be intimidating. There are many moving parts each playing a role. But take away job descriptions, we know how our teammates contribute, we've been trained to assist/perform those tasks ourselves. Learning the business and how it operates is essential to maintaining our one-hundred-year company philosophy. And that begins on our docks. I am so proud to see the personal development in Brittany throughout her training process. Her learning has truly been compulsory. Once again, congratulations! We’re just getting started.

When I joined American Freight, one of the first things I did was take a screenshot of the homepage. It may sound simple, but for me, it was a small way to capture a "moment in time"—a snapshot of where things stood on Day One. I planned to do the same on my last day, hoping to see the evolution of the website as a reflection of all the hard work, changes, and growth we would accomplish together. While my time at American Freight ended sooner than I’d anticipated, I still took that second screenshot on my last day. After 9 months and 27 days, it’s true that not much had changed visually, but this experience taught me a valuable lesson: change isn’t always visible. Sometimes, the most important changes happen in the processes, behind the scenes, or even within the people involved. This screenshot tradition reminds me of the dedication and effort we all put into our work, no matter the outcome. Excited to see what the next "screenshot" in my career journey will look like! #CareerJourney #DigitalSnapshots #AmericanFreight

Many diversified transport companies will reassign career freight or relocation drivers to handle spikes in volume or fill openings on the automotive side of their business. Be careful; the last thing you want is a an inexperienced driver handling your shipment. There are so many nuances to properly handling automotive shipments. Remember, there is no substitute for well-trained, dedicated, professional drivers that focus solely on vehicles and the automotive industry. At Masney we have extremely skilled drivers that get the job done safely, on-time, and damage free daily - 24/7. It’s all we do - the Masney difference! Choose your next transport company wisely. Make Masney your first call. You won’t be sorry.

If you're hiring internationally for the first time. - Double-check all the details. - Take time to understand the processes. - Research your supplier. Make sure they're trusted. What are your experiences when hiring internationally?

Today marks the third day at my new job, and while I'm feeling a bit tired ?? , I'm also gaining valuable hands-on experience. My role involves driving the iconic Australian Hilux to deliver goods, often heavy metal equipment or building materials. Although I spent a total of five days training throughout August, I quickly discovered that real-world practice presents its own challenges. I didn’t take the time to reflect after my training, which has left some areas in need of improvement as I start this job. The job requires an early arrival at the pickup location, where securing the load with tie-down straps is crucial to ensure the goods are protected during transit. Building good relationships with the staff at the pickup points is also key, as they are long-term partners, and making a positive impression—such as remembering their names—can go a long way. By the second day, I realized the importance of contacting the customer ahead of the drop-off. Waiting until I’m nearly there can be stressful and unsafe, given that making calls while driving is both illegal and dangerous. Reaching out about 30 minutes before arrival gives the customer ample time to prepare and provides me with crucial information, like the correct parking spot. It also ensures the contact information on the paperwork is accurate and up-to-date. Most importantly, I’ve learned that communication is the cornerstone of this job. Keeping an open line with the manager, pickup point, and customer is essential. As a driver, I often find myself in the middle, where unresolved issues can easily escalate. Whether it’s a delivery delay or unexpected parking fees, clear communication with the customer can make all the difference. My takeaway is that addressing issues head-on and openly with the customer reduces complications. Lastly, safety and avoiding any scrapes or damages are paramount. No matter how skilled I am at the job, a single mistake on the road could lead to losses far greater than any wages earned. My goal is to use this experience to build my skills, whether I continue as a driver in HR or pursue a future as a tour bus driver. This job is a stepping stone towards those goals.
