President & CEO

More services, more solutions— it’s all about getting you where you need to be.

When CRST International, Inc. announced the transformation from trucking firm to The Transportation Solution back in 1997, it was a move made with our customers in mind.

More than just our tagline, The Transportation Solution describes the benefit a partnership with CRST International delivers. It begins with one of the broadest scopes of trucking services in the industry. We also offer comprehensive logistics services that help you streamline and more effectively manage your logistics activities to help save you money, save time and simplify your job.

After a very difficult three year downturn, the trucking industry is beginning to see signs of recovery. While many carriers were going out of business, downsizing and struggling to stay afloat, CRST was busy laying the groundwork to maintain our industry leading position in our respective business niches and to serve the future needs of our customers.

Our highly-skilled and tenured executive management team has done a tremendous job of focusing their efforts on increasing efficiency and maintaining strong profitability. We are continuing to build the infrastructure needed to meet our growth plans. In addition to $100 million in incremental equipment additions planned over the next 15 months, CRST is building a $15 million terminal in Riverside, Calif., and expanding our newly-built training center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

We believe our strong financial position, which includes a debt-free balance sheet, will allow us to capitalize on the improved freight conditions by growing our truck fleets to meet our customers’ needs at a competitive cost. Our executive management team has a combined 125 years of transportation expertise solving the toughest supply chain challenges. Focusing on every aspect of product transfer, from long hauls to supply chain logistics, is what has allowed our four operating companies to lead the industry.

With more than 3,500 drivers, CRST Expedited, Inc. operates the trucking industry’s largest fleet of team drivers. The company provides customers with irregular or scheduled routes in long haul, short haul, air cargo and dedicated fleets with secure, on-time, damage-free delivery.

CRST Malone, Inc. is an industry leader in the management of flatbed freight with 1,600 trucks, independent contractors and drivers covering 48 states and 130 million miles annually. The company also has one of the industry’s largest fleets with removable side kit equipment that provides weather protection for freight such as aluminum and high end steel.

CRST Dedicated Services, Inc. provides customers with services ranging from a totally dedicated fleet to a single-source transportation network. Our services are available in any number of equipment types-van, solo or teams, to flatbed or bulk containers.

CRST Logistics, Inc. is a full-service asset-based third party logistics (3PL) provider with big advantages to offer- from transportation brokerage services and freight management to complete transportation outsourcing. We leverage our buying power to the fastest, safest, most innovative ways to move your products, anywhere.

When it comes to serving customers, CRST’s mission is clear: Never promise more than we can deliver; Always deliver more than we promise.

Look to CRST International for service that goes beyond simply responding to your needs to a partnership that helps make your job easier.
