OUR

FREIGHT

Family

We're a dedicated team of spirited Midwesterners and farm boys from the heartland. We've never shied away from hard work and grew up believing that honesty is the best policy. This commitment, along with integrity and a strong desire to help others is part of our nature.

PULL UP A STOOL.

We're pumped you're here. You'll find that working with Packer Freight is equal parts muscle and hustle, fun and getting s*^t done.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO, AKA, WHY WE GIVE A DAMN.

Because we're all in this together. We believe in developing one another—and ourselves—to create value and opportunity. So that together, we can continue to build something great for our team members, customers, vendors and our community.

WHO WE ARE.

Our Packer Freight Swagger is who we are and who we aspire to be. There are 14 "swaggeristic" values that define us—values that customers expect from us and that as employees, we expect from one another.

WHAT WE (REALLY) DO HERE.

On the surface, it's pretty simple: we broker freight. But underneath, we're driven by some lofty goals and a higher purpose: we build partnerships through our people and a commitment to create a win-win environment with both shippers and carriers.

THE PACKER FREIGHT

Swagger

The Packer Freight Swagger is who we are and who we aspire to be. The following fundamentals are part manifesto, part handbook. They are a set of shared beliefs, values, and practices that define us, and defines our Swagger

BE GRITTY

Recognize the challenge and do something about it. We are doers and achievers. Be ambitious, be fast, work smart, and GSD.

MAINTAIN A POSITIVE MINDSET

Be passionate and positive. You have the power to choose your attitude and your perspective. Remember, the world has bigger problems than delayed shipments. Fuel up on fun and win the day.

DELIVER SOLUTIONS

Do not be governed by what-ifs. Every obstacle offers opportunity. Focus on possibilities, don't be complacent, and keep your foot on the gas.

FAIL FAST AND LEARN

There is no failure, only feedback. This is how we grow. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, learn from it, and become your best.

ACT WITH INTEGRITY

Act in the best interest of our customers, our organization, and our coworkers. Do the right thing at all times, in all circumstances, whether or not anyone is watching.

PRACTICE GENEROSITY

Take the time and opportunity to make a difference. Use your talents and successes to enrich others' futures. Instead of asking "what can I get?" ask "what can I give?"

CHALLENGE & CHANGE

We are a company of continual improvement. Challenge the norm, "the way it's always been done." Be a life-long learner.

THINK LIKE A CUSTOMER & ACT LIKE AN OWNER

Identify how you can improve your customers' efficiencies and create win-win scenarios. Be a walking, talking Packer brand ambassador.

BECOME THE EXPERT

Our competence confirms we are logistics experts. Approach every task with energy, purpose, critical thinking, detail, follow-up, and enthusiasm. Take the responsibility, do the research, and be the expert.

WE ARE A BUSINESS FAMILY

We are not processes or numbers to be managed. We are a family, where everybody matters and bleeds Packer green.

EMBRACE OPPORTUNITY

We encourage and make it possible for everyone to be at their best, both physically and mentally. Make "Safety" a habit.

CREATE LEADERS

We build each other by creating an environment that develops our gifts. Listen with empathy, build relationships, and focus on shaping values and beliefs.

MAKE QUALITY PERSONAL

Quality is not an act, it is a habit. Take pride in everything you touch and everything you do. Ask yourself, "Is this my best work?"

DELIVER RESULTS

Identify what you're passionate about, what drives you, what you're the best at, and align yourself with the biggest opportunity. Set high goals, leverage your strengths, and hold yourself accountable.

Packer Freight is the logistics arm of Packer Fastener, a national industrial supplier since 1998.
