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.
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.
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.
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 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
Recognize the challenge and do something about it. We are doers and achievers. Be ambitious, be fast, work smart, and GSD.
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.
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.
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 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.
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?"
We are a company of continual improvement. Challenge the norm, "the way it's always been done." Be a life-long learner.
Identify how you can improve your customers' efficiencies and create win-win scenarios. Be a walking, talking Packer brand ambassador.
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 not processes or numbers to be managed. We are a family, where everybody matters and bleeds Packer green.
We encourage and make it possible for everyone to be at their best, both physically and mentally. Make "Safety" a habit.
We build each other by creating an environment that develops our gifts. Listen with empathy, build relationships, and focus on shaping values and beliefs.
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?"
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.
