The Team & Assets
Gem Logistics is a team of two employees, managing an all-owner-operator fleet of 12 drivers, each domiciled out of Lori’s office. A unique aspect of her fleet is their use of Conestoga trailers, which require both skill and a strong sense of personal ownership. In fact, the Detroit office boasts more Conestoga trailers than any other CRST flatbed fleet.
Advice for New Agents
Lori’s tip for new agents? Build connections within the company.
“Call some of the existing agents and see if you can put together lanes that work for both of you,” said Lori.
Growing the Business
Lori is eager to get more involved in the pricing process for national accounts, seeing it as a valuable opportunity to drive growth for Gem Logistics.
Why CRST?
After 21 years with CRST and almost eight of those years as the Agency Owner, Lori says CRST made the transition seamless to become an agent. “The money is good, and I know who to go to when I need help.” Lori took over the Detroit operation when her mentor, Chuck Graham, retired after 35 years of running the company.
