In the fast-paced and competitive world of business, there is one thing that Aim Transportation Solutions refuses to let slide: employee appreciation. While salaries and benefits are essential, there's another aspect of employee satisfaction that should never be overlooked: recognition and appreciation.

One of the ways Aim Transportation Solutions shows appreciation to our employees is by hosting employee appreciation lunches at each of our shops nationwide. As you may have seen on Aim’s social media over the summer, our awesome service managers and local teams host a lunch in their respective shops to show appreciation for the job each Aim employee performs daily. Most of the lunches are also attended by a member or two from our executive team in addition to the local folks.

Aim Transportation Solutions is thrilled to announce it has been named to Newsweek’s list of Top 100 Most Loved Workplaces® for 2023. This list recognizes companies that have created a workplace where employees feel respected, inspired, appreciated and who are the core of the business model.

Whether in the hallway, stepping out of a truck or working under the hood, most Aim employees will tell you the same thing: working at Aim is like being part of a family. It’s that idea of family—support, unity, compassion and inclusivity—that informs every action and every decision the company makes.

Aim Transportation Solutions is excited to announce the promotion of Joseph Hodges to Mobile Applications Engineer. Joseph started with Aim in 2013, as a Junior Engineer, and every day since he has proven how vital he is to Aim’s MIS team and Aim’s overall mission. 

In Joe’s new position, the major focus will be leading the development of the Aim Navigator iOS app, as well as training and overseeing any junior iOS developers brought onto the project. It will be his responsibilities to suggest and oversee any new technologies brought into the iOS app and keeping the iOS Aim Navigator app up to date with the latest technologies Apple brings to the platform. 

“Along with this new responsibility, I will also continue to rotate between various technologies, applications, and problem spaces at Aim,” Joe said.

Aim Transportation Solutions is excited to announce the promotion of Alexander Smith to Mobile Applications Engineer. 

Alexander graduated from Youngstown State University in 2022 with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and started his career with Aim three years ago as an intern. 

In his new position, Alexander will be responsible for managing the Android Aim Navigator app. That includes, but not limited to, producing new features, improving performance, and keeping up with the latest Android policy changes.

Aim Transportation Solutions launched a game-changing Road Rescue feature to its smartphone app, Aim Navigator. In fact, this new Road Rescue function—which streamlines the way Aim customer drivers request roadside service—is so game-changing that it caught the eye of the industry-renowned Commercial Carrier Journal, which recently profiled this Aim Navigator add-on.

One doesn’t often think of a family-owned and -operated company turning heads when it comes to technological innovations, but for Aim, it’s business as usual. For decades and running, Aim’s Chief Information Officer and Vice President of Information Technology, John Reed, and the technology department he leads have been dreaming up revolutionary ideas and turning them into real-world applications, adding value you won’t find anywhere else but Aim.
