Aim Transportation Solutions’ team had the pleasure of collaborating for a routine meeting—which highlighted a monumental achievement—with the driver and helper staff of their long-standing Integrated Logistics partner, Family Express.

Family Express, a renowned chain of 81 convenience stores in Indiana, has been a cherished customer of Aim Integrated Logistics for many years. Originating on Christmas Day in 1975 under the leadership of President and CEO Gus Olympidis, this award-winning chain continues to expand, with plans for new locations currently in progress, and Aim is grateful to play a role in their success.  

Millions of drivers—including Aim commercial truck renters, full-service lease customers, and Aim Integrated Logistics professional drivers—will find themselves in the path of the upcoming solar eclipse.

The Total Solar Eclipse will occur on April 8, passing over parts of Mexico, the United States, and Canada. In the United States, the eclipse can be observed between 12:23 pm CDT and 4:40 pm EDT, with a duration of approximately 4 minutes and 27 seconds, varying based on location. Officials are preparing travelers for possible delays and hazards they may experience during these times.

In a world dominated by corporate giants, two family-owned and -operated businesses have come together in a strategic business partnership. Aim’s integration with leading pallet provider, Millwood, Inc, announced in September, is now blossoming and expanding into the great state of Texas. What began as two Ohio-based companies, headquartered just 14 miles apart, recognizing the potential for mutual success through combined resources, knowledge, and experience has evolved into a multi-state expansion and a lasting bond forged between two expanding companies with small-town values.

Aim Transportation Solutions recently announced the promotion of Chris Disantis to Executive Vice President of Maintenance.

In his new position, Chris will continue to lead Aim’s maintenance operations while also serving on the company's executive team.

"Chris' ability to collaborate maintenance with sales is a great asset to the company," said Matt Svancara, Chief Operating Officer of Aim Leasing.

The presence of women is steadily increasing in the traditionally male-dominated commercial transportation industry. As more women join the ranks of truck drivers, dispatchers, managers and executives, their impact is being felt in various aspects of the industry. Their influence has helped drive innovation, safety, and efficiency, highlighting the importance of gender diversity in this crucial function of our country.

Women in the transportation industry diversifies the workforce. Why is this important if not necessary? Women bring different perspectives, experiences and skills to the table, enriching the industry and promoting a more inclusive environment. Incorporating this diversity at every level of the industry—from leadership, to drivers, to mechanics and everything in between—can lead to better problem-solving, increased creativity and improved decision-making. Ultimately, these benefits amount to higher efficiency, enhanced productivity and increased profitability for businesses operating in the transportation sector.
