I have dealt with the trucking industry most of my working life. I was a Customs Broker for 20 years dealing with truck drivers every day.  In 1998 an opportunity came my way to join the team at Steed Standard Transport Ltd where I have been employed for the last 18 years.  At first I did the billing and helped out in dispatch.   As the company grew my roll has expanded to “Jill of all trades” where I am involved in various aspects of the trucking operation such as IFTA reporting, dealing with U.S. and Canadian Customs issues and quoting rates to Customers.  Through the years I have found that the trucking industry is never boring and brings challenges every day.  I have really enjoyed it as there is so much to know and learn.
