Oregon Trucking Associations, Inc.
Oregon Truck Dispatch
A & M Transport—Kristina
heads up human resources and
Ryan oversees flatbed dispatch
operations.
Suzan, the youngest daughter
of Andy Sr., and Marian, is CFO.
Suzan’s husband Jim, and their son
Patrick work in Dry Van Dispatch
Operations.
Kathleen is the oldest child of Andy
Sr., and Marian, and she wears
many hats in the safety department.
Under Andy’s guidance, A & M
Transport operates throughout
Oregon, Washington, California,
Nevada, and Arizona, with most
of the activity occurring along the
I-5 corridor. The principle types of
freight transported by the company
include consumer products, retail
store merchandise, food products,
paper products, beverages (alcoholic
and non-alcoholic), industrial
products, steel products, lumber,
and other building materials.
Andy stated the company would
grow even more if they could find
qualified drivers to put behind the
wheel. Even with a low turnover
rate of just 35% (as compared to
a national level that often reaches
100%), the driver shortage makes it
a challenge. Andy contributes their
low turnover to being a local carrier
that is dedicated to finding a solid
work-life balance for all employees
