Bio
John F. Hendershot
Over the past five years I have witnessed Ben blossom as a leader. Ben is continuously seeking new ways to better our organization by vastly improving our safety and DOT programs. Ben has also spent countless hours researching, implementing and training our crews on our corporate Operator Qualification standards. Aside from his obvious professionalism Ben is a joy to be around. He is smart, funny, honest, while still being able to critically analyze tough situations. I consider Ben as a true gem, and I am truthfully blessed to be able to work with him.
