Chet's attention to detail and knowledge of the transportation industry enabled KIK to implement a web based TMS and load tendering system seamlessly. This system helped generate over $1MM in freight savings and operational efficiency gains in the first year of operation.

Chet is an excellent manager and colleague. He was my boss at KIK for 3 years. He is extremely easy to work for and is constantly looking for ways to help you grow in your career. You can go to Chet with any issues or concerns and Chet will always find a way to help you through the problem. He is intelligent, a hard worker, and I learned a great deal from Chet. He has been a key part of helping me get to where I am today.
