Dayton Freight names Nate Reed vice president of sales amid leadership transition

Dayton Freight Lines recently named Nate Reed VP of sales, succeeding Dave Brady, who helped shape the company’s customer service reputation. Reed joined Dayton Freight in 2011 and has held leadership roles in operations and sales, most recently serving as director of sales.

“It has been a tremendous honor to work alongside Dave Brady over the years and especially through this transition,” Reed said. “His dedication, expertise, and commitment to our customers and people have provided me with a strong foundation as I step into this role. What I love about the transportation industry is that no two days are ever the same. It requires flexibility and a focus on continuous improvement. I believe true success comes from operating with humility and delivering an unmatched experience for our customers, and I look forward to continuing that.”

The company said Reed’s combined operations and sales experience will support customer partnerships and continued growth.

Truck Parking Club adds Sydnie Wilda to grow truck parking property partnerships

Truck Parking Club recently named Sydnie Wilda VP of property, self storage, bringing nine years of self-storage operations, underwriting, and management experience to the company.

"I signed up as a Property Member before I ever thought about working here, so I have been on the other side of this," Wilda said. "When I talk to an owner about adding truck parking, I am not pitching something I read about. I have done it. I know what the setup actually takes, what the reporting looks like, and what shows up in the bank account."

Wilda will focus on expanding Truck Parking Club’s self-storage partnerships as the company works to grow its marketplace of reservable truck and trailer parking locations. Read more…
