Please join the Central Region leadership team in congratulating Jerry Hoban, our new Regional Operations Manager for the Greater New York Region. Jerry will be replacing Matthew Walsh on March 4, 2013.
Jerry worked as a Store Manager at AutoZone prior to joining J.B. Hunt. Jerry was hired in March of 2008 as an Operations Supervisor at our Family Dollar account in Rome, NY. After 10 months of excellent performance, Jerry was promoted to Account Manager of the Cargill Animal Nutrition account with responsibility of the Liverpool and Gouverneur, NY sites. Both these operations saw great improvement during Jerry's brief tenure. In September of 2009 the decision was made to bring Jerry back to Family Dollar in Rome, NY as an Account Manager II. This account involved leading a team of 50 drivers/tractors and 2 Operations Supervisors. Meaningful steps were taken during the 1.4 years of Jerry's leadership in the areas of risk management, tractor utility, and budget effectiveness.
With the move of our PPG-Delaware, OH fleet to the 35th floor of PPG place in downtown Pittsburgh, a search for a leader was undertaken throughout our division. Jerry applied for the Transportation General Manager opportunity and has performed admirably for the past 2 years. As a testament to the leadership exhibited by Mr. Hoban, our PPG team was awarded the Central Region Driver Dedicated Account of the Year and Overall Account of the Year for 2012 for our large account category. The performance of this fleet under Jerry's direction has been solid in all the key metric areas.
Jerry is originally from the Utica, NY area. He is a graduate of St. John's University in Queens, NY with a degree in Business Administration. With the promotion to Operations Manager, we fully expect Jerry to return to the Central New York area. He will be leaving behind great memories of a flawless startup with PPG and a set of season tickets for the 2013 Pittsburgh Pirates season.
