Please join the Central Region leadership team in congratulating Tracy Walker, our new Regional Operations Manager for the Final Mile Network. Tracy will be replacing Lloyd Trader on March 4, 2013.
Tracy began his career with J.B. Hunt in 2003 as an Operations Supervisor at the Archway Cookies in Ashland, OH. J.B. Hunt was fortunate to acquire Tracy's services from Archway Cookies. He had worked in various supervisory roles at Archway for 18 years, including the management of the private fleet drivers. After 1.5 years, Tracy was promoted to Account Manager II of the Archway account. Tracy was responsible for 30 drivers, 3 Operation Supervisors, and over 575 independent distributors over a delivery area that included everything east of the rocky mountains. In August of 2007, the opportunity to transition to safety arose in Columbus, OH. Tracy supported our Columbus Service Center as a Safety Instructor. As our region continued to grow, we quickly transitioned Tracy to an Area Risk Manager role for the state of Ohio.
With the addition of Final Mile Services in 2009, we placed Tracy at the Clyde, OH location. At the time, Tracy also owned the Solon, OH location until the official P & L split allowed for two separate LDC sites. Tracy's leadership helped Clyde and Solon perform to all our key service, safety and operational expectations. Due to a need for Tracy's safety skill and knowledge, we asked him to return to his ARM role in May 2011. He has supported accounts in OH, PA, MI and WV along with being a key component of our flawless Start Ups for Falcon Packaging, Pet Supplies Plus, Toys R Us, and COE Distributing.
Tracy attended North Central State College with a focus in Business Management and completed Leaders 301 in 2006. Tracy and his wife Lynn reside in Greenwich, OH. They have two children named Ashley and Adam. Ashley is a massage therapist in Cleveland and Adam is currently serving in Afghanistan with the US Army 1487th TC.
