Carrier Group
Delivering critical freight with care
Spartan specializes in the seamless transport of time-sensitive freight, particularly for automotive manufacturers who rely on precise, just-in-time deliveries. Its trailers regularly move essential parts from suppliers across North America, directly to production lines, where they are immediately integrated into the assembly process. The company’ s portfolio also includes retail and food-grade goods, from athletic footwear to refrigerated dairy shipments.
But logistics acumen is only part of the story. Behind the company’ s operational success is a workplace culture rooted in purpose.“ We begin each day with prayer and reflection, seeking guidance on how to lead and serve,” Bobby explains.“ It doesn’ t make us perfect, but it grounds us in a mission that goes beyond profits.”
We invest in our drivers, not just with pay and new equipment, but with respect and real human connection
Culture as a competitive advantage
Spartan’ s people-first culture has proven to be more than a moral compass – it’ s a strategic differentiator. In an industry where driver turnover percentages remain in triple digits annually, Spartan boasts the lowest rates in the industry.“ We invest in our drivers, not just with pay and new equipment, but with respect and real human connection,” Bobby says.“ We regularly call our drivers just to check in and ask how they’ re doing. That level of care is rare in this space, and it makes a difference.”
