PILOT PROMOTES TWO TEAM MEMBERS TO REGIONAL VICE PRESIDENT IN THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHEAST

LIMA, PA - July 6, 2018 - Pilot Freight Services (Pilot), a worldwide provider of transportation and logistics services, announces the promotion of two team members as part of the company's continued growth and expansion in the e-commerce and international business markets. Brian Flower and Christine Morgan have both been appointed regional vice presidents, reporting directly to COO Zach Pollock, and responsible for managing, supporting and acting as mentors to the district managers within their respective territories.

In his new role as northeast regional vice president, Brian Flower will continue to focus on optimizing efficiencies to grow the business and implement new systems to meet the needs of customers. Prior to his promotion, Flower served as the district manager of Pilot's Newark, NJ (EWR) station since he joined the company in 2010. During his first year at Pilot, EWR became the company's first corporate certified cargo screen facility (CCSF) and Flower helped model the program for the company as it expanded to other stations. He has provided a link for other stations to IT by testing company initiatives prior to launch. Flower's team has earned a top spot in operations excellence rankings year after year and has been the recipient of four peer-nominated awards celebrating the station's efforts.


Christine Morgan has successfully implemented business growth strategies since joining Pilot in 2015. As the southeast regional vice president, she will drive revenue and oversee the region from Pilot's Charlotte station. She has held managerial roles in the company's Greenville, SC (GSP) and Charlotte, NC (CLT) stations. In Greenville, she facilitated solutions to enhance new and existing client accounts and grew final mile deliveries. She has nearly doubled review for GSP station since she joined the team and profits at CLT have increased by more than 25 percent.

"Pilot is dedicated to developing talent from within our organization," said Zach Pollock, COO of Pilot Freight Services. "In line with our overall growth initiatives this year, we are confident that Brian and Christine will lead their teams with the dedication and commitment to success with which they've shown throughout their tenure in the company."
