Previously, he was Vice President of Enterprise Sales at Dart, focused on truckload brokerage.

• Calvin Easley, Director of Sales – Gulf Region
For the last five years, Mr. Easley has overseen handling regional drayage sales with a focus on the Dallas and Houston regions. He previously held the position of Director of Sales at Dunavant Enterprises and has a degree in supply chain management from Texas A&M.
