Former Con-way President Joins Post.Bid.Ship. Board of Directors
Post.Bid.Ship., a leading online marketplace for the commercial freight industry, has announced that Herb Schmidt, retired president of Con-way Truckload, is joining its Board of Directors.
“We’re excited to welcome an industry veteran of Herb’s caliber to our Board,” said Post.Bid.Ship. CEO Jarret Hamstreet.
“Herb has spent his entire career working at large trucking companies and selling trucking services to the very largest shippers,” he continued.
Having served as the executive vice president of Con-way Inc. and president of Con-way Truckload from 2007 to 2012, Schmidt retired from the company in September of 2012.
Prior to the merger of Contract Freighters (CFI) with Con-way Inc. in 2007, Schmidt held positions at CFI as president and CEO, and prior to that, senior vice president of operations and sales. Schmidt has also served on a number of associations including the Truckload Carriers Association Safety Council as president and the Professional Truck Driving Institute of America as chairman.
“The Post.Bid.Ship. platform has a lot of legs. It is truly taking the carrier-shipper relationship to the next level by supplying a list of pre-screened options to get the job done – its dynamic capabilities provide a win-win solution for all,” Schmidt noted.
Post.Bid.Ship.’s platform is designed to help brokers, shippers and carriers save money and time through an automated, Web-based technology that communicates and sells truck space in real time.
Post.Bid.Ship. currently counts as members six of the largest 10 trucking companies in the United States.
