Smith Transport to Add Truck Drivers to Service Walmart Distribution Center 

The Roaring Springs­-based trucking company said the fleet to service this facility will consist of approximately 160 drivers, mostly hired from the local Bedford/Roaring Spring/Altoona area.”The success in bringing this new business into the Smith Transport portfolio goes to a cross functional team of many individuals,” said Smith President Todd Smith. “This was the ultimate team effort, but most importantly this victory belongs to our professional drivers. Drivers are our #1 customer.”

“This new opportunity will help Smith Transport to realize its growth projections for 2018 and beyond,” Smith said. “We know that we have family members, neighbors, friends, and other community members that depend upon this DC for their livelihoods as well as goods to purchase at our local Walmart stores and beyond. This long-term opportunity will be very exciting for our stakeholders as well as the local community.”
