Women In Trucking Association Names Sherri Squier November Member of the Month
Women In Trucking Association (WIT) has announced Sherri Squier as its November Member of the Month.
Having begun her career as a nurse, Squier gained an immediate life or death understanding the urgency of the word “stat.”
Moving forward a few years while managing critical care deliveries on behalf of her patients, she quickly realized the same sense of urgency wasn’t often shared by the courier companies she engaged.
With a dissatisfaction for the service she was experiencing, she did what every other entrepreneurial working woman with no time to waste would do, she started her own delivery company. “When we started All-State Express, the initial vision was to provide superior service to several major medical facilities within the Triad Region of North Carolina. Quickly word of mouth spread and we were soon the largest medical courier business within the region,” noted Squier.
After successfully building the medical courier business, around the turn of the century, Squier and her husband Spencer, expanded their company into the emerging expedite industry.
The same sense of urgency that drove the medical courier business to success also fostered success within the expedite industry. “We didn’t know that much about the automotive industry or just-in-time inventory management, but we knew how to schedule and manage critical transportation shipments.”
