Allen Lund Company welcomes Derek Johnson to the new position of Manager of Carrier Development.

Derek comes to ALC with more than 12 years of experience in logistics. He spent the past 7 years with Coca-Cola as a transportation manager, overseeing the central region of the United States. While there, he handled everything from supplier and vendor negotiations, to broker relationships, to cost-savings special projects.

Bob Rose, VP of National Sales commented, “We are fortunate to have Derek Johnson join our Allen Lund family. After meeting Derek, it’s clear that he is the perfect fit in both his personality and drive to help our growing customer needs. He will not need it, but we wish him the best of luck in this new position.”

Derek added, “I’ve worked with Allen Lund Company for some time now, and I’ve always admired the company culture from afar. After interviewing with several members of the team and speaking in-depth with Bob about the opportunity, I knew this role would be a great fit. I’m excited to see what we can accomplish together and to call Allen Lund my career home for many years to come.”
