“Ben has over 17 years of industry experience, 10 of which have been with ALC. He was promoted to assistant general manager in 2017 and, while in that role, continued to sell and helped the office’s load count grow while supporting and guiding the entire operations team,” Tracey Lewin, vice president of sales and operations, said in the release. “With Ben’s experience and knowledge, tenacity, and motivation to grow, we have big expectations and are excited to see all the ways in which the Madison office will continue to expand under his leadership. I look forward to working more closely with Ben, and we welcome him to the entire GM team.”

“Throughout my 10 years with ALC, the company’s commitment to integrity, candor and hard work for both shippers and carriers has stood out to me,” he said in the release. “I look forward to continuing that tradition in Madison and moving the office forward. I have the pleasure to lead an experienced team in Madison and we are excited to share that knowledge with our shippers, our core carriers and ALC.”
