Index Fresh has hired Abdoulie “Abdul” Jobe in the new position of logistics manager.
Jobe has 23 years of experience in supply chain, logistics and distribution management roles for companies including El Pollo Loco and Carl’s Jr., according to a news release.
“The knowledge he has gained over the years in distribution management will prove invaluable for Index Fresh as he begins to reshape our transportation department, Vice President of Sales Todd Elder said in the release.
The company is now equipping trucks with a tracking system to provide location/temperature monitoring to provide real-time date to customers about orders, according to the release.
Other changes are coming as well.
“We’re also expanding our carrier network to not only include our current brokerage firms, but to blend in active base carriers as well,” Elder said in the release. “This will enable us to have the most competitive freight rates for our customers and expand our outreach to other geographical areas that we don’t currently service.”
