At MyGroundForce, strategic partnerships embody the wisdom of the adage: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” This principle was vividly illustrated at the “Slicker Trucking Annual Meeting”.
Our mission: To foster stronger collaboration, empower both MyGroundForce and Slicker Trucking LineHaul teams, and co-develop strategic plans for Driver Management, Operations Management, Maintenance, and Transportation Service Partner Agreement Compliance.
Here’s what made the day remarkable:
Diverse Participation: Over 200 attendees from both companies brought a wealth of expertise to the event. Slicker Trucking gathered employees from across the Midwest and East Coast, while MyGroundForce contributed our user experts.
Engaging Sessions:
A Strategic and Inspirational Presentation, delivered by Amy Byers – Chief Operations Officer of Slicker Trucking, set the tone for the day by outlining the company’s objectives and strategic direction, emphasizing the paramount importance of integrity. She underscored the significance of integrity in achieving the goals, not just as a company but as individuals within a larger community. Her clear vision and dedication to business principles inspired all of us to reflect on our own roles and contributions to our joint success. The event was more than just a presentation—it was an opportunity for employees from various departments and divisions to bond, get to know each other better, and empower them to act with integrity, fostering a more cohesive and reliable team.
In a heartfelt moment, Amy shared her personal journey to becoming the COO of Slicker Trucking. Her story was not just about her professional achievements but also about the challenges and triumphs she encountered along the way. Amy’s narrative was a beautiful testament to resilience, determination, and the unwavering commitment to her values.
Expert presentations by the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MyGroundForce – Tim Goff, provided invaluable insights into how we can achieve greater success together. Compliance alignment sessions facilitated meaningful discussions and actionable next steps to optimize and streamline our processes.
Exploring Robotrax: Attendees enjoyed an end-to-end tour of our cutting-edge ROBOTRAX system, which maintains complete situational awareness of all Line Haul activity. With automatic dispatching in the mygroundforce® TMS upon departure from or arrival at any FEDEX, Customer Spot, or Meet/Butthead location, every dispatch is logged in a comprehensive trip summary report. Detailed operations information is accessible simply by hovering the cursor over the map symbology, and operations personnel are notified by text of every dispatch, requiring no driver participation.
Community Impact: The day concluded with MyGroundForce stepping in as the biggest sponsor for 30 Hearts, a nonprofit dedicated to helping orphaned and vulnerable children grow up in safe, loving families.
The Outcome: We’re already witnessing the impact—a more united go-to-market story with our customers and exciting, partner-specific next steps. This event perfectly demonstrates the power of partnership—a journey that transcends individual speed and leads to collective achievement.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who traveled to Canton, Ohio for this event! Your commitment to collaboration and partnership is inspiring. Special shout-out to Amy Byers – COO of the Slicker Trucking for betting big on this partnership.
Let’s continue to build on this momentum together!
