Meet Lynn Rogers, Driver Manager at terminal 151 and this week’s QC Women Wednesday highlight. Lynn started her career in trucking as a temporary assistant to a plant manager and transitioned to dispatch dry ice shipments. Later on, she joined QC by working with an affiliate and has been with us for over nine years. Lynn enjoys working with our professional drivers knowing that they are equipped with what they need to successfully perform their jobs, operate safely, and are content, which is what really makes the job worth it to Lynn. The terminal has a great group of drivers. If they see that Lynn is not having a good day they will try to make her smile or laugh just to make it better, and Lynn does the same for our drivers. Her most memorable moment working for QC was last year decorating the office for Christmas and seeing the drivers faces when they came in. Lynn, thank you for all you do for QC and our drivers!

Since she was little, J'Sona Hosch had her eyes glued to the big rigs rolling down the highways. At 23, she decided to shift her dream into high gear and climb into the driver's seat of her future. Starting in dry vans seemed like the right lane initially, but J'Sona knew it wasn't her final destination. J’Sona drove straight into entrepreneurship with the founding of J'Ream Diesel Transport LLC after just four short months at Quality Carriers. Her mom always said to chase her "J’Reams," and that’s exactly what she did. With the QC’s Lease Purchase Program, she found the freedom and flexibility that matched her entrepreneurial spirit. Join us in congratulating J'Sona on her incredible journey so far with QC’s Lease Purchase Program! She's living proof that anything is possible when you're driven by passion.
