In her new role, Dellinger will oversee all driver recruiting and retention and marketing activities for the company.
“I am excited to be back in the recruiting arena and look forward to continuing to build on Cargo Transporters’ reputation for offering a solid, competitive employment package to its drivers,” Dellinger said. “But it goes beyond that because at Cargo Transporters, our culture sets us apart, and I can’t wait to share how that improves a driver’s everyday work life.”

Dellinger has also served as the chairman of the Truckload Carriers Association Recruiting and Retention HR Committee.
“Shelley Dellinger brings a wealth of experience to her new position, and we look forward to her leadership as our Director of Recruiting and Marketing,” said Jerry Sigmon Jr., Chief Operating Officer at Cargo Transporters. “Not only has she always been a strong advocate for drivers and wants everyone to succeed, her years of experience in operations, recruiting and marketing, along with her passion for the industry, will be a great addition to our recruiting department.”
