Announcing Trailer Bridge’s 2023 President’s Award Honorees
Trailer Bridge is proud to announce this year’s President’s Award Recipients:
- Ruben Montero, Truck Operations Team Lead
- Jason Angell, Strategic Accounts Manager
- Kari Gomez, Logistics Administrator, NVOCC & Compliance, Trailer Bridge International
Each year, the President’s Award is presented to three exceptional individuals from Trailer Bridge who embody the company’s culture of love and kindness in every interaction, from customers to colleagues.
This tradition was started by Trailer Bridge CEO Mitch Luciano in 2015, who hand-picks the winners based on his interactions with them throughout the year and recommendations from others. The characteristics required of those considered for the distinction can be summed up in 3 words: honesty, integrity, and respect.
As one of the highest honors in the company, it is important to Mitch that the qualifications for this award are based on merit and character, rather than work performance as is the case with many other places. This is because he believes that the character of Trailer Bridge’s people is the most impactful factor in moving the company forward.
One winner is chosen from each of Trailer Bridge’s 3 major divisions: Ocean, Logistics, and Puerto Rico. Below, each winner reflects on what the President’s Award means to them.
