(March 21, 2006 - Dallas) Jim Dunn, a thirty year veteran of the transportation industry has joined Total Transportation Services LLC (TTS) in the capacity of Manager-Business Development. Jim comes to TTS from Frito-Lay, Inc where, over a thirty year period, he has served in a number of transportation management roles and was instrumental in carrier development and dedicated programs for the procurement group.
“Initially, Jim will assist us in the implementation of our potato management program which will start on April 1, and we are counting on his experience and expertise to help us develop programs where we can best serve Frito-Lay now and in the future,” said Andy Cole, president and CEO of TTS.
“We are presently working on a number of creative and innovative programs that will ultimately prove to be beneficial for Frito-Lay and deliver significant productivity gains and Jim will be key in helping us to establish the appropriate platform for these programs that will ensure our success as well as the success of Frito-Lay,” said Cole.
“I am excited to become part of a team that is committed to the success of the customer,” Dunn said. “Having served so many years in a quality organization like Frito-Lay, I have come to expect the best from a supplier and that is one of the most intriguing things that drew me to TTS as I contemplated moving over to the supplier side of the business,”
“The TTS team works to exceed, not simply meet a customer’s expectations and that is a company I want to be associated with," said Dunn.
Dunn will be located in the Plano, Texas headquarters of TTS and will work closely with the corporate operations support group headed up by Jeff Vielhaber, vice president of operations.
“It is a pleasure to have Jim become part of our team and I look forward to learning from him new ways to serve our customers, both internal and external,” said Vielhaber.
