  • Lone Star Transportation: Delivering More Than Freight—Delivering Hope At Lone Star Transportation, we do more than move oversized loads—we aim to be a vessel for change in the communities we serve. This quarter, we put that mission into motion by supporting SafeHaven of Tarrant County, an organization dedicated to providing shelter and resources for women and children escaping domestic violence. To help lighten the load for those in need, our team came together and donated three full wagons of essential items—from clothing to household goods—helping families take their first steps toward a new beginning. Just like every haul we take on, we know the journey is easier when people have the right support. SafeHaven’s work transforms lives, and as a company rooted in Fort Worth, we’re honored to give back locally. A huge THANK YOU to our incredible team for showing that generosity and compassion are just as important as the miles we drive. Want to be part of the impact? Consider donating or learning more about how you can support SafeHaven: https://lnkd.in/eHT-gZg4 #DrivenToGive #LoneStarCares #DeliveringHope #SafeHaven #CommunityFirst #MakingADifference #FortWorth

  • ✅ Retention That Drives Success At Lone Star Transportation, we take pride in fostering a supportive environment where drivers feel valued from day one. One of our drivers recently shared their experience, highlighting the difference our team makes: "I won’t hit my one-year mark until May, but from the start, I’ve been treated like I’ve been here for years. When I lost my license right after starting, the office team made sure I got home and back on the road within a week. Now, as my spouse is hospitalized for treatment, they’ve given me two weeks off without hesitation—something no other company I’ve worked for has ever done. I’m grateful for the support and look forward to getting back to work as soon as this is behind me." This is why our retention rate stands above competitors. It’s the little things—the support, understanding, and communication—that create an environment where our drivers feel valued. #LoneStarTransportation #DriverRetention #SupportMatters

    This month, we take time to reflect on the remarkable contributions of Black innovators and trailblazers who have shaped our world and industry, including Frederick McKinley Jones. Jones held over 60 patents, with his most notable being for portable refrigeration units in trucks—an invention that revolutionized the transportation of perishable goods. His mobile refrigeration units were crucial during WWII, preserving blood, medicine, and food. In 1991, Jones became the first African American to receive the National Medal of Technology, leaving a lasting legacy of innovation and progress. His groundbreaking work continues to inspire advancements in transportation and beyond. #BlackHistoryMonth #Transportation #Scientist ***************************************************************************** Ce mois-ci, nous prenons le temps de réfléchir aux contributions remarquables des innovateurs et pionniers noirs qui ont façonné notre monde et notre industrie, y compris Frederick McKinley Jones. Jones détenait plus de 60 brevets, le plus notable étant pour les unités de réfrigération portables dans les camions—une invention qui a révolutionné le transport des produits périssables. Ses unités de réfrigération mobiles étaient cruciales pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, préservant le sang, les médicaments et la nourriture. En 1991, Jones est devenu le premier Afro-Américain à recevoir la Médaille nationale de la technologie, laissant un héritage durable d'innovation et de progrès. Son travail révolutionnaire continue d'inspirer des avancées dans le domaine du transport et au-delà. #MoisDeLhistoireDesNoirs #Transport #Scientifique

His expertise, dedication, and support for some of our largest customers have made a lasting impact on our company. Gary’s passion, dependability, and deep knowledge of our business have been critical in shaping Lone Star into the company it is today. As Gary humbly shared: "I’ve been very fortunate to work with some extremely talented individuals that were not afraid to work hard or share their vision of what we could become if we set our minds to it. Success comes easily when you enjoy who you work with and have common goals." Thank you for 35 amazing years, Gary! Your contributions and commitment to Lone Star are truly appreciated. 📸 Pictured is our Gainesville, Texas terminal. #35Years #LoneStarTransportation #EmployeeMilestone #Teamwork #EmployeeAppreciation #Dedication #Leadership
