Stoiber to steer produce transportation at LMTS
Doug Stoiber has been named vice president of produce transportation operations for L&M Transportation Services Inc., headquartered in Raleigh, NC. Mike Devine, president of LMTS, announced the appointment Feb. 5. LMTS is a division of L&M Cos.
Mr. Stoiber, a 25-year veteran of the produce industry, joined LMTS in November 2004 as director of business development.
LMTS is a third-party logistics company that manages refrigerated and dry freight logistics across the United States.
"My goals for this year are to grow our business by marketing our services aggressively in the sector of the industry we serve," Mr. Stoiber said Feb. 6. LMTS will also take "innovative approaches to customers ... who don't always need full truckload transportation," he said, adding that solutions will focus on offering a way to have regular movement on less-than-truckload freight with "rates and a frequency they can count on."
Mr. Stoiber is responsible for all produce transportation out of Raleigh as well as the regional offices in Visalia, CA, Selah, WA, Nogales, AZ, St. Augustine, FL, and Collins, GA. In addition to its produce freight division, LMTS has a dry-freight division. Tom Devine is vice president of dry freight operations.
Before joining LMTS, Mr. Stoiber was with U.S. Food Services, which is headquartered in Chicago, for seven-and-a-half years. His last position there was regional produce marketing director, responsible for the entire Eastern Seaboard.
Mr. Stoiber earned a bachelor of science degree in education from Youngstown State University in Ohio. "I taught for one year, then got into the hospitality industry and then into foodservice," he said of his transition to the produce trade. He is a certified transportation broker under the auspices of the Transportation Intermediaries Association.
He was a member of the Produce Marketing Association's produce transportation logistics task force that produced an October 2006 white paper on truck transportation best practices. More recently, he served on a PMA panel on produce transportation and at last fall's Southeast Produce Council's fall meeting on a panel on supply chain management.
Mr. Stoiber lives in Wilson, NC.
