About Mark Shaver

I am the Chief Operating Officer of The National Transportation Institute. Prior to joining NTI, I spent 20 years in Operations and Sales with trucking companies that operated TL and LTL fleets nationwide. Having coined phrases such as “fill the bucket” to increase customer volume and “load them where they land” to increase loaded miles and to reduce deadhead, I am described by colleagues as someone whose expertise for transportation and logistics augments a culture that inspires creative and strategic freedom, profitability, employee growth, public safety, management of expenses and job satisfaction. Currently, I am accountable for the development, implementation, and strategic framework for all of The National Transportation Institute\'s research and economic studies. Interests: Avid Golfer, Kansas City Style Barbecue, Amateur Guitar Player and Fisherman
