She holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington and began her career as an IT professional as a developer with Boeing and then with Security Pacific Bank.
“We are excited to have Kim join the leadership team here at USA Truck. She has an impressive track record of delivering superior results, and does so with a high degree of employee engagement,” said Jason Bates, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Her attention to detail and cross-functional project prioritization experience will greatly enhance our efforts to position USA Truck as a premier provider of transportation capacity solutions.”
