DRIVER MANAGER SPOTLIGHT: MEET Tony Hoffman

Hello WPR truck driving family!   

I just wanted to tell you a little bit about myself which most of you have heard this if you have gone through orientation as a new driver.   To tell you a little bit about myself I have resided in South Carolina all my life.  I have 3 kids; 2 boys and 1 girl. I also have a lovely lady named Courtney that I have had by my side for over 18 years Lord help her!    

My career in the Transportation Industry started in dispatch for a privately owned steel company named Consolidated Systems Inc. located in Columbia , S.C. I worked there for over 23 years starting in production planning for 3 years then moving to transportation for over 20 years.  I left the steel industry around 2012 and went to work as a driver manager / planning coordinator for Charleston Aluminum in Gaston, SC.   Charleston Aluminum delivered aluminum products sheets and billets for government contracts and for ThyessenKrupp all over the US and Canada.  Deliveries ranged in size from 50 lbs to 47000lbs.    

In 2015, I started at WP Rawl as a production planner for our Fresh Cut processing and soon moved to transportation and have been here ever since! 

My hobbies include baseball, hunting, fishing and sipping a cold one by the pool!!
