This episode of the Executive Broadcast Channel features Kelly A. Burdett, President and Owner of Cassidy’s Transport, Inc. She began working for her sister’s freight brokerage company in 1996, but after her sister passed away, Burdett decided she wanted to carry on and started her own company. As a certified transportation broker, she arranges, or offers to arrange, the transportation of property by an authorized motor carrier. She also oversees daily operations, accounting, payroll, sales, and marketing, and works on loads as a dispatcher when necessary. “I love the freedom of being my own boss,” Burdett said. “I also love being able to provide jobs in my area, bettering the community.” Burdett has been working diligently for the past two years building her organization to become outstanding in the field and providing employment opportunities that offer personal and professional growth.
