"If you don't have maintenance, you're not going nowhere regardless of what you have. Maintenance provides the fuel, the food, the equipment, and the mobility." David Seitz learned that truth during his 25 years in the U.S. Army, most of which were spent in maintenance repair organization (MRO) leadership.
After retiring from active duty, the combat veteran worked for the Oshkosh Corporation in Afghanistan; once stateside, he focused largely on fleet management. These days, he's leading the maintenance operation of one of the fastest growing less-than-truckload (LTL) freight carriers in the nation, Roadrunner Transportation Systems.
"I came to Roadrunner for the challenge and to make a difference in the maintenance program with the knowledge that I've gained throughout my years," Seitz said. As Roadrunner's Director of Maintenance, he leads the charge in ensuring that their national carrier fleet operates at peak safety and delivers superior technical performance.
Reorganizing and restructuring Roadrunner’s Rapid Response Team was an immediate undertaking. “The rapid response team is dedicated to providing 24-hour support to the drivers on the road for dispatches, fuel, breakdowns – anything and everything that they may need,” he said. “Now they’ll be able to have maintenance help them 24/7.”
With headquarters in Downers Grove, Ill., and terminals in more than 40 metropolitan markets, Roadrunner offers a full suite of transportation solutions, including customized and expedited LTL, logistics, transportation management solutions including intermodal, as well as freight consolidation, inventory management, expedited services, international freight forwarding, custom brokerage, and comprehensive global supply chain solutions.
