Naomi joined the J.B. Hunt team in January of 2013 as an Operations Supervisor for the Toyota account in Owensboro, KY. After four months of stellar performance, she accepted the role of Logistics Coordinator where she was regularly received nods from Toyota. In June 2013, Naomi was formally recognized by Toyota as an integral part of the winning JB Hunt DCS Kaizen Challenge team and eventually took over all duties related to this Kaizen. The “Obvious Oversized Oversight” project resulted in lower cost, shorter lead-time, and improved customer service in transporting service frames to Toyota dealerships.
In December 2013, Naomi was promoted to the account manager role over the Toyota Hebron, KY location. In this role, she acted as a customer liaison between Toyota and the JBI/JBT divisions monitoring over 800 loads monthly in addition to managing the 7 Driver DCS Milk Run Fleet. Again, her performance was topnotch. Throughout her tenure, there were outstanding improvements in all key metrics. Notable categories include, but were not limited to: Safety, Customer Service, and overall Profits. Naomi and the Hebron, KY driver team received 2014 Risk Management Account of the Year honors at this year's regional kickoff meeting.
Naomi arrived at J.B. Hunt with 8 years of prior experience in logistics. She began her career in transportation with Watkins Motor Lines taking advantage of their tuition reimbursement program where she performed various duties related to dispatch, OS&D, billing, and contractor payroll. After FedEx purchased Watkins, Naomi then accepted a position with Averitt Express and spent the next five years in various support roles while she completed her Masters degree in Human Resources.
Since being part of the JB Hunt team, Naomi has also completed Toyota Kaizen carrier training and the Leaders 201 program.
Let's all congratulate Naomi on her promotion and wish her continued success.
