Results of the Sixth Annual Professional Freight Handlers Competition Are In

Terry Collenbaugh, a freight handling professional/driver account specialist from Indianapolis, Indiana, was named Grand Champion at the 6th Annual Roadway Professional Freight Handlers Competition (PFHC).

Alphonso Lewis, a freight handling professional/driver account specialist from Montgomery, Alabama, received second place.

Handling 3,100 pounds of freight an hour, 24,800 pounds in an eight-hour shift—this is a day in the life of a Roadway professional freight handler.

Sometimes the least visible members of the freight-handling team but not the least important, these dedicated employees move shipments safely, move it efficiently, and load it to ride from pick-up through to delivery. To do this, they need skill, knowledge, and a dedication to safety.
