England Logistics welcomed Jason to the Salt Lake City Dry LTL division<\/a> in June 2010. Since then, he has worked his way up to his current position, Senior Account Manager (SAM). Learn more about Jason and his experience at England Logistics!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n During the recession, I was looking for a new job and there was an England building near my house. It wasn\u2019t England Logistics, but it led me to research England Logistics and apply.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I really enjoy the sales focus here. It was nice coming to a company that understands the sales process. The hard work that you put in at EL is recognized and you\u2019re compensated for how hard you work. That really makes a difference.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Accountability means the most to me. Working here, you\u2019re in charge of your own destiny. Even though we\u2019re part of a team, each individual is responsible for their own success. I work as hard as I can each day and am accountable for my own success.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Since I started working at EL, I\u2019ve never put a limit on how successful I\u2019m going to be at my job. After getting let go during the recession, I faced self-doubt. However, once I came to EL I didn\u2019t put a limit on what I could achieve. I wanted to prove everyone wrong and prove to myself that I could be successful.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Succeeding here isn\u2019t rocket science. If you work hard and are willing to build relationships, you\u2019ll be successful. I know details about each of my customers because it\u2019s much easier to ship with a friend than it is to ship with someone that can just give you a good rate. Freight is a livelihood for many people. You need to be willing to come in and work hard to help them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My coworker has a drawer filled with chips that we share.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. We do a lot together, such as camping, hiking and playing ping pong. I also probably watch an unhealthy amount of college football. My son and I love going to University of Utah games.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My favorite TV show to watch is probably \u201cBurn Notice.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At some point my wife and I would like to go on a European vacation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The biggest thing that inspires me is my family. They make me want to do well and be someone that they can look up to and rely on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Personally, it\u2019s being a father. I have three kids. Professionally, it\u2019s really starting at EL. I started when the Dry LTL division was new. Being able to help build it up and get where I am today is something I\u2019m proud of.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Although it\u2019s not a training program, I enjoyed working my way up to Senior Account Manager (SAM). This advancement wasn\u2019t available when I started at EL. Once they began offering SAM positions, I worked hard to achieve it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Interested in working with Jason and the rest of our amazing team?
