Celebrating The Unsung Heroes of UniGroup

As a global leader in transportation and logistics, we leverage numbers, data and statistics to ensure our customers get what they need, when they need it.  But van operators bring other important qualities that aren’t always captured by a performance metric or on a spreadsheet: teamwork, enthusiasm, professionalism, dedication and pride in a job well done. 

They are the face of both our Mayflower and United Van Lines brands, true heroes of the road whose skill and dedication keep the wheels of commerce turning. Take a bow – you deserve the spotlight!

All week long the UniGroup corporate team will be calling drivers to give them a special message of thanks. Drivers who stop by our home office will also receive care packages with items donated by UniGroup and other sponsors.

It’s our way of letting drivers know how much they’re appreciated during this special week – and every week of the year. 

2023 Van Operator of the Year Awards 

Meet two of the award-winning Van Operators who keep us moving forward day after day.

Rick Pittman Mayflower’s Van Operator of the Year for Logistics

Richard joined the trucking industry just five years ago. “My motivation while I’m on the road is to provide good service, be punctual and never turn down a load because I am the face of Mayflower Logistics.”

Jim Mack United Van  Lines Van Operator of the Year for Logistics 

With over 40  years in  the  trucking industry, Mack still  finds pleasure in  working hard and  getting the  job  done. “My desire to work hard, be on time and the legacy of the years I served in this industry is my motivation while I’m on the road.”
