Top Dispatch Veteran Joins Chicago Operations for Calhoun Truck Lines

/in /by

Independent intermodal trucking company Calhoun Truck Lines is proud to announce the addition of a dispatch operation veteran to help guide its Chicago operations.

Enrique Segoviano is a dispatch operation veteran with many years in the industry, Segoviano has worked for companies like Proficient Transport and others in the Chicago area.   


Delivering intermodal cargo in the Midwest, it’s important that Calhoun Truck Lines found a local candidate for the role. And after a long search for the right candidate, we are thrilled to find and hire Enrique. We’re very excited for this upgrade at dispatch in our Chicago market!  

Enrique has strong intermodal dispatch experience in the Chicago market and we look forward to growing our terminal with his expertise and support.  Aside from being a skilled dispatcher, Enrique is an avid Chicago sports fan.  He strongly supports the Bulls and enjoys playing basketball when he’s not working or hanging out with his family.  

“I’m thrilled to have Enrique on our team”, said Calhoun president, Brent Bois. “Debbie Torres has been running our Chicago intermodal terminal for many years and we’ve always struggled to find the proper support to help her grow the terminal.  I feel that Enrique is the right man for the job, helping to provide a solution to that issue and I look forward to helping him succeed with our company”, Bois added.  

Segoviano’s appointment helps Calhoun Truck Lines maintain its growth role in the Midwest trucking and intermodal operations. It’s a solid company that can bring great talent onboard in the intermodal market place.  Recently, we’ve found two talented individuals (Dennis Figgins and Enrique Segoviano) to improve the quality of our organization. Both Segoviano and Figgins understand the importance of the relationship between our company and the independent contractors that haul our freight. In addition, they have the respect of our customers and know how to provide the type of service they expect.  

To all our readers of our Calhoun Truck Lines blog, help us in welcoming Enrique Segoviano to our Midwest Intermodal trucking team!

Calhoun Truck Lines President Speaks on MPR

Calhoun Truck Lines president Brent Bois recently spoke to Minnesota Public Radio’s Economic Lookouts on the Public Insight Network about how Calhoun Truck Lines is recovering from the economic downturn. Calhoun Truck Lines, like many other companies, became “leaner” during the recession by having to lay off some employees, however they have recently began hiring as well as adding a new location in Indianapolis.

Trucking is a highly regulated industry and while Bois is in favor of effective regulation, such as Compliance Safety and Accountabilty, which has changed the company for the better and made them a safe fleet, he does say there are some regulations that can be reformed. Additionally there are about 10 different agencies regulating the trucking industry which can pose challenges. 

Bois says that moreso than any regulations, the a lack of drivers due to the recession hurt the industry by losing about 225,000 trucks.

We’ve been telling you about it for a little while now, but now it’s official. We’re Calhoun Truck Lines, your leading Midwest provider of intermodal trucking services.  As of June 1st, 2012 we began doing business as Calhoun Truck Lines and we’re excited about moving forward as one of the leading Midwest intermodal trucking companies.  

We’re excited about our name change to Calhoun Truck Lines. There had been a growing confusion among our customers that a trucking competitor with a similar name was connected somehow to our business. Changing our name and rebranding our company has not been easy, but was necessaintermodal trucking company Calhoun Truck Linesry to minimize confusion with our customers and drivers.  

Calhoun Truck Lines was named in part after Calhoun Lake, the well-known lake in the Minneapolis, MN region. We’ve notified our customers with the news of our name change, we’re updating the signs on our trucks and we’re doing our best to stand out more in our marketplace.  

By updating our name and web site, Calhoun Truck Lines can now move forward with minimal customer confusion, and continue to provide the best service we can under a new identity. Thankfully, we’ve received positive feedback from our customers, who share the excitement about our new identity.  

In the intermodal trucking business, there are occasions when company names can be misleading or get in the way of business relationships. And for those of us working in international freight, we’re aware of that. It’s almost like managing a complicated logistics issue. Calhoun Truck Lines will still provide intermodal trucking services throughout the Midwest from our four trucking operations in Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Omaha. Each operation is fully equipped to handle large intermodal trucking needs.  

Calhoun Truck Lines is certified to run in all 48 states with a regional focus in MI, OH, IN, IL, WI, IN, MI, IA, MN, WI, ND, SD, NE, IA, MO, KS. It will operate as the same company, with the same ownership and same great service, just a different name.  For more information, contact Calhoun Truck Lines at www.calhountrucklines.com or call customer service at one of the four Calhoun Truck Lines locations.
