Jeff Greer

“Diversity has got to be a key component of how we move forward in the trucking industry.”

Senior Vice President of Human Resources
FedEx Freight Corporation

WHAT MADE YOU PURSUE A CAREER IN THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY?
An attorney by trade, I first started working for the FedEx organization over 21 years ago and have since transitioned from law into my current role in HR. Prior to joining FedEx, I worked for the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency. I think of my career change as a “natural evolution”. My work for the government was the precursor to my interest in everything in logistics.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT THE INDUSTRY?
I enjoy working for the trucking industry. Trucking touches almost every aspect of American life. We know that every single day we are making a difference. It’s nice to be part of a function that has such a vast impact.

WHAT DOES DIVERSITY MEAN TO YOU?
Diversity is the concept of having different people from different backgrounds and adds elements of success to your industry. Diversity has got to be a key component of how we move forward in the trucking industry. We have got to make sure we are as diverse as the rest of America: that we mirror society as a whole.
