Trusted Industry Leader Recommendations

Ken Eggen is a true leader with the ability to effect positive change in any organization.  

Ken joined me as a maintenance consultant, during a difficult downsizing event at Rich Logistics and immediately helped to stabilize the business, improve accountability and improve our overall culture.  Ken’s experience, even beyond his maintenance knowledge, was critical in leading our team through our continuous improvement program.  His work ethic and dedication served as a great example for our young team and his mentoring of our staff kept them engaged in the process to turn the company around.

Ken’s maintenance knowledge is second to none.  He immediately identified inefficiencies, lack of cost controls and poor maintenance practices, quickly developing and implementing new processes across the entire maintenance department.  Within months, maintenance costs stabilized and became more predictable for budgeting and forecasting.  

Ken’s trucking background and years of operational experience was also evident, as he often assisted the team with benchmarking key metrics and KPIs.  His all-around trucking knowledge was a great resource for me, at times and I greatly appreciate his efforts and commitment to Rich Logistics.  

It is with the highest regard, that I would recommend Ken Eggen for his leadership, professionalism, experience and industry knowledge.

I have known and worked with Ken for the last 4 years in a number of different roles. Ken’s knowledge of asset lifecycle management is deep and his understanding of the maintenance lifecycle in particular is significant.   Ken worked with me during a cycle in which we were downsizing a significant amount of asset equipment and his assistance helped support meeting our targets for costs and timelines.   I currently work with Ken’s team with our business to help support 24/7 breakdown management AND scheduled maintenance for a growing lease fleet.   This function is a critical part of our offerings and must be managed seamlessly.  Ken has consistently provided solutions that work for our business and has been an excellent partner.  I would strongly recommend Ken’s business for anyone looking to support their fleet maintenance approach.

I've worked with Ken for several years in the truck industry, both in customer and collaborator capacity. Ken is as sharp as they come on the fixed operations and maintenance end of the business.

If you're looking for any type of expertise in service and operations, Ken is by far the best.

Ken has vast knowledge of our industry and knows which processes work and which don't.  He is quick to identify deficiencies and provide solutions that will provide long term success to bring a fleet's costs inline and keep them there.  His work on both sides of the fleet / supplier fence has provided new insights to our networking group that helps us all understand each perspective.  Most of all, Ken is generous in his ability to share what he knows, what he's learned and provide data to back up his recommendations.

I have known Ken for 24+ years and always found him one of the most knowledgeable and honorable trucking leaders I have known.  I have worked with every top 10 fleet in the US and none of their people were as knowledgeable as him. 

I had the privilege of working closely with Ken Eggen during his time as Chief Operating Officer at Jones Logistics. Ken ran an asset-based trucking team with over 600 employees and 500 power units, serving Fortune 500 clients. What stood out to me was Ken’s clear passion for the industry and his unwavering focus on what his customers needed.

I am writing this letter to wholeheartedly recommend Kenneth Eggen any consultative role that may be offered.

Ken served as a key executive at several large, national transportation and logistics firms.  Ken and I have worked closely together in the past and during all his tenures that I was associated with him, he not only displayed and exhibited exemplary leadership, strategic prowess but also an unwavering dedication to achieving organizational objectives.

Ken’s capacity to integrate business processes and KPI’s across multiple verticals was pivotal in driving our company accomplishments.

Ken embodies the qualities of vision, dedication and the ability to execute complex initiatives with foresight and remarkable precision. His leadership, innovative thinking and performance set him apart and positively impacted on our Operations team and Corporate offices’ success. Ken maintains exceptional communication skills, whether with team members, clients or stakeholders through both written processes and verbal direction.

I am confident that Ken will thrive in any high level executive consultative role he assumes. His relentless pursuit of excellence and unwavering commitment to success makes him an invaluable asset to any organization. I unreservedly endorse Ken and believe he will bring significant and effectual contributions to your organization and team.

Ken is a seasoned executive with a remarkable ability to adapt and connect in ever-changing situations. Having known Ken for over 20 years, I have consistently observed his professionalism, respect for others, and openness to innovation. As a vendor calling on Ken, he demonstrated a genuine commitment to building strong relationships and embracing new technologies, which has always set him apart as a trusted and forward-thinking person. 

I’ve known Ken for 20 years and worked with him through TMC as well as national parts and service maintenance support programs with dealerships and providers. Ken would be an asset to any organization wanting a professional that knows and understands the industry, builds solid teams and someone that values relationships. 

Ken has creative solutions that not only impact maintenance but all areas of the organization.  He works extremely well with other departments to ensure positive results and provides facts that consistently reflect materialized results.
