BIR Transport Company

05/05/2026

Last week, we had the pleasure of celebrating John’s impressive 14-year career as a CDL driver with BIR Transport Company, a journey marked by dedication, reliability, and probably a few stories best left off the official record.

John, thank you for your years of hard work and commitment. Wishing you a retirement filled with tight lines, calm waters, and absolutely no dispatch calls. Enjoy every minute of your fishing time; you’ve more than earned it.

Our Accounting Department is growing!

Please join us in welcoming Sydney Odom, the newest addition to our Accounting team. Sydney brings a strong background in retail management and accounting, along with a genuine passion for numbers.

In her retail management days, Sydney was the person you called when a spreadsheet needed to be built, fixed, or saved at the last minute. “Spreadsheet Queen” feels like a fair title.

Sydney also has experience with chargebacks, P&Ls, and budgeting, so she is more than ready to hit the ground running.

Sydney, welcome to the team! We are excited to have you on board and look forward to seeing your Excel expertise in action.

Another Great Addition to Our Journey!

Meet Arlie Sandusky, our newest Dump Truck Operator.

With years of driving experience under his belt, Arlie can handle just about anything, dump trucks, heavy equipment, even a dry van without breaking a sweat. He says he’s been driving since he can remember, so it’s safe to say this isn’t his first rodeo… or haul.

He’s ready to roll out, and we’re excited to have him keeping both our wheels and our projects turning.
