Today, Hackbarth has over 745 drivers providing service to a diverse client base, delivering more than 50,000 packages daily. Hackbarth named daughter, Kelly Picard, to take over as CEO in 2013, and embarked on a new career as an author and public speaker.

He is the founder of Mondays Are Great, a company that provides motivational, inspirational, and team-leadership presentations and training, in addition to personal coaching and development.

He is also actively involved in Hackbarth Delivery Service as a trainer and board member.

“Becoming a member of the CLDA Hall of Fame is very special to me,” says Hackbarth. “It’s recognition by my peers in the industry. I firmly believe that it’s also a reflection of our company’s success and our involvement in the industry and active participation in the association.” Hackbarth has been a part of the association for much of its 30-year history, serving on the Executive Committee and Board of Directors; chairing the association’s Government Affairs Committee and serving on the Membership Committee. The company’s current president, Kelly Picard, is now a board member of the CLDA.

In presenting the award, Hall of Fame Committee Chair Gil Carpel described Hackbarth this way: “This CLDA Hall of Fame induction ceremony gives us an opportunity to pause and reflect back on how far we’ve come and to acknowledge those who came before. History shows that one dedicated individual can change the world and that is the purpose and motive behind our Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame recognizes the men and women who have made a difference for all of us in our industry. It is on their shoulders that we stand to see a little further.”
