Chuck Moyer, the Power of Faith and Relationships
That was the reaction of a stunned Chuck Moyer as he took the stage to acknowledge his induction into the CLDA Hall of Fame. The 2024 Hall of Fame honoree was introduced to those at the Final Mile Forum by incoming president Joel Pinsky.
“This man has gone above and beyond for years for the CLDA and has dedicated over 40 years to the last mile. I love getting his perspective on our industry,” said Pinsky.
Those 40+ years have been quite a ride for Moyer. It was a ride that he says has been shaped by “The importance of family, mentors, giving back, and the power of faith, and relationships with those you respect.”
Moyer is currently the president of Task4Pros. The Tennessee-based company provides on-demand labor solutions to the logistics industry. He joined what was then the Messenger & Courier Association of America (now the CLDA) in the late 1980s and served as its president from 2018 to 2020. He has chaired or been a member of just about every committee the association has to offer.
Moyer’s 47-year career in the industry mirrors its changes. He started in logistics right out of college when he joined a regional trucking company. He did everything from warehouse operations to driving to coordinating routes. Later, he moved into air freight, where he worked for a third-party provider that handled American Airlines. He then moved into the last mile working for one of the founders of the MCAA, Dick Thomas, at Priority Dispatch in Ohio. He started as an IC driver and, eighteen months later, moved into the office as a dispatcher. He worked his way up to Senior Operations Manager, running the company’s largest facility and overseeing others. Moyer next moved to Express Courier International in Memphis, where he ultimately became their CEO, playing a key role in taking them through two exits with private equity. He left the company two years after the company became LSO Final Mile. When he left there, he consulted for others in the industry until joining Pace in 2017 as their president. He went back into consulting until he was approached by Task4Pros in 2022 to become the president of their U.S. / North American division.
Support and Encouragement That Paved the Way
Moyer acknowledges those who have made his journey to the award possible. “My wife Pam and sons Adam, Jason and Nicholas have played key roles in my career,” he says. “I also have to acknowledge Dick Thomas, founder of Priority Dispatch, Joe Bankemper and David Temple of Express Courier International and many MCAA/CLDA and industry leaders.”
He said the award is a testament to everything he holds dear. “This Hall of Fame Award validates what anyone can do through hard work, giving back, having faith, good mentors, and having family and friends who support and encourage them in their careers and life’s journey.”
He expressed humility at joining other Hall of Fame honorees. “I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with many of the Hall of Fame members, and I consider them friends,” he said. “Becoming a member of this group is an award bigger than me. I’m honored to be a member of this elite group that has given so much to the industry and the association. Their leadership, vision, support and friendship have meant so much to me and the industry.”
