We’re incredibly proud of the phenomenal women that play an integral part in making Full Tilt Logistics an industry leader in warehousing and transportation logistics. As of early 2021, the logistics and supply chain industry is 22 percent women. There are slightly less women in warehouse and distribution roles, at 19 percent. We’re proud to be a women owned business and have women working at every level of our company, from our CEO to our drivers.
Let’s take a look at some of the awesome women at Full Tilt and what their favorite things to do in their spare time are. We love to hear about work-life balance, and we’re constantly impressed by what the women of our company get done!
Jessica N. “I enjoy spending time with my husband who is also my best friend and coworker. My three children are the center of my world: Porter, Paige and Penny. In my down time you can find me doing physical activity or curled up on the couch with my family watching a Marvel or Harry Potter movie.”
Tiffany N. “I love spending time with my husband, Nic and my two children Avrie and Luke. We spend our time skiing, participating in archery, wrestling and hiking. I enjoy a decent spa day once in a while, and I love a good nap. “
Our Chief Financial Officer, Cindy, enjoys being able to travel with her husband, spend time at their home in Graeagle with family and working with her children and in-laws!
Taylor: “I love spending time with my loved ones, whether that’s friends or family. After years of development, I find that being with those who are most supportive in your life can be incredibly grounding. We spend a lot of time eating together, fighting like a family, and lifting each other up. In this photo from left to right, Tatiana, my brother’s girlfriend, my brother Hunter, my mother Lisa and myself, are at an axe throwing bar in Reno celebrating a birthday. When I’m not with them I spend time with my boyfriend JT, and our cat Ermac.”
Mary: “A few things I love to do during my free time include fishing, camping, and traveling the coast to explore all the farmers markets on the way! Something not too many people know about me is that I have a goal to relocate to Thailand for a few years when the time is right!”
Kimberly: “My daughter is my everything. I enjoy crafting. I have been in the trucking industry my entire life.”
Donna E.: “I love the absolute thrill of helping a new customer solve their freight problems. Outside of work, there is no better day than spending it with my family, my grandbabies, my dogs and chickens. A day in the kitchen cooking a big meal for my family is the best day ever.”
Yevette P.: “During my down time, I enjoy painting. Right now, I am working with oils and acrylics. I am still learning, but it makes me happy when I finish a painting. I hope to get much better in time.”
Stephanie M.: “Something interesting about myself and is also something I love is that I am currently 36 turning 37. I met my wonderful, amazing husband Benjamin right after we graduated high school and this year will be our 18th anniversary together and 17 years married. I have been married almost half my life and married my first and only love.”
Taylor B.: “I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease when I was fourteen years old. I spent most of my teenage years in and out of doctors appointments which has made me appreciate the little things a lot more. I like to spend as much time as I can with my loved ones. I enjoy cooking, any outdoor activities, mostly hiking, photography, and spoiling my cat.”
Tamlynn J.: “Aside from diving all over our beautiful country, I am enjoying focusing my time on becoming a healthier “me” by losing weight and living a healthy, holistic lifestyle.”
Felyshia T. “I am a 31-year-old wife, married for 10 years. I am a mother to a crazy, fun loving 9-year-old boy named Rex, a beautiful, artsy 10-year-old girl named Zoee, and a strong, smart 11-year-old boy named Vann. I grew up in foster care before being adopted at 13, and I am a two time cancer survivor.”
Dannielle F. “I love spending time with my dog, Khimera. She always puts a smile on my face.”

Freight logistics costs are on the rise across the nation. Here are several factors contributing to this recent surge.
The recent surge in hurricane activity in Houston, Florida, and Puerto Rico is damaging to supply chain infrastructure. Some areas received over 60 inches of rain, while destructive winds lead to massive flooding, loss of life and destruction. The flooding inundated hundreds of thousands of homes displaced more than 100,000 people and prompted thousands of rescues.
Oil refineries were also negatively affected. This is leading to a shortage of fuel and increased shipping and transportation prices across the United States. The hurricane season isn't over yet. This has lead industry insiders and experts to speculate on overall effects and market fluctuations.
Following the devastation left by Gulf Coast hurricanes, FEMA stepped in and began offering aid and assistance to all affected areas. FEMA's need for equipment, goods and drop off locations resulted in logistical congestion. Full Tilt was amongst many logistics companies called on to truck goods and equipment into the affected areas. This caused FEMA to actually begin utilizing our own trailers.
Some are still waiting for assistance from FEMA and the federal government is still in possession of our trailers. We are working hard to recover our equipment. FEMA's use of our equipment is undoubtedly for a good cause; however, this does impact our business and the business of other dedicated transportation companies.
Carriers became aware of the need for additional trucks and equipment. As a result, some raised their rates by up to 30%. The high demands that the disaster areas placed on freight logistics companies resulted in a shortage of trucks and an overall increase in pricing across the country.
At Full Tilt, we kept our pricing at affordable levels. We choose not to take advantage of shipping rate hikes as a result of the devastation caused by the storms. We treat all parties fairly and with respect and value our long term business relationships. This is more important than capitalizing on a quick buck due to natural disasters. Our philosophy serves us well and contributes to our rapid growth as a company.
As we enter the fourth quarter of the year, the demand for dedicated transportation and trucking services are on the rise. It's the same story every year. However, this year (because of the economic recovery taking place) consumer confidence and associated spending is at an all-time high. As manufacturers are gearing up for what promises to be a robust Christmas season. The forecast is for increased need of dedicated transportation across the country. This places more demands on the freight logistics industry.
Carriers are gearing up for Q4. Right now there is a belief that this year's demand for logistics carriers will outpace supply. Again, the increased demand and limited supply will create upward pressure on delivery pricing. Reliable logistics companies like FULL TILT plan this kind of contingency and have an established network in place to ensure a seamless transition between differing market conditions. We under promise, over deliver and at all times remain transparent with our customers.

Please take a few minutes to find out a little about Full Tilt Logistics and why we are the best logistics partner you will ever have. Full Tilt is a family owned business that believes in doing the right thing. Our culture reflects this in everything we do. We are consistent and transparent and treat all parties fairly, honestly and with dignity.
Full Tilt was founded by a third-generation Nevada native to address the poor levels of customer service he encountered daily in the four previous logistics companies he worked with. Recognizing that larger companies viewed their customers as just another number, he vowed to start a company that would do better and treats every customer with the respect they deserve.
The freight carriers and supply chain business is based on relationships, right? How many times have you heard that one? Companies peddle their sales and marketing pitches all the time, but they never talk about communication, transparency, and trust. Business relationships are essential for a strong partnership; however, these relationships must be developed. Only when you establish a foundation of trust and transparency can a meaningful relationship be established.
Our goal with our customers is always a win-win outcome. Cultivating and nurturing strong relationships takes time and effort, but it pays off. While price is important, working with a freight carrier provider you trust will reduce risk and the cost of doing business in the long term. We work hard for long term relationships. A relationship is a two-way street and you get back what you put in. See what our customers are saying at www.fulltiltlogistics.com.
To demonstrate our confidence in providing the highest level of customer service available and a fair price for our freight carriers services, we promise to do what we say or you pay nothing! When a new customer books five loads with Full Tilt, if for any reason a load is not delivered on time that load is free!

Chief Financial Officer, Cindy Novich is a retired CPA and medical group administrator. She is also a University of Nevada, Reno graduate who wanted a career change and formed this company with her daughter-in-law. She's married and has two grown sons and three (almost four) grandchildren.
"I find this industry to be so exciting especially now that Reno-Sparks has become such a transportation hub," she wrote.
CN: I am a lifelong resident of Reno and I love the people and the robust business climate. Also, the opportunity to start a women-owned company and work with family was just too tempting to pass up.
TN: We did our homework and decided the time was right to start the company. The energy in Reno is great and the business community has been very accepting. We created one of the few women-owned freight brokerage companies in the country. From hiking to desert road trips, beautiful Lake Tahoe and all the local history, Reno is truly the best place for us.
TN: Yes. We started with three employees and now have ten with a satellite office in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Our team is highly motivated, experienced and we provide the highest level of customer service available at competitive prices. Being women-owned has been a catalyst for growth through networking opportunities in the community and across the country. We move anything and everything by truck, air, rail, and ocean. No job is too big or too small.
CN: Yes we are growing. We work hard to provide ultimate customer service. We are available 24-7 to be sure our customer’s needs are met. Revenues are up 45 percent in the last year. The local community has been very supportive and we are seeing a significant repeat business and referrals are way up.
CN: Because of our growth we have been able to create jobs. We are also advocates for other women-owned businesses and utilize their services whenever possible. We are involved with local charities and fundraisers.
TN: Our greatest achievement is providing jobs in the community. As we move forward we will be participating in more charitable events and expanding our involvement in the wonderful Reno community.
CN: Northern Nevada is doing a lot of things to create growth in the area. There is a different vibe right now. The energy is good. Not letting growth outpace the support services will be challenging but the area is moving in the right direction.
TN: Reno needs to continue to create well-paying jobs for those seeking employment. Continue to embrace tourism, high-tech careers and, of course, the rapidly expanding logistics industry.
