Mayte Castro – President Reno-Tahoe YPN
Tiffany Novich is the co-founder and President of Full Tilt Logistics and Full Tilt Transportation. She is a graduate of the University of Nevada where she was captain of the Women’s Rugby Team. Tiffany is passionate about fitness, nutrition and being physically active. She cultivates a positive workplace environment and encourages employees to be who they are and build upon their strengths to be successful. She loves being involved in the local community and helping people. Through Tiffany’s leadership, the combined companies have grown from three employees in 2014 to over 40 employees today.
The Reno Tahoe Young Professionals Network (YPN) evolved out of a regional economic development planning process led by the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN). The Target 2010 project identified that retaining and attracting young talent is a critical need for the greater Reno-Tahoe region.
In January 2006, at Directions Annual Conference, our community was challenged to empower young professionals to get involved in maintaining the region’s economic vitality and quality of life. In summer 2006, several focus groups were convened asking young professionals what they were looking for in an organization geared towards them.
Out of those focus groups, the first meeting of the Reno Tahoe Young Professionals Network was held on November 9, 2006, with more than 40 people attending. In December of that year, the first board of directors was appointed. In February 2007, the group celebrated its official launch at Directions 2007 with more than 700 regional business leaders.
Reno Tahoe YPN has continued to evolve to meet the needs of a growing membership and changing economy. The focus has always been to cultivate an informed and active young professional community that collaborates with the community and a variety of established partner organizations throughout northern Nevada.
Tiffany has led Full Tilt to great success and growth over the last several years and we can't wait to see what the future holds! If you're looking for a career in transportation and logistics, connect with us to find out more about what makes Full Tilt one of the best employers in the area.
For those considering truck driving careers, you need to know that the trucking industry is one of the few that remains stable in times of economic recession. This stability makes trucking careers highly desirable. Here are some additional reasons why more people are turning to trucking jobs and making them into careers.
Full Tilt Transportation Careers
How much does a truck driver make? As an entry-level truck driver at Full Tilt Transportation, you have the potential to make up to $60,000 in your first year. This is an exceptional salary for a position that requires no previous experience. Full Tilt’s fair entry-level pay is great for hourly employees who would otherwise have to work several years to earn such a salary. At Full Tilt, you can get on the road immediately and bring home a solid paycheck. On average, at Full Tilt Transportation, we pay our drivers more than the industry average.
Instant ticket to the middle class. So many young people in their 20’s are plagued by student loan debt. In trucking, the training generally takes 4 to 6 weeks and typically costs from $3,000 to $6,000 depending on where the training is done. First-year truck drivers right out of CDL school with Full Tilt are averaging over $54,000 with the potential for much more with superior performance. What other industry can say the same? For those young people seeking a well-paid and satisfying career, Full Tilt Transportation may be the best solution.
“I'm a 23-year-old single male. I have a college degree, but the job market is not great for my field and I HATE being in an office. Not to mention, truck driver salaries are on par with or better than many entry-level degreed jobs."
"I have a lot of debt and what I’m really looking for is a gig that allows me to see the country and allow me to put away some money. I need a little nest egg to help pay off debts and give me some capital to work with down the line."
"I also like driving on the highway. Being on the road so much working really keeps expenses down and allows me to put money away and get out of debt.”
If there's a need for cargo, there's a need for truck drivers to deliver that cargo. Many of our drivers at Full Tilt have experience working in unstable industries like construction. After these jobs, they then sought careers with more regular, weekly paychecks. This is something that trucking careers at Full Tilt Transportation offer.
There's currently a shortage of truck drivers and professional drivers. This has lead to high demand for truck drivers. These are individuals who are essential to the function of the U.S. economy. As a driver with Full Tilt, you have the important job of delivering the food we eat, the clothes we wear, and the materials that we use to build our homes. As a truck driver, you are performing a significant job that can't be exported or shipped overseas.
Once you get that first year of driving under your belt, you can choose from many different career paths in the trucking industry. After spending some time on the road, some drivers then decide to become trainers, dispatchers, or fleet managers. Just remember that trucking is like any other industry. You have to accrue seniority and acquire some experience before you can advance to higher and more sought-after positions.
As a Full Tilt truck driver, you'll enjoy the freedom of the open road. If you're an independent person you get to do things your way for the most part. This is one of the added benefits that leads people into truck driving careers. For truck drivers needing to stay closer to Reno, Full Tilt also has short hauls and local routes.
Full Tilt truck drivers get to see the country and get paid good money! Just last year alone, we’ve had drivers deliver to the NCAA College Basketball Final Four, Super Bowl, hurricane relief in Texas and Louisiana and delivering Monster Trucks to Monster Jam events.
