Spotlight On Success: Joseph Gomez
Year He Joined ES: 2021
ES Community Carrier: Panther Premium Logistics, a service of ArcBest

Fun Fact: Joseph was inspired to get into trucking because his father had been a truck driver for 30 years and Joseph saw what a difference it made for his family. Joseph is pictured here with his Fleet Supervisor at Panther, Marco.
Joseph has seen his share of ups and downs, as he built his business over the last two years. “It hasn’t always been smooth sailing,” he was quick to point out when discussing his father’s health concerns that forced him to carry on without him. While much of the credit for his success is his own, Joseph emphasizes that no one succeeds alone, especially in the trucking industry.
“Support is everything,” he said, recalling the vast network of support ranging from his loved ones to the team at Panther Premium Logistics, a service of ArcBest, along with the ES service coordinators. That unwavering support has allowed Joseph to thrive regardless of the obstacles thrown his way. The result – he has built a legacy not just for himself but for his family, showing others that success in the trucking industry is possible when you have the right partners by your side.
