TCW Marks New Era with Leadership Transition
TCW, a name synonymous with reliability and safety in transportation for over 77 years, is entering a new chapter. The transition of leadership has been meticulously planned and reflects the company's ongoing commitment to its core values. Rob Stephenson has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer, while Ben Banks steps up as President, ensuring that the organization's legacy continues seamlessly.
Focus on Legacy and Accountability
Scott George, the outgoing CEO, has emphasized that TCW's strength lies in its people. He noted that both Rob and Ben have dedicated their careers to TCW and have cultivated an understanding of the industry that is rare. According to George, “What sets TCW apart is not just moving freight but standing behind it with our people, our equipment, and our commitment to accountability.” This perspective is vital as TCW navigates its future while adhering to its foundational principles of safety and reliability.
With a history rooted in employee ownership, TCW has crafted a culture that prioritizes collaboration and trust, particularly between employees and their customers. Rob Stephenson, taking on his new role, expressed that each load transported by TCW symbolizes a promise made to customers. He underscored the company's commitment to ownership and accountability, reiterating that these values would continue to guide their operations. “Every load we move, we own it,” he stated. “That accountability is what sets us apart and will keep guiding how we serve our customers and our people.”
A Forward-Thinking Vision
The change in leadership comes at a time when TCW aims to bolster its position as a reliable partner in the logistics sector. Ben Banks reiterated this vision by stating, “For us, it's never just about moving freight. It's about the trust our customers put in us.” His focus emphasizes the essential goal of ensuring that TCW remains a dependable option that can adapt and thrive in the evolving transportation landscape.
The leadership handoff signals continuity rather than change. Both Rob and Ben have accumulated extensive experience working closely with customers, drivers, and various operational teams. Their combined efforts focus on building lasting trust with stakeholders, ensuring that TCW remains the reliable, employee-owned partner that customers can rely on for the long haul.
Commitment to Safety and Growth
As TCW embraces this leadership transition, it remains steadfast in its mission to deliver excellence in freight transportation. Emphasizing the organization’s commitment to safety, reliability, and innovation reflects its resolve to maintain the quality service that clients have come to expect.

Founded in 1948, TCW stands as an emblem of employee-ownership in the transportation and logistics space, offering services such as intermodal drayage, truckload logistics, dedicated fleet management, transloading, warehousing, and yard management. With over 430 company drivers operating across the Southeast and beyond, TCW's commitment to service remains uncompromised, ensuring that freight is delivered promptly and securely.
