We asked Jason McNicholl – VP – Operations and Logistics what makes Conard stand out, the response was….
“Customers appreciate his positive attitude, he is someone we can count on to get the job done, and is always will to help out dispatch even if it is for another division.”
“Like Father Like Son” – Conard is not alone, 3 of his sons work as owner operators within the Mullen Group of Companies. The boys finally caught up with dad and snapped a picture of the family fleet!

Ron has received countless nominations for the Driver of the Month & he has received runner-up to Driver of the Year. When we asked Dale Djorklund (Load Planner) to share a word or two about Ron… he responded,
“he is really dependable, great to work with and a huge asset”.
Ron has been a great ambassador for Payne, donating his time and equipment to represent our company in events such as the “Santa Claus Parade” and in the World’s Largest Truck Convoy for Special Olympics (pictured below). Congratulations Ron!
