ABOUT LAST MILE LEADERSHIP

Built by someone who worked her way through the operation.

Kelsey Turner started as a driver in 2018, became a Business Contact, and now operates two GOLD CSAs and owns a mechanic shop. That path gives Last Mile Leadership a practical, operator-level view of the people, fleet, systems, and leadership required to run a strong P&D operation.

The mission is simple: develop BCs who can lead confidently, make sound decisions, and reduce unnecessary dependence on the AO.

TOOLS I USE IN MY OWN OPERATIONS

Technology should give your leaders more time to lead.

I use GroundSwell in my own operations to reduce unnecessary routing work and give management more time to actually lead.

GroundSwell is not required to work with Last Mile Leadership—it is simply a tool I use and believe in.
