Our Culture Philosophy

At Dayton Freight, we strive for excellence in everything we do and are accountable for our actions. When we fall short, we accept responsibility and attempt to make it right. We believe in professional honesty because that is the only way to communicate, to grow and to learn. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of conduct, and set an example for others.

We believe that attitude is everything. We are open to other’s ideas, even when we don’t agree with them. Our Company’s organizational health depends on diverse opinions and backgrounds, where all contributions are encouraged and acknowledged. We view change as a welcome and necessary part of growing our Company. We focus on solutions, not problems.

Teamwork is an important and critical component of delivering service to our internal and external customers. Every single person we encounter deserves our respect. We practice the supreme courtesy of listening with mind and heart, and strive for mutual understanding. We treat others as we would like to be treated. Servant leadership informs our choices and guides our actions.
