It seems fitting for a company that began in
2005 as a family-run business. Founder and
President Andy Khera set out to become one
of the industry’s top transport carriers by ap-
plying his own knowledge of trucking, logis-
tics management and information technology.
Outfitted with two trucks, they began hauling
automotive parts for Ford Motor Company.
“Having gained valuable experience mov-
ing automotive parts, our next customer was
GM (General Motors), which saw significant
growth within Charger,” Pichumani said. “Our
key focus was to diversify our customer base.”
Recession brought renewed efforts
The company faced one of its biggest hurdles
during the recession of 2008, as its clients were
among those hit hardest by the financial crisis.
That’s when Charger decided to refocus their
efforts to expand their client list, implementing
four key pillars that would guide the company
“Charger focuses to grow its most valuable assets, which are its employees and
its drivers.”
