"BlueGrace is a fast-paced company powered by an energetic team of leaders," Blankenship said. "I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with a variety of different people at such a growth oriented company."

Blankenship has been in the transportation industry for nearly 15 years, starting off at Yellow Transportation, now known as YRC Freight, as Vice President of Pricing and Sales Strategy.

Looking for new challenges and a more fast-paced environment, Blankenship joins BlueGrace with the opportunity to create value for both carriers and customers.
