Mike Presto is a tenured logistics and supply chain executive with more than 25 years of experience across multiple modes of transportation.
Born and raised around the trucking industry, Mike has developed extensive hands-on knowledge across flatbed, dry van, heavy haul, specialized transportation, rail, barge and less-than-truckload freight.
Mike joined Beemac Trucking in 2016 and quickly helped launch the company's Heavy Haul Operation. Today, he brings decades of transportation knowledge, customer-focused problem solving and a driver-first approach to Beemac's leadership team.
Transportation has been part of Mike's life from an early age.
Over more than 25 years in the industry, he has developed experience across a wide range of transportation modes and freight requirements.
That background gives Mike the ability to look beyond a single transportation solution when working through a customer's logistics needs. His experience includes:
This breadth of experience provides valuable perspective when freight requires more than a standard point-to-point trucking solution.
Mike was born and raised in the trucking industry.
That background helped him develop practical knowledge of transportation from the ground up rather than approaching logistics solely from an executive or academic perspective.
Over the course of his career, he has gained exposure to many different types of freight, equipment and transportation modes.
That real-world experience helps Mike understand the operational details behind transportation decisions and how those decisions ultimately affect customers, drivers and the movement of freight.
One of the most significant parts of Mike's career at Beemac has been his work in heavy haul transportation.
After joining Beemac in 2016, Mike quickly launched a full Heavy Haul Operation for the company.
Heavy haul and specialized transportation can require significantly more planning than standard freight. Equipment requirements, freight dimensions, weight, routing, scheduling and other shipment-specific considerations can all affect how a load needs to be transported.
Mike's background across heavy haul, specialized transportation and other freight modes gives Beemac additional experience when developing transportation solutions for complex freight.
Flatbed transportation is another important part of Mike's industry experience.
Open-deck freight can include steel, construction materials, machinery, industrial equipment and other products that may not be suited to an enclosed trailer.
Mike's experience with flatbed transportation complements Beemac's broader open-deck capabilities and provides another layer of practical transportation expertise within the company's leadership team.
His knowledge can help support customers whose freight requires specialized equipment, planning and coordination.
Not every supply chain challenge can be solved using one mode of transportation.
Mike's career includes experience with trucking as well as rail and barge transportation.
This multimodal background provides a broader understanding of how freight can move through the supply chain and how different modes may work together depending on the customer's requirements.
For customers with complex logistics needs, understanding the larger transportation picture can be an important part of developing an effective solution.
Mike's experience is not limited to moving freight.
A major part of transportation leadership is understanding the customer's challenge and determining how available transportation resources can be used to solve it.
With more than 25 years of experience across multiple transportation modes, Mike brings a solutions-oriented perspective to customer relationships.
Whether the challenge involves flatbed freight, heavy haul, specialized equipment or a more complex supply chain requirement, his experience helps support Beemac's ability to evaluate the situation and develop an appropriate transportation strategy.
As a senior executive at Beemac, Mike promotes a driver-first standard built around respect and results.
That philosophy recognizes the essential role professional drivers play in Beemac's operations.
Strong transportation companies depend on experienced drivers as well as the operations, safety and support teams working behind them.
By maintaining a driver-first perspective at the leadership level, Mike helps reinforce a culture that recognizes drivers as a critical part of the company's continued success.
Since joining Beemac in 2016, Mike has helped expand the company's transportation capabilities, including launching its Heavy Haul Operation.
That experience reflects Beemac's broader approach to growth: identifying transportation opportunities, developing the necessary capabilities and building teams capable of serving customers effectively.
As Beemac continues to grow its nationwide transportation network, Mike's experience across multiple modes of freight provides valuable perspective for both current operations and future opportunities.
Mike earned degrees in Supply Chain Logistics and Computer Information Systems from Robert Morris University.
The combination of supply chain and information systems education complements his extensive hands-on transportation experience.
Supply chains increasingly depend on the connection between physical transportation, information, technology and operational decision-making.
Mike's educational background and more than 25 years of industry experience provide a strong foundation for understanding both the operational and strategic sides of transportation.
Beemac Trucking is a 100% employee-owned transportation and logistics company. The company emphasizes that its employee-owners share in the organization's success and have a stake in Beemac's future.
