Stability & Longevity

Since the 1940s, Johnson Feed has built a strong foundation based on reliability, adaptability, and taking care of our team. Our office and shop employees are part of a company with a proven history of success and a commitment to helping people build lasting careers.

People-First Culture

People have always been at the center of what we do. We’ve built a workplace where team members support each other, take pride in their work, and have the opportunity to build meaningful, long-term careers.

Collaborative Teams

Our office and shop teams work side by side toward a common goal: supporting our drivers, serving our customers, and keeping our operation running strong. Everyone has a role in making it happen.

Our Commitment

Safety Is Not a Policy.
It's Our Culture.

At Johnson Feed, safety is built into everything we do. From the moment a driver leaves our yard to the moment freight is delivered, we operate with a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and a genuine commitment to bringing everyone home safely every day.

Our safety record speaks for itself, including a 2025 TCA Fleet Safety Award 2nd Place finish in Division IV and a long history of recognition from our partners at Tyson Foods and Smithfield. But awards are only part of the story. The real measure of our safety culture is the behavior of our 375+ team members on the road and in our shops every single day.

Driver Safety Programs

Our driver safety programs include ongoing safety training, safety bonuses, and performance tracking to support safe driving practices. Our drivers are incentivized and supported to operate safely every mile.
Equipment Inspections

Every unit in our fleet undergoes regular preventive maintenance and pre-trip inspections. Tractors are traded every 4 years to maintain fleet quality and reduce mechanical risk on the road.
Regulatory Compliance

Johnson Feed maintains full compliance with FMCSA regulations, including hours-of-service requirements via ELDs, drug and alcohol testing programs, and driver qualification file management.
Technology & Monitoring

All power units are equipped with Samsara in-cab satellite systems providing real-time location tracking, event recording, and two-way driver-dispatcher communication for immediate response to any situation on the road.
Ongoing Training

Our training programs include driver orientation, refresher training, safety meetings, and continuing education opportunities designed to keep our team prepared and informed.
Commitment to Safe Operations

Safety isn't just a driver issue. It's a company-wide commitment. Our dispatch team, shop technicians, and leadership all share responsibility for creating an environment where everyone feels empowered to raise safety concerns and do the right thing.
