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.
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.
