I’m Thomas Bowman, a logistics professional with over 30 years in the trucking industry — starting out as a driver and working my way into operations management. Today, I lead teams across multiple locations for a national carrier, overseeing safety, performance, and strategic logistics planning. Along the way, I realized there’s no clear path for drivers to move into leadership roles without a college degree. That’s why I created ShiftLane Academy — to give working drivers the tools, knowledge, and confidence to level up into dispatch, operations, and beyond.
