UP Supply Chain c/o Supplier Diversity 1400 Douglas Street STOP 780 Omaha. NE 68179When another company lost its contract to load and unload vehicles at Union Pacific auto facilities, CPR Transit CEO and Owner Paula Fagan saw an opportunity, and she grabbed it. She presented a business plan to provide the same service at ramp facilities in West Chicago and Centerville, Illinois, saving more than 40 employees’ jobs.
The Bolingbrook, Illinois-based company is co-owned by Fagan and her husband Robert Holmes who has extensive industry expertise. Both oversee daily functions at each ramp facility, working closely with Union Pacific to ensure new cars, trucks and SUVs are loaded and unloaded, maintaining factory conditions. Like Union Pacific, CPR Transit believes safety and clear communication are critically important. Constant radio communication between employees, hand signals, spotters and technology are used to make operations successful.
