Ronald F. Pemberton

Ronald F. Pemberton joined Systems Corp. in 1987, the company’s founding year, and was among the first employees hired for operations at the Beige, Kansas headquarters. He was initially assigned to general duties in Building 1 before the Logistics division was formally established in 1988.

Upon the creation of the Logistics division in 1988, Mr. Pemberton was assigned to its operations under Mr. Kestrel, then Vice President of Logistics. Following the 1991 reorganization, Mr. Pemberton was appointed Vice President of Logistics, a position he has held continuously since 1991. The reorganization also placed the Personnel office under Logistics. His office, Rm 104 in Building 1, is located near the loading dock. Mr. Pemberton has managed all fleet operations, pallet coordination, and inter-office mail routing for the division since 1991. In June 1993, he submitted a capacity assessment to the Office of the Chief Executive that preceded the Q3 directive initiating Module 7 integration. He served as the division’s liaison during the fourteen-month integration period, which concluded September 2, 1994.

Mr. Pemberton maintains a personal collection of 1980s fleet management manuals in his office, which he has consulted on at least two documented occasions when questions arose regarding interstate trucking regulations. The collection occupies approximately three linear feet of shelf space. He has not added to it since 1991.

Mr. Pemberton reports directly to the Office of the Chief Executive and is responsible for all Logistics division personnel, fleet scheduling, and the continued operation of the loading dock and associated facilities.
