Via “Agent’s Corner”, they are able to:
- View all shipments destined to their country
- Track all shipments to their country
- Track containers en route to them
- Track shipments destined to the US
- Obtain US domestic pricing
- Download and retrieve shipping documents
One of the greatest benefits of the “Agents
Corner” is that it solves many of the problems
associated with global time zone differences by
having all this information readily available at
their fingertips.
Our team is made up of:
• Michael Cheverie in sales. Mike is a
graduate of the Massachusetts Maritime
Academy who, after spending time at sea as
a Chief Mate, worked in sales for a couple of
major steamship lines.
• Tom Swain, also a graduate of the
Massachusetts Maritime Academy, is
heading up the operations side of our
branch.
• Ronda Mitchell looks after the customer
service and documentation functions of the
branch. A recent addition to the team, Ronda
has over ten years experience as export
coordinator for a local Boston forwarder.
• Joe Pimentel is our branch manager and
brings to the team 30 years experience in
executive and management capacities from
several Boston based NVO’s.
There’s a lot of hard work ahead of us in order
to reach our goals and the team looks forward
to meeting the challenges which lie ahead.

Boston Branch
The start of the American Revolutionary War
was in Boston and it is also where we find the
team from our 12th branch. Small in numbers,
the team is hard at work getting the message
out to the shipping community that CaroTrans
is in Boston and we’re here to stay. Having
a Boston branch reinforces our commitment
to a decentralized stance and establishes an
important local presence to the rising shipping
needs of New England exporters and importers.
Chicago Branch
New changes bring high expectations and
the Chicago Team has been through a few
changes in the past year. Though some of them
challenging, the team has endured.
We moved from our Hinsdale facility, which
was small, disjointed and not air‐conditioned
… and for those of you who have experienced
Chicago’s severe humidity and high heat, you
can imagine what it felt like!
Our new office is much more spacious, allows
us to work together in one open plan area, and
Joe Zeno has made us aware of the working air
conditioner!!
In addition to the office, we have experienced
growth in our team as well. We have had the
opportunity to welcome some new fantastic
members to our team: Debbie Klodzinki, Jim
Stutzman, Theresa VanDoren, and Nicole Bobor.
They have influenced our team in a positive way
and have been committed to ensuring we meet
our expected goals.
