our purpose
What Defines Us
What drives us is a deep understanding of what matters most. We channel that drive through our values and the behaviors that bring them to life.
How We Work Together
Our values are more than words on a wall. They are the foundation for how we work, interact, and lead every day. This section brings those values to life by outlining the specific behaviors that show what they look like in action. From how we make decisions to how we support each other, these behaviors guide us in building a workplace where people thrive, feel respected, and grow together.
Be Decisive, Yet Adaptable
Set Clear Expectations
I will create clarity and avoid misunderstanding by discussing expectations right away. I will establish shared objectives and deadlines for all projects, issues, and commitments. I will invite others to summarize their understanding to ensure full clarity and alignment.
Take Action
I am empowered. I will always make decisions in the best interest of the company. When necessary, I will decide quickly and follow my instincts.
Seek Improvement Regularly
I will strive to improve myself, my department, and the business every day. I will seek out new ideas and challenge the status quo. I will invest in my personal development.
Create Relationships That Matter
Practice Active Listening
I learn more effectively when I am focused on listening rather than talking. I will take the time to listen carefully and process the information that is being shared with me.
Respect All People
I will always approach people with respect and understanding. I will treat others the way I wish to be treated. I aim to create a better experience for my coworkers and strive to create a positive impression for our customers.
Assume Positive Intent
I will assume that people are good, fair and honest and the intent behind their actions is positive. I will give people the benefit of the doubt.
Design Proactive Solutions
Focus On the Facts
I will let information and reality drive my decision making. I will address business issues with facts, data and logic versus emotional responses.
Find a Way
I will take personal responsibility for making things happen. I will respond to every situation by looking for how we can do it rather than explaining why it can’t be done. I will be resourceful, show initiative, and address problems quickly.
Embrace A Personal Commitment to Safety
Do The Right Thing, Without Exception
I am committed to doing the right thing in every action I take and every decision I make, even when no one is looking. I will always tell the truth.
Own Your Impact
Ask Why
I will be curious and ask questions when I need more information. Knowing why allows me to understand when my actions are adding value and when they no longer make sense. A better understanding of why will help me be engaged and create true value.
Honor Commitments
I will earn people’s trust by being true to my word. I will follow through on what I say and deliver my work on time. I will anticipate the unexpected and ensure that this does not become an excuse.
Admit Mistakes
I understand that it is OK to make mistakes as this allows for continuous improvement. I will openly admit my mistakes and learn from them. This will strengthen our culture through humbleness and trust.
Build For the Future
Think Long Term
I will look at the big picture and think about the future. By thinking long term, I create lasting value for my customers, coworkers, and the company.
Embrace Change
I will look at change as an opportunity for growth. I will speak with optimism and encouragement.
Keep A Positive Mindset
I will be upbeat and optimistic. I understand that my positive attitude facilitates high productivity, engagement and greater happiness for myself and those around me.
COMMUNITY-BASED EMPLOYER
Giving back to the community is something that Paper Transport has been involved in since the year the company was founded. Paper Transport's community outreach efforts have always been focused on supporting organizations that provide services and resources directly to families and individuals, making sure they have the things they need to survive. In the beginning, this meant donating to organizations like Paul’s Pantry and the Salvation Army near company headquarters in Wisconsin. Today, we’ve been given the opportunity to give back to people in other communities with the addition of new Paper Transport park locations/terminals throughout the Midwest and Southern United States. Our goal is to help people in the communities where we’re located. Together, we can keep everyone moving forward in the right direction.
