About MAST

Mid-American Specialized Transport is a minority-owned truckload carrier. With special emphasis in dedicated contracts, regional truckload operations and logistics services, we are your source for customized transportation solutions whether you need one tractor or, 50.

Reliable delivery throughout a supply chain is our team’s standard for performance. We think well on our feet and optimize assets to manage our client’s fluctuating inventory and product demand patterns.

Mid-American Specialized Transport was acquired by Paula Joyner in July 2009 with one truck and one contract. The firm’s expansion plans are based on long-term relationships with experienced transportation companies, as well as expanding our customer base with Fortune 1000 customers that value our “performance first’ attitude as a minority-owned carrier and logistics provider.

Ms. Joyner brings a unique combination of skills to this enterprise. Her background includes the Air Force (with command responsibility for squadron logistics), followed by a decade of financial analysis and strategy (including investment banking and debt-restructuring experience) and development of transportation software products. In addition, she has served as the chief operations officer for firms in the publishing and retail industries, giving her hands-on insight into the challenges of both a manufacturer and distributor.

Ms. Joyner is focused on providing an operational team with commitment and an understanding of a customer’s mission and the ability to execute as a top-tier service provider.
