Matt Yearling and Erin Mitchell recognized for leadership in optimizing yard logistics for enterprise shippers.
Henderson, NV – February 5, 2025 – Food Logistics, the leading publication exclusively covering the movement of products through the global cold food supply chain, has named Matt Yearling, CEO, and Erin Mitchell, COO of YMX Logistics, as recipients of the 2025 Rock Stars of the Supply Chain award. YMX Logistics is a leading national provider specializing in integrated yard logistics operations, spotting and shuttling services, and yard management technology solutions to enterprise shippers nationwide.
This annual recognition highlights supply chain and logistics leaders whose innovation, dedication, and industry impact drive efficiency, resilience, and sustainability in the food logistics sector.
“I'm honored to be recognized by Food Logistics magazine,” said Matt Yearling, CEO of YMX Logistics. “Every executive I speak with is focused on increasing efficiency while minimizing risk and costs. This is the new reality. The global food supply chain has never been more complex, and enterprise shippers understand that they can no longer afford inefficiencies in their yards. The YMX team aims to guide our customers on a differentiated roadmap to greater efficiency powered by data and technology, proactive problem-solving, reduced spending, and meaningful sustainability contributions across all network nodes.”
Erin Mitchell, COO of YMX Logistics, added: "Standardizing yard operations across a distribution network is one of the most significant opportunities for food shippers to increase efficiency and reduce costs. After managing over 100 warehouses and five national distribution networks for one of the world's largest food manufacturers, I saw firsthand that no outsourced yard service provider fully aligned with shippers’ operational needs. I'd like to thank Marina and her team for this recognition. It validates our vision and reinforces that YMX is on the right track.”
"From cargo fraud and regulatory changes to extreme weather and evolving food safety standards, today's supply chain leaders are tackling unprecedented challenges. This award recognizes individuals who demonstrate resilience, innovation, and a commitment to excellence in the cold chain industry," said Marina Mayer, editor-in-chief of Food Logistics and Supply & Demand Chain Executive. ”We would like to congratulate the Matt and Erin for being 2025 award recipients.”
