Since 1972, Admiral Merchants has specialized in truckload special commodities. Now, Admiral Merchants provides superior transportation services throught the US & Canada.
Being with Admiral since October of 2018, Mark is known for his hard work mentality that has made him a successful owner operator here at Admiral. Hitting the road with his dog, Mark has earned a reputation of someone who cares about the work he does and the quality of service he provides.
Mark always makes sure to attend the various Admiral events throughout the year. Whether that is being an Award Winner and making it to the ceremony or stopping by the Annual Admiral BBQ in London, OH, it is always a treat to see Mark and have a good conversation. We want to thank Mark for all the hard work he has done here and his contributions to the Admiral Family. Please join me in congratulating Mark. Thank you!!

We are pleased to announce that the 2022 Annual Awards Meeting will be held March 24-26, 2023, at The Guest House at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.
You will love the truck parking that is part of Graceland’s event center area and the convenience to Graceland, one of the top 5 home tours in the US. Pets are allowed at the hotel and our Friday night reception will be at the Presley Motor Museum. It is an event you will not want to miss.
Graceland is located at 3764 Elvis Presley Boulevard in the Whitehaven, Memphis neighborhood, about nine miles (14 kilometres) south of central Memphis and fewer than four miles (6.4 km) north of the Mississippi border.
It was opened to the public as a house museum on June 7, 1982, and attracts more than 650,000 visitors annually.
Look for details in January when the award winner list has been finalized and invitations are sent.

We are looking forward to seeing many of our Admiral Family at the Annual Awards in Memphis this upcoming Spring.
Again, We want to thank everyone!!
