Katie Bennett Joins FlexiVan as New General Counsel
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Scottsdale, AZ ‒ July 21, 2020
FlexiVan is pleased to announce the appointment of Katie Bennett as its new General Counsel, effective July 13, 2020. “Katie’s extensive legal expertise across a broad range of disciplines, especially her work related to governance, compliance, technology and intellectual property, combined with her industry experience in the equipment leasing space, is a rare skill set that will undoubtedly benefit FlexiVan’s development going forward,” comments Ron Widdows, FlexiVan CEO.
Katie comes to FlexiVan with over 14 years of extensive legal and business experience in a range of industries, including logistics, technology, and financial services. Meanwhile, as an award-winning board adviser and executive leader, she has a proven track record of leveraging cross-functional experience in support of leadership teams.
Most recently, Katie served as General Counsel to Premier Trailer Leasing, Inc. in Texas, one of the largest trailer leasing and rental companies in the U.S. Prior to this, she held positions at different law firms in Texas and California, including Jones Day and Quinn Emanuel Urquhart Oliver & Hedges, LLP. She is a graduate of the Columbia University School of Law and current Board Member on the Texas General Counsel Forum and Women In-House Network.
Katie Bennett joins the organization at a critical time following the recent merger between FlexiVan and American Intermodal Management (AIM) announced earlier this year. With various integration efforts underway, her wealth of legal experience will be instrumental in helping to develop the new FlexiVan organization. As Ron Widdows said, “Katie brings an energy and drive to her role, not only as a recognized legal professional, but also as the newest member of our senior leadership team. We are most fortunate to have Katie joining us on our journey to build an even better FlexiVan.”

Gate Fee Increase
Effective July 1, 2020
Attention all Ocean and Motor Carriers in the Bay Area Chassis Pool (BACP):
FlexiVan has been notified by EverPort Terminal Services (ETS) that effective July 1, 2020, the ETS Gate Fee will be increased to $6.10 (from $5.84) per in and out gate move.
While FlexiVan continues to be adamantly opposed to terminal imposed gate fees, we unfortunately have no choice but must pass these fees on to our customers per our BACP Chassis Pool Agreements.
These gate fees are subject to annual review by the terminals and additional terminals may begin charging gate fees as well.
Sincerely,
FlexiVan
