Our Organizational Development team had a great time attending the Erie Regional Job Fair at Girard High School!

Events like these are a great reminder of how many driven, talented individuals are exploring their next steps, and we’re proud to be part of that journey.

A big thank you to Jennifer Pontzer for connecting us to this opportunity and helping make the event such a success. We truly appreciate the partnership!

For those considering alternatives to college, we want to emphasize that there are rewarding career paths available right here. At Hardinger, we offer opportunities to grow, build valuable skills, and establish a strong career foundation.

Safety is never static; it evolves through learning, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Leaders from across our Hardinger affiliates recently attended the National Interstate Safety Summit in Cleveland, joining more than 400 professionals focused on advancing safety across operations.

Over the two-day event, our team gained fresh perspectives from expert speakers, explored evolving technologies, and took part in conversations centered on strengthening programs, refining processes, and identifying practical, real-world improvements. Opportunities like this allow us to keep building on the strong culture we’re proud of, while bringing back ideas that help us continue to elevate how we operate.

The learning didn’t stop when the sessions wrapped up; conversations carried into the evening of day one at the Cleveland Guardians game, providing a relaxed setting to take in the experience.

And to close things out on a fun note—our Safety Director of Hardinger Trucking, Doug Ladds, was called to the stage as a drawing winner. A great (and lucky!) way to wrap up the event.

We appreciate National Interstate Insurance Company for hosting a well-executed summit that continues to bring together leading voices in safety, along with the speakers and professionals who shared their expertise throughout the event.

At Hardinger, we remain committed to learning, improving, and leading with safety—every day.

A big thank you to Erie County Community College for hosting an outstanding Career Fair and bringing together talented students and engaged local businesses.

As our organization continues to grow, we’re excited to share that our affiliates have open positions available for individuals ready to jumpstart their careers right out of school. It was great to connect with future leaders, discuss real career pathways, and highlight the opportunities waiting for them within our team.

We also enjoyed connecting with other businesses in the area and being part of the energy and collaboration that make this community so strong.
Excited about the conversations we had, and even more excited about what’s ahead.

Proud to be a sponsor of the 2026 Bids for Kids event, held this past Saturday—an incredible tradition supporting children and families across Erie and Northwestern PA.

What started in 1995 through GE Leadership Programs (now the Wabtec LEAD program) has grown into a powerful community event, raising over $3 million for organizations like the Boys and Girls Club, Make-A-Wish, Shriners Children's Hospital, and UPMC Children's Hospital.

We were honored to be part of a night that brought so much hope, generosity, and real impact, and our team members from Hardinger Integrated Logistics and Affiliates who attended had a wonderful time experiencing it firsthand. The energy, kindness, and community spirit in the room were truly unmatched.

A sincere thank you to for hosting and leading such a meaningful event, and to for capturing the moments that tell the story so well.

Proud to share this recent success story from our affiliate, Hardinger Trucking, proving that the best solutions are often the most practical ones:

One of our local clients recently secured the biggest customer order in their company’s history. To support the volume and protect margins, they needed a cost-effective way to stage freight.

We quickly provided a simple solution by placing a storage trailer at their facility so product could be loaded as it was completed.

Not every win is flashy, and not every solution is complex. Sometimes, clients simply need a practical answer and a partner who can move quickly.

That is Making It Easy and It’s Handled in action.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the HIL Driving Connections happy hour at Five Iron Golf.

It was more than just swings and scorecards—it was a chance to slow down, share ideas, and connect with the partners, clients, and friends we work with every day to keep freight and product moving.

Scroll through to catch some of the highlights from the night.

Strategy, Connections, and Impact – That’s a wrap on DIFM26!

What a day at DIFM26! The HIL team is walking away more inspired than ever. From the high-energy Manufacturing Mindshare challenge to Garrison Wynn’s fantastic keynote on leading through change, this event was a powerful reminder of why Northwestern Pennsylvania is a manufacturing powerhouse.

Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by the HIL table—we loved hearing how you’re driving impact on the floor and where your supply chain needs support.
