A Certified Director of Safety (CDS) credentialed through NATMI, DiVito participates in the Safety Management Councils of both the American Trucking Associations (ATA) and Truckload Carriers Association (TCA). His appointment reinforces Premier Transportation's commitment to maintaining industry-leading safety standards across its operations.

"Safety is a company-wide value that we live daily while providing world-class service to our customers," said DiVito. "Our commitment to our drivers is to support them in staying compliant with the applicable regulations and making safety-focused decisions while they deliver that service."

Prior to joining Premier Transportation, DiVito spent twelve years with Crete Carrier Corporation, where he held positions in both operations and safety departments. His career began with military service, including deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Haiti.

In his new role, DiVito has outlined three key priorities for his first year: continuing to build the company's safety culture, reducing the accident rate, and conducting terminal visits to connect directly with drivers and operations teams. He emphasized the importance of evaluating existing safety programs to identify opportunities for improvement in both safety results and culture.

"Matt's combination of military leadership experience and deep transportation safety expertise makes him an ideal fit for Premier Transportation," said CEO Mike Medici. "His hands-on approach and commitment to driver engagement align perfectly with our values."

Originally from the Virginia Beach area, DiVito returns to metro Atlanta with his wife Kristin and their four daughters. The family has lived in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and Nebraska throughout his twenty-year marriage and career.
