On April 4, 2019, the Association of Bi-State Motor Carriers lost a valuable member of our team: Jeffrey A. Bader, who served eight consecutive terms as our organization’s President since the Bi-State’s formation in 2002, passed away unexpectedly after a sudden medical event.
In lieu of our April General Meeting, the Executive Board hosted a Memorial Service to honor and celebrate Jeff’s life. More than 100 Bi-State members and stakeholders throughout the port community gathered in Newark, along with Jeff’s family, to remember the many contributions that he made to the intermodal trucking community.
