Riels is the president and CEO of Dedicated Logistic, LLC, a Crossett-based freight carrier with over 60 trucks.  At the Nov. 3 ATA Board of Directors meeting, Riels was nominated and affirmed to fill the vacant position, previously held by the late Wayne Smith of Wayne Smith Trucking, who passed in May 2017 after serving on the board for over 20 years.

Riels started Dedicated Logistics in June 2002 with his mother Ruth Riels. He is a graduate of University of Arkansas-Monticello and also owns Mechanical Solutions, a truck repair shop in Crossett.

“Alan has been an asset to our association for many years. He has always been willing to advocate for policies that strengthen the entire industry and share his experiences with lawmakers and other members,” said Shannon Newton, president of the association.
