Dan Deppeler

To say that Vice President of Maintenance Dan Deppeler is an integral part of what makes Paper Transport successfully operate is a bit of an understatement. Why? Because he’s the team leader that keeps the company’s trucks and trailers traveling safely down the road every day.

He oversees a team of 11 people that is responsible for three main things: 1) Purchasing PTI’s equipment, 2) properly maintaining that equipment, and 3) supporting the company’s drivers any way they can. Although their job may sound straightforward, it’s not a small undertaking. The company currently has 875 trucks and more than 3,000 trailers. As the backbone of the company’s entire operation, Dan and his team pride themselves on working extremely hard to maintain PTI’s fleet so it’s always running safely, smoothly, and efficiently.

Dan holds a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and a Microsoft SQL Certification from the University of California-San Diego. He’s worked in transportation for a total of 20 years; other roles prior to PTI include being a Financial Analyst, Senior Financial Manager, and Controller.

Dan has a wealth of knowledge about different aspects of the transportation industry from maintenance to financial planning, purchasing, and more.
