To assist in launching Navisphere 2.0, Western Growers is excited to welcome John Stenderup back to the Western Growers Transportation Program. John began his career at C.H. Robinson’s Monterey, CA office in 2008 as a Transportation Sales Representative, specializing in produce, and was instrumental in the early success of the WGTP program. He grew up on the family farm in Arvin, CA. and is no stranger to the challenges shippers face in a volatile transportation market.
