TransForce Inc., a nationwide truck-driver staffing firm headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, named Dennis Cooke as the company's president and chief executive officer.

Cooke succeeds David Broome, the company's founder, who now serves as executive chairman. Cooke will lead TransForce’s day-to-day operations and the execution of its strategy. Most recently, he was president of global fleet management solutions for Ryder System Inc., a commercial fleet management, dedicated transportation and supply chain solutions company, for nearly a decade. He previously held leadership roles at Morpho Detection as well as General Electric and related companies.

“Dennis is a proven leader who possesses a deep understanding of transportation and logistics customers” said Leon Brujis, partner at Palladium Equity Partners LLC, a private equity firm whose affiliate is TransForce Group's majority owner. “We believe that these attributes, along with his track record of success in driving cross-functional team performance and achieving customer satisfaction and growth, will be significant benefits to TransForce Group and its large base of carrier customers going forward.”
