Highland Express is an approved ground transportation system for the Defense Travel Management Office (DTMO), a noteworthy accomplishment in today’s competitive world of transportation.
Highland Express Shuttle Service, of Raleigh, North Carolina, was incorporated in March of 1984 as an airport shuttle between Fayetteville and Raleigh, North Carolina. That same year, the Navy Recruiting services inquired about transporting their applicants to the Raleigh MEPS from the Fayetteville Recruiting Station on the airport shuttle. The service was initiated and the first door-to-door applicant travel route in the United States was conceived. Over the next nine years Highland expanded to 8 routes in the southeastern United States. In January of 1993, Highland hired a new general manager, Retired Major Steven Shelton, with 5 years of Recruiting Company Commander and Battalion Executive Officer experience. He is currently the Owner and CEO of Highland. Realizing the importance of more “phone time” and less “windshield time” for the field recruiter, Major Shelton devoted his time to developing a safe and timely system of transporting applicants to and from the MEPS for testing and processing. The Recruiting Services using the shuttle cut their GSA mileage by almost 50%, reducing their fuel consumption expense, reducing their vehicle accident rate significantly, eliminated recruiter congestion within the MEPS, gave recruiters time with their families on weekends, and most of all, assisted the Recruiters with their “MISSION ACCOMPLISHMENT”. Highland’s reputation began to spread.
