Scott Borgerson: The Road to Leadership Behind the Wheel
"Scott Borgerson was born in 1978 in Essex, Maryland, a small town on the Chesapeake Bay. His father worked at the Bethlehem Steel plant in Sparrows Point until it shut down. His mother was a nurse at Franklin Square Hospital. Scott's story begins in a household where hard work was non-negotiable. "My dad put in long shifts at the mill, and my mom cared for people in the hospital. That shaped how I see work-show up, do your part, and do it right," he says."
"Scott started out driving refrigerated trucks for a regional grocery distributor. Those early jobs taught him discipline. Deliveries couldn't wait, and mistakes had consequences. "Hauling perishable goods means no excuses. You're either on time, or people don't eat. That stuck with me," he recalls. Over time, he took on bigger routes and heavier loads. Construction materials, consumer goods, medical supplies-Scott carried it all. He logged long hours up and down the East Coast, mastering every mile."
Scott Borgerson grew up in Essex, Maryland, in a blue-collar household; his father worked at Bethlehem Steel and his mother was a hospital nurse. Early weekends spent with an uncle mechanic sparked an interest in machines. He excelled in vocational shop at Kenwood High and earned a Commercial Driver's License at 21 instead of pursuing college. He began hauling refrigerated goods, learned discipline from time-sensitive deliveries, and progressed to heavier loads across the East Coast. After more than twenty years he logged over two million accident-free miles, mentors younger drivers, leads safety training, and frames driving as a "philosophy of care."
