Donna took over the operation upon the passing of her mother, M. Cathy Davis, CTB, in October of last year. The family-owned and operated brokerage has been serving customers nationwide from their location in mid-Tennessee since 1986. The firm holds certification as a woman-owned business enterprise and a disadvantaged business enterprise, which entitles MCD to handle transport for certain government contracts and industries with minority affirmation programs.

    The firm has been a member of the Transportation Intermediaries Association since 1991 and was awarded Best of the Best Broker Award in 2001 by the National Association of Small Trucking Companies.

    Wood has been an integral part of the management and operation of the firm as it earned awards and recognition. She earned her Certified Transportation Broker (CTB) designation in 1993. In 2000, for her work with the Delta Nu Alpha Transportation Fraternity, Wood was named Alphian of the Year by the Nashville TN Chapter.

    In taking over the presidency of MCD, Wood stated, "As a family, we established specific goals, values and rules of integrity by which we operate. I am committed to upholding our commitment to be honest and never avoid the truth, no matter what the situation, to be firm but fair and to always adhere to the highest standard of ethics. I continue the tradition of Cathy Davis who believed in life-long learning (Delta Nu Alpha has established a scholarship in Cathy's name) and involvement in organizations that advance the professionalism of the transportation industry."

    Wood expects to maintain the slow, steady growth the company has experienced over the last sixteen years. "This allows consistent and outstanding customer service as the company grows along with its customers and their needs," she stated. Wood also has a reputation for working to maintain a balance between professional obligations and family life for all MCD employees.

    Wood and her husband Greg and their five children reside in Murfreesboro, TN.
