Mercer Transportation: Driving Charity and Community—Watch Geri’s Inspiring Story

In the world of trucking, long hours on the road are often the focus, but at Mercer Transportation, there’s more to the story. Many of our incredible owner-operators are committed to making a difference beyond the highways—and Geraldine “Geri” Riley is one of those shining examples.

In our latest video, we highlight Geri’s inspiring journey. Since joining Mercer in 2020, she has grown her business from one truck to managing a fleet of three, all while staying devoted to her charitable work and community service. Geri’s passion for helping others, rooted in her upbringing and her experiences, has become a major part of her life both on and off the road.

We caught up with Geri at a charity event organized by her sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, where she shared her personal story. She opened up about how her upbringing in a small community, combined with the experiences of working in a larger city, taught her the importance of giving back. Today, Geri uses her success in the trucking industry to support her charitable efforts and inspire others.

At Mercer, we’re incredibly proud to have someone like Geri representing the values that define our company—hard work, community, and making a positive impact. Her story serves as a reminder that trucking isn’t just about delivering goods; it’s about delivering hope.

Take a moment to watch this heartwarming video and see how Geri’s dedication to charity, alongside her success as a Mercer fleet owner, is touching lives.
