At Copper Peak Logistics, our strength comes not just from the work we do, but from the people who show up every day committed to excellence. This Women’s History Month, we are proud to recognize four women whose leadership has helped shape Copper Peak into the company it is today: Stacey Heuer, Merilee Anderson, Katiria “Kay” Rodriguez, and Heidi Grooms. Together, these four leaders represent 64 years of dedication working for the Lane Family. Their collective experience, leadership styles, and commitment to meaningful relationships have been instrumental in building the culture, standards, and reputation that define Copper Peak.

They guide clients through complex compliance requirements. They manage teams, strengthen vendor partnerships, support our financial integrity, and ensure that every shipment reflects the high standards we hold ourselves to. They do this not for recognition, but because excellence matters. At Copper Peak, partnership has always been at t
