OUR BEST ASSETS ARE OUR PEOPLE
It’s really true. Any time someone meets a YAK MAT employee or interacts with them, they remember that person. It’s mostly because they’re passionate about what they do and don’t approach their work like a “job”. Our team goes beyond the office in Columbia, MS. You’ll likely meet a YAK employee on your next project, at one of our yards, or at your local restaurant. We are more than mats, we are partners in your success.
OUR PEOPLE ARE WHAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.
What can I do to help? That’s how I start every day. Our field guys and gals are in remote locations months on end – away from coworkers and their families. They can end up feeling like they’re on an island. But the reality is, they’re one of the most important parts of our organization
When I recognized the support the field YAKs needed, I took action. I talk to each person in the field on a regular basis to understand challenges, successes, where we can improve and just so they know we are there for them. Because at the end of the day, our most important asset is our people.
And at YAK, we have the best in the industry.

I LOCATE THE ACCESS MATS YOU NEED.
The people at YAK are the main reason I love working here. There are some really smart and experienced people at YAK MAT. That’s why, when I get a project, I list the hurdles I am facing, come up with possible solutions, and then bounce those ideas off a few others for their opinion.
Our people are the best tools we have so why not use them? This is especially important when trying to find the right access mats for the appropriate terrain and in the location our customers need.
We consider every approach and together we’re able to provide the best access solution for each customer. We’re like family and we love working together.

I SEE ALL THE DETAILS.
YAK MAT is really my home away from home. It has that “at home” feeling because everyone here is friendly, courteous and they are all around good people. Everyone here looks out for each other like we do for our customers.
We spend most of our waking days at work, so that’s a really good thing. Our team has one goal in mind and that is to provide our customers with the best access solution for their project at a competitive price.
I try hard to look at my quotes from every angle to make sure I am giving the best price while utilizing the right mats to fit my customers’ needs. I might offer a different mat that is closer to your project site if it works and saves them money.
You can always trust that we have your back!

WE MANAGE ALL THE MOVING PARTS.
I manage the day to day operations of YAK MAT. This consists of conference calls, one after another, communicating daily with every salesman, and making sure our logistics is aligned with our customer’s needs.
With the largest inventory of hardwood access mats and more mat yards than anyone else, we keep mats moving from mat yards to project sites all over the country. But, none of this would be possible without the amazing group of people at YAK.
They work tirelessly to make sure we do what we say we are going to do and understand that our services can make or break the success of a project. We value our customers and go out of our way to prove it.
