Conway, Ark.- The University of Central Arkansas Athletic Department has announced a partnership with Catalyst Logistics, making the company the official transportation and logistics partner of UCA Athletics.

Director of Athletics, Matt Whiting had this to say about the agreement, "We are incredibly grateful for Catalyst Logistics and their support through this partnership. Drew, Dustin, and the entire team have a passion for our student-athletes and programs, and this partnership is another example of their outstanding support of our athletics department."

As part of the agreement, Catalyst Logistics has provided UCA Athletics with a branded truck and trailer, along with two drivers, to assist with the transportation of athletic equipment throughout the year. The 18-wheeler will play an especially important role in supporting the UCA football program as it travels this season.

Catalyst Logistics CEO and UCA alumnus Dustin Tinkler signed the agreement on behalf of the company. "Catalyst Logistics is proud to be the Transportation and Logistics partner of UCA Athletics," said Tinkler, President of Catalyst Logistics. "As proud alumni of UCA, it's meaningful for us to support the coaches and student-athletes who represent and continue the traditions we were part of."

"Having this truck and trailer is another step in the direction our program needs to go," said UCA head football coach Nathan Brown. "Traveling an entire football team and its equipment is a big task. Having the ability to load and move down the road in an 18-wheeler is a big deal. Not only is this a functional piece to our program, but it is also a beautiful description of the history of our great program rolling down the road." Brown went on to expressed his appreciation to Catalyst Logistics and its leadership. "We can't thank Drew Gainor enough. He has invested in our athletics programs so selflessly over the years. I also want to thank Dustin Tinkler on the logistics side of things in making this happen. Both Drew and Dustin are UCA alums and know the importance of helping us move forward into this new era of college athletics."
