Flagger Force Traffic Control Services® has been recognized as an industry leader in temporary traffic control since 2002. Our company was founded by entrepreneurs Michele Doner and Mike Doner. They started the company with just under 5 employees and one pick-up truck that contained the signs, stands, and cones needed for a safe, quality work zone.  

Today, Flagger Force is establishing safe work-zones throughout the entire Mid-Atlantic region with approximately 800 trucks on the road, providing career opportunities to over 1,600 full-time employees. Flagger Force has 11 operating locations, including their corporate headquarters in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. Our clients have embraced our quality and safety standards which has allowed us to expand our geographic reach rapidly.

Flagger Force was founded in 2002 with the first flagging operation beginning in 2003. One year later, Flagger Force began servicing clients using Work Zone Protection Crews, which included their first pick-up trucks supplied with the cones, stands, and signs necessary for safe work zone setups.

Flagger Force provides careers to more than 1,600 full-time employees across the Mid-Atlantic region, encompassing the Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, DC, and Richmond markets. Flagger Force manages approximately 500 active work zones on a daily basis.

According to the United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety & Health Administration, temporary traffic control is a vital role in providing continuous safe and efficient traffic flow around a work area. “It includes the entire section of roadway between the first advance warning sign through the last traffic control device.” These are daily operations which last 12 hours or less.

Work Zones, not to be confused with Work Areas, has four components to a temporary traffic control work zone: the advanced warning area, the transition area, the activity area, and the termination area.

Flagger Force’s average field employee receives 40 hours of training per year through their internal program, the Flagger Force Academy. Flagger Force’s more tenured and experienced field employees will receive an upwards of 72 hours per year also through this program. This training far exceeds the required minimum for a certified flagger which is a four-hour Flagger Certification class. Each of Flagger Force’s training instructors is ATSSA and/or DOT-certified and committed to instilling the importance of safety and teamwork in their trainees.

Prior to calling Flagger Force, a utility company, contractor or construction company does not have to know what kind of traffic control is required. Flagger Force will gather information regarding their scope of work and determine what resources and set-up will be required to perform the job safely and efficiently. For more complex set-ups and operations, Flagger Force may suggest additional planning; this can include scheduling a pre-construction meeting. Pre-construction meetings are a value-add to our clients– free of charge. A Flagger Force Field Specialist would then meet the client on-site to review the project requirements to jumpstart the project.

Flagger Force services the entire Mid-Atlantic area and, in some cases, has been known to travel with their clients across the U.S.

Our clients include public utilities, utility contractors and municipalities such as Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE), Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), PPL Utilities, Verizon, Philadelphia Electric Company (PECO), UGI, Med-Ed, Lamberts Cable Splicing Company, LLC, Asplundh Construction Corp. and more.
