Flagger Force, an industry-leader in temporary traffic control services, has reached a milestone this September, celebrating 15 years in business. Founded in 2002, the company establishes more than 500 work zones daily across the eastern United States and has always had a clear mission – to make a difference in the communities in which they serve.
“We credit our continued success to the dedication and hard work of our more than 1,600 employees,” said Mike Doner, executive vice president, chief operating officer, and co-founder. “Controlling work zones is a dangerous business, and from our founding we focused on providing training programs significantly above the minimum requirements.

It’s an important part of our culture.”
