Transportation & Supply Chain · Executive Leadership

I drove the freight before I priced it.

I started in 1984 as a linehaul driver and logged a million safe miles. I finished running a $600M operating region for one of the largest LTL carriers in the country, managing a $1.2B global account portfolio at FedEx, and building the sales organizations that priced your freight. Now I bring that to your side of the table.

The practice

Transportation & supply chain.

For shippers spending $500K to $20M a year on LTL and small parcel — typically companies between $20M and $150M in revenue.

Most mid-market shippers pay more than they should — not because they negotiated badly, but because carrier pricing is deliberately difficult to read. Accessorial creep, class and density misalignment, dimensional weight rules, minimum charge structures. The complexity is not accidental.

I spent four decades on the carrier side, including a $600M operating region with full P&L accountability. I read those agreements the way the people who wrote them do.

  • LTL network & rate structure review
  • Small parcel program analysis
  • Classification, packaging & claims audits
  • Bid & negotiation preparation
  • Mode & network optimization
  • Carrier performance management

Executive leadership development

For companies between $5M and $50M whose managers were promoted for being excellent at the job and never taught to lead. I've built leadership benches inside organizations with thousands of employees and cut turnover 68% in one of them.

How this works →
Why both

Freight problems are almost never only freight problems.

There are plenty of freight consultants and plenty of executive coaches. Very few people do both, and there's a reason I do.

A carrier agreement that's costing you money usually has a matching gap in who's managing it and how. A leadership bench that isn't developing shows up first as service failures and cost creep. I've sat in the operating chair with full P&L accountability and in the enterprise sales chair carrying a $1.2B portfolio, so I can see both at once.

You get a practitioner, not a framework. I'm not going to hand you a deck and a maturity model. I'm going to tell you what I'd do if it were my region.
