Meet the Leadership
Execution. Accountability. Strategic Growth.
At First Coast Freight, we believe logistics should feel structured, proactive, and dependable — not reactive. Our leadership team is built around operational discipline, strategic thinking, and direct accountability.
​
We operate as an extension of our customers’ operations — aligning transportation strategy with real-world business demands.

Our Network
First Coast Freight operates with national reach supported by a vetted carrier network capable of scaling capacity across regional and national lanes.
Every shipment is managed with direct oversight and clear accountability — because reliability is a competitive advantage.
Growth Vision
Building a More Integrated Logistics Platform
First Coast Freight is positioned for strategic expansion beyond transportation brokerage.
​
Our growth roadmap includes the development of a Jacksonville-based warehouse operation designed to support:
-
Cross-dock operations
-
Overflow storage
-
Regional distribution
-
E-commerce fulfillment
-
Project-based inventory staging
This evolution allows us to serve customers who require more than capacity — they require integration.
​
Our long-term objective is to build a regional logistics platform that combines transportation, warehousing, and fulfillment under one accountable partner.
We are not building for short-term transactions.
We are building infrastructure for long-term partnerships.
