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.

FOUNDER & LOGISTICS STRATEGIST

Joshua Dickey

Jacksonville, Florida

Joshua Dickey is the Founder of First Coast Freight LLC, a Jacksonville-based logistics provider focused on execution, service consistency, and scalable freight solutions.

​

With almost 20 years of experience across transportation operations, dispatch, compliance, customs coordination, and brokerage, Joshua brings a comprehensive understanding of the supply chain from dock to delivery.

​

His background spans operational management and strategic freight brokerage, allowing him to bridge the gap between frontline execution and long-term transportation planning.

​

Joshua partners with manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and importers nationwide to manage:

  • Full Truckload (FTL)

  • Less-Than-Truckload (LTL)

  • Flatbed & Specialized Freight

  • Intermodal

  • International Air & Ocean

  • Expedited Solutions

 

By combining local Jacksonville market insight with national carrier capacity, he helps customers reduce complexity, improve reliability, and maintain visibility across their transportation network.

​​

His approach is simple: proactive communication, disciplined execution, and long-term partnership over transactional freight movement.​

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.
