Today marks the launch of Velocity Freight Transport, Inc. (Velocity Transport), a freight brokerage company dedicated to providing significant value to both shippers and carriers. Led by industry veterans Ross Grier, John Lower, Aaron Keister, and Seth Arnoux, Velocity Transport aims to be a first-class freight brokerage company known for their principled approach and quality of service.

The launch of Velocity Transport comes at a time when the supply chain industry is in need of fresh thinking and an updated business model to enable carriers and shippers to meet their deadlines, growth goals and retain their competitive edge. To help with this, Velocity Transport will offer competitive pricing, relentless service, cutting-edge technology and comprehensive freight solutions.

With its headquarters and operations management stationed in Plano, Texas, Velocity Transport plans to serve clients across the United States, and provide refrigerated, flatbed, intermodal, LTL, van and expedited freight offerings.

“With today’s constant shifts in consumption trends and transportation regulations, supply chain leaders in all industries are facing more volatility and challenges than ever before. We’re launching Velocity Transport to bring comprehensive freight solutions to the market and deliver a level of service that will raise the bar on the freight brokerage industry overall,” said John Lower, vice president of Velocity Transport.

Velocity Transport is committed to going above and beyond for their customers and carriers. One example of the investment being made to accomplish this goal is the surety bond held by Velocity Transport, which is more than three times the regulatory requirement. “We believe this is consistent with our core values of integrity and service, and it’s an important sign of our commitment to this business and our financial strength,” said Ross Grier, president of Velocity Transport.

“Our entrepreneurial spirit, commitment to excellence and collaborative approach will enable the Velocity Transport team to remain agile and flexible when delivering solutions. We look forward to providing an exceptional experience to the shippers and carriers in our rapidly evolving marketplace,” Lower added.

About Velocity Freight Transport, Inc.

Velocity Transport was born out of the industry’s need for a different kind of freight brokerage company—one built on integrity and principle, not just profitability. Modeling its core values after those held by its highly regarded parent, McLane Company, Inc., a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway and a leading distributor to the grocery and food service industries, Velocity Transport is able to provide the speed and capabilities of a large brokerage house by leveraging McLane’s strong financial backing and industry expertise while still prioritizing the development of authentic relationships with carriers, customers, team members and stakeholders.
