Our Story
Our founder, Jeff Walczak, started working loading trucks while in college in Columbus, Ohio in 1986, for Roadway Package System (RPS). He would begin work at 4:00 in the morning, at an old Roadway open-air dock, in the winter, while it was -14 degrees. Oh yeah, he was loading 53' trailers bound for Miami.
So, how does this get in your blood? Well, this was just the start of a 16 year period that saw Jeff do everything from the loading trailers to being a dock coordinator, linehaul coordinator, sort manager, terminal manager and national manager of loss prevention.
Being around a lot of great, hard-working, hard-playing people is addictive. After FedEx Ground, Jeff worked in other industries such as the banking industry, but he longed to return to the thing that he knew and loved.
What better way to do it than to find some hard working people (see below), mix in our favorite hobby (technology), and create something that helps people working in this "not-for-wimps" business?
We have taken our know-how to create a Software as a Service that makes running a P&D or Linehaul business much easier. Being an FXG contractor has it's challenges. Our system helps you with paperwork, compliance and much more, so you can be on top of your business and run it as a professional.
