AGX 5th Anniversary – Letter From the CEO
This year marks a special milestone for AGX Freight, the celebration of the 5th anniversary of our start. In June 2016, we launched AGX to make our mark in the vast asset-light domestic freight transportation market, incorporating a culture we have since defined as the “AGX Freight Life.” An upstart group of teammates and committed professionals have grown into a full-service transportation and logistics network today now capable of meeting the needs of virtually any enterprise seeking shipping services.
It Began With a Promise
We founded AGX Freight with a promise to build a company that would ensure every team member would be given the opportunity to succeed, maybe even achieve their greatest success. By keeping our word, AGX Freight is a high performing and trusted freight transportation and logistics trading partner to customers, carriers, and drivers. We made it our core mission to continuously deliver a superior customer experience through service excellence. Our promised vision remains unchanged. After 5 years, I can report that our American Dream for our Freight Life is alive and well!
The Right People, Aligned With Purpose
Make no mistake, it takes talented people to build a competitive company in the domestic freight transportation market. People make the difference. Over the years, I have had the honor and privilege of working with some of the most talented transportation and logistics professionals in the industry. What I admire and respect most about many of my past and present colleagues is our shared commitment to service excellence. An understanding that what matters most to our freight customers is an exceptional service experience throughout the lifecycle of each shipment and the relative excellence and consistency of our on-time, damage free, deliveries. The integrity of all phases of the customer experience can only be achieved when the entire team is aligned in purpose and committed to excellence. With a solid 5-year track record of results as proof, we have surpassed many of our initial performance targets through a collective effort, a dedicated work ethic, and by always doing what’s right for our stakeholders.
Looking Ahead
In the coming years, we will continue to invest in our core mission. While automation from advanced technology systems will continue to lead the headlines, we remain confident that building the best team, powered by the right technology systems, is the winning approach.
If recent history has taught us anything, it’s that the world is predictably unpredictable. Those organizations able to remain committed to a sound purpose and mission will be best positioned to persevere through any challenge, and use adversity to learn, solve, and grow stronger.
To wrap it up, it has been our adherence to the foundational principles of our Freight Life ethos: safety, integrity, loyalty and empowerment, that defined our first five years and will be the path forward as we continue to build the future of the AGX Freight Life together.
With many thanks and gratitude,
Mike Williams, AGX Freight – CEO
