JACKSONVILLE, FL - Vertex Transport LLC, a Jacksonville-based, non-asset transportation company, will celebrate its 10 year anniversary in September, 2016. Since its launch in 2006, Vertex has handled more than 65,000 domestic and international shipments covering a total distance of 45 million miles with an estimated weight of 2.6 billion lbs.  While much of this was for truckload over-the-road freight, it also included less-than-truckload, intermodal, expedited, air and ocean shipments. “We are pleased to be an established transportation company for a diverse group of shippers and are also proud to call Jacksonville our home,” said Mike Steele, president & CEO, Vertex Transport LLC.  Vertex currently employs 12 people and ramps up to nearly 20 during peak shipping periods.  Its staff has more than 75 years of combined transportation and logistics experience.     While Vertex deals largely in food and grocery-type dry freight, it has the skills and carrier base to handle all types of freight across all the major transportation modes. Vertex Transport LLC is a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) third-party brokerage and logistics provider serving the continental 48 states, Canada and Mexico.  Its carrier base comprises a wide range of experienced, safety-first motor carriers who control a large variety of rolling stock.  These extensive resources enable Vertex’s seasoned freight experts to cover virtually any transportation need and take advantage of Vertex’s status as an EPA SmartWay Partner.
