4 | Load One Transportation and Logistics more effective solutions to their customers. “Load One is an industry leader, and is constantly breaking new ground in the industry,” says President John K. Elliott II. “Our service team ensures our customers always get their best solution – whether that solution is in house asset based, third party, or a blended solution. We have the knowledge to get the job done.” When it comes to the transportation industry, Elliott has a family history dating back generations – his grandfather owned trucking companies, and his father was an industry executive – so he knows what he’s talking about. “I was baptized in diesel fuel, and brought up in the industry,” he jokes. “My first job was to sweep up trailers. I really learned by starting out at a summer job working in the shop. When I got to high school I got to move into the wonderful world of operations and dispatch as a clerk.” After he graduated college, Elliot went into aviation management for about two years. He delved back into the trucking industry after receiving an offer from a company that he just “couldn’t refuse,” he says. In January 2003, he struck out on his own and used all of his experience to successfully launch Load One.
