Ah.. it feels good to be back ..

“If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.”

It’s been 30+ years working, learning, succeeding, failing, and gaining experience to finally do something on my own. I feel fortunate to finally become the sole owner of a company. After six months of searching for an ideal company to acquire and another four months of due diligence/deal closing, I am excited to announce that I have acquired United Transportation through a newly formed entity called Graxon Logistics.

After my work at Uptake and being entrenched in logistics and transportation sector, I became captivated with this space. The possibilities for greater innovation, efficiency, transparency to the end customer, driver satisfaction, and safety were (and continue to be) endless. Over this three-year period, I had a unique opportunity to interface with OEM’s, dealers, operators, and drivers. Every level had me intrigued on the problems we were solving and solutions that could still be developed. During my evaluation process and search, I purposely narrowed it down to something niche within the industry. It needed to be service oriented with massive expansion opportunities worldwide. United Transportation became the obvious choice.

I am taking the torch from a visionary founder, Ricky Singh He has been a true professional, partner, and friend throughout the transaction. I’m deeply honored and humbled to build on the incredible foundation he has created over the past 15 years. His dedication and passion have shaped United Transportation into what it is today. With our amazing team, I’m excited to explore new opportunities, embrace challenges, and continue creating value for our customers, partners, and community.

I want to thank Tom Keenan for the introduction to Ricky and joining me on this journey. Tom has close to 30 years in warehousing, logistics, and trucking. He will be an unbelievable asset to help with nurturing our existing customer base and assisting me with rapid expansion. In addition, I want to thank Scopelitis and Byline Bank for assisting me with closing the transaction. Finally, thanks to my wife, family, friends and mentors in my network that I relied on for advice and critical feedback.

I couldn’t be more excited to be in our O’Hare warehouse and get my hands dirty. If ever around the area and want to see the operation in person, let me know….

It’s GO time!
