Robert McGrady — General Manager
Robert McGrady has spent over 30 years in freight — 16 of them behind the wheel as an OTR driver, and 18 as an expedite broker. Most brokers have never driven a load. Robert has. He knows what a driver walks into at 2 AM, what information they actually need, and where the communication gaps that kill shipments usually live. He’s been with AB&M Logistics for over a decade, focused on ground expedite and time-critical freight where the margin for error is zero. Robert is also the host of Freight After Midnight, AB&M’s YouTube series on expedited logistics.
