OUR STORY
Veblen Freight Engineers, Inc. (DBA: Freight Engineers), located in Ashland, Oregon, first opened its doors in 2007. I should mention it was a garage door. That’s right! Our president, Joseph Sanders, began this journey with only his laptop, cell phone and a single-car garage (that doubled as his office). Joe had a vision that he could create a freight brokerage that not only mirrored but would truly epitomize his core beliefs and values. With that, Freight Engineers was born.
Our secret? There isn’t one. We went back to the basics (because they work). Our customers agree!
