John Adams is a career transportation and logistics leader with over two decades of hands-on experience in freight operations, driver management, and compliance.
He founded Adams Express Inc. (AEX Freight) in 2010 and grew it into a regional LTL and TL carrier with warehousing and cross-dock capabilities throughout the Northeast.
In 2025, John aligned AEX Freight with Haulistic as an Independent Agent Station, offering customers nationwide capacity and cutting-edge TMS technology while maintaining personal service and integrity.
