Leadership & Team

Anthony M. Apa Jr.

President / Owner

Tony Jr grew up in the transportation industry working for the family business. When he was old enough to drive he was given a job working in the warehouse loading and unloading trucks. Then when he turned 18, he obtained his CDL license and started to drive straight trucks on regional delivery routes for some house accounts such as Temple Inland and US Food Service.

Tony then went off to college at Western Michigan University where he walked on to the football team and later earned a scholarship. Tony obtained a degree in Integrated Supply Matrix Management, a cross degree between the business school and the engineering school with an emphasis on supply chain, logistics, and process improvement management.

After college, Tony went to work inside the office of the family business. He started out as a dispatcher, working his way up to Vice President and helping the company grow revenue 400% in 4 years. He then helped construct the deal that led to the sale of Fore Transportation Inc. After the sale, he took a position as Branch Manager for the Chicago office of Roadlink USA, the nation’s largest intermodal drayage provider. After about 8 months he realized the corporate environment was not where he fit, and saw the opportunity to open a third-party logistics management firm called Mark-It Express.
