Veterans in Logistics Launches at Broker-Carrier Summit

On Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at the Broker-Carrier Summit in Kansas City, a new initiative was introduced with a clear purpose. Veterans in Logistics was officially announced, bringing together service members and veterans from across the freight industry into one dedicated community.

The announcement carries personal meaning for the leadership behind the event. Dan Lindsey, Founder of the Broker-Carrier Summit and a proud Marine Corps veteran, and Charles Gracey, COO of the Broker-Carrier Summit and a Navy veteran, understand firsthand the value of shared experience, structure, and accountability. That perspective helped shape a community designed to extend beyond the event itself.

Veterans have long played a meaningful role in logistics, bringing discipline, problem-solving, and leadership into an industry that depends on all three. What has often been missing is a centralized space where those individuals can connect with others who share a similar background, both professionally and personally.

Veterans in Logistics is intended to close that gap. The goal is to create a place where relationships can form naturally, where knowledge can be shared more openly, and where veterans can continue building careers with the support of a network that understands their path.

As the Broker-Carrier Summit continues to grow, initiatives like this reflect a broader focus on building communities within the industry, not just hosting events. Veterans in Logistics is another step toward creating stronger connections that last well beyond a few days on-site.

More details on how to get involved will be shared soon. Those interested in joining Veterans in Logistics are encouraged to stay connected for upcoming announcements.
