AFC Transport names logistics president

Kyle Ingraham has joined specialized carrier AFC Transport as president of its logistics division. AFC Logistics, a spinoff of AFC Transport, was launched in 2016 to provide a broader scope of service to their customers. 

Founded 10 years ago in the Chicago-area, AFC Transport has grown into a nationwide-hauling operation currently serving more than 100 customers, including 15 Fortune 500 companies and is a certified woman-owned company.

"Kyle's past experience with scaling and growing sales and operations teams to execute at a high level of customer service is exactly the asset we need here at AFC Transport," said AFC Transport CEO Steven Maly. "He can help us strategically grow our office footprint and revenue as we execute on our business plan."

Part of that business plan is to expand outside of Oak Brook, Illinois, by finding the right people throughout the country and developing the business in those areas. In fact, the company is planning to establish its main operating facility in Tampa, Florida in early 2022.

Throughout his career in transportation, Ingraham has been involved in all aspects of the business from sales to operations to recruitment, with a focus on customer acquisition and retention, as well as streamlining processes.
