About us: History

Forward thinking: the AFN success story.

The success of AFN has largely been driven by the vision of our founders, Ryan Daube and Michael Nervick. Based on their knowledge of and experience in the industry, they saw an unmet need—a company committed to complete customer satisfaction. In such a rapidly growing and changing industry, adapting to the needs of the customer is crucial for success. With that in mind, AFN was founded in January 2003.

Success came quickly—we nearly tripled our revenue by the second year. And our success continues. In just three years, AFN has grown from 3 to over 100 team members. We've grown over 40% each year.

Headquartered in Deerfield, Illinois, AFN has the capabilities to manage all modes of transportation on a global basis. With established partnerships and a network of transportation companies offering a wide array of niche services, we're ready to meet any customer need with a customized solution.

We continue to stay focused on the future—always seeking new, better and unexpected solutions to drive our customers' business forward.
