About Defense Forward
Defense Forward is a California-based freight brokerage built on deep transportation operations experience. We coordinate shipments nationwide by matching shipper requirements with qualified, federally authorized motor carriers, emphasizing compliance, reliability, and continuous monitoring to reduce theft and service disruption risk.
The company’s owner began his career in 1997 as a truck driver hauling flatbed, refrigerated, and dry freight. He advanced through carrier dispatch, maintenance shop manager, safety director, and general manager roles. In 2023, he founded Defense Forward to provide brokerage services grounded in real-world transportation execution and compliance discipline.
