About Apex Transit

Built by a driver and an operator, one truck at a time.

Stan drove. Marina ran operations. Starting with one truck in 2012, they built Apex Transit into a women-owned, asset-based carrier and freight brokerage that moves freight across North America.

From one truck to a fleet

Built from the ground up.

As Apex grew, we brought experienced people into every key role. Today we run 90 late-model Volvo tractors and 500 dry-van trailers, plus a brokerage division and a network of independent freight agents.

We're still family-owned, with no private equity. The people who answer your call are the people who own the outcome.

Our story comes down to trust and doing the work. Those 2 things still decide how we treat every customer, driver, and agent.

Marina Ivanov, Owner

Marina co-founded Apex Transit and runs it as CEO. She organizes Women in Trucking North Carolina, speaks at events like the Broker Carrier Summit, and has spent years in Washington, DC advocating for truck parking and driver rights.

Where we're headed

Our vision

We want to be the carrier shippers trust with their hardest lanes, the agency home agents never want to leave, and the company drivers are proud to drive for. And we want to keep shrinking our carbon footprint while we do it.

Mission & Values

What we stand for.

Relationships matter more to us than any single load. You'll see it in how we hire, how we drive, and how we show up.

Trust

We treat your freight like it's ours, from tender to delivery.

Respect

Diversity is one of our core values. Our drivers, mechanics, fleet managers, and office team come from every background, and everyone gets respect.

Partnership

We build long-term relationships and earn the next load every time.

Ownership

We own our trucks and we own our mistakes. Every mile is on us.

Our Equipment

It starts with the equipment.

Apex is an asset-based carrier. We own the tractors, own the trailers, and maintain them in our own shop. Your freight moves on the latest Volvo VNLs, outfitted with the newest safety technology, including Volvo Dynamic Steering and inward- and outward-facing video monitoring.

Apex invests heavily in safety and the best equipment. When the steel on the road is yours, you build it right and keep it running, so a breakdown is never the reason your freight is late.
