Our Team

After decades working in freight logistics, Joel Plotsky came to understand the true value of customer service in an ever-changing, high stakes industry. In 1995, he launched Blackjack to provide shippers and carriers with a new, unmatched level of reliability, competency, and dedication. Together with Alex Renko, another seasoned veteran with over 20 years of operations experience, he created a business focused on building lasting partnerships and ensuring clients’ success day after day.

How do we do it? We know teamwork is more than a buzzword – it sets us apart. In our industry, it’s impossible to go it alone; if you want to move forward, you have to do it together. For employees, we provide a workplace where everyone is supported, valued, empowered, and accountable, and where there’s always room for laughs. For clients, we’re much more than logistics experts; we’re committed pros who go the extra mile to move their businesses ahead.
