Meet Samuel Markin | Freight broker

We had the good fortune of connecting with Samuel Markin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Samuel, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I am a father of 2 boys, and I like to teach them about great value, integrity, honesty and great work. I worked in the customer service as a Volkswagen and Audi parts consultant, parts manager for decades. I started my business in the logistic, to provide logistical services in the most professional and progressive manner, and to deliver those services in a friendly, no-nonsense, customer-focused approach that will set

I started my business during the time the covid-19 was winding down a bit, I always like helping people, make new connection business-wise, but getting in the logistics business was completely new to me and I was never good at leave my comfort zone and jumping in something new. But my wife was really supportive and a real cheerleader.
I have learned not to procrastinate, if you have to do something, just jump in and start. I gave myself a chance by putting my thoughts into action.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I will take them to Newfields Indianapolis Museum of Art, Inc., doing business as Newfields, is a charitable foundation that operates a museum. The foundation was formerly known as Art Association of Indianapolis and changed its name to Indianapolis Museum of Art, Inc. in January 1969. Indianapolis Museum of Art, Inc. was founded in 1883 and is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. And after getting us some tickets for a football game at Lucas Oil Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. It replaced the RCA Dome as the home field of the National Football League’s Indianapolis Colts and opened on August 16, 2008. The stadium was constructed to allow the removal of the RCA Dome and expansion of the Indiana Convention Center on its site. It is located on the south side of South Street, a block south of the former site of the RCA Dome. The stadium’s naming rights belong to the Lucas Oil corporation. The venue also serves as the home for the Drum Corps International Championships. Architectural firm HKS, Inc. was responsible for the stadium’s design, with Walter P Moore working as the Structural Engineer of Record. The stadium features a retractable roof and a large retractable window on one end, allowing the Colts and the Indy Eleven to play both indoors and outdoors. The field surface was originally FieldTurf but was replaced with Shaw Sports Momentum Pro in 2018.
And go and eat something at Bier Brewery Bier Brewery has racked up over 96 medals in state, national, and international competitions. This brewery makes pinpoint, precise, perfect versions of typically European style beers with a few hazy and American pale ales thrown in for fun.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
To my wife who supported and believe in the business adventure even more than me. The motivation for us as a family is to spend more time together and also be with the kids as much as possible. To all our friends who have been with me and the great support they provided. We are all sometimes so busy in our lives and routine working 8 to 12 hours a day outside of home and sometimes even spending more time with our coworkers than with the kids. So, this is what really motivates me to redefine my career at 46 years old so I can change my busy life. Start a business, work for myself and try to build something that leaves a legacy to my boys. I want to imitate the good example that my father left.
