Andrew Silver and Matt Vogrich have joined Mastery Logistics Systems as EVPs, bringing their expertise and experience to the table.
Andrew Silver's journey in the freight industry began early, working for his father, Jeff Silver, at Coyote Logistics when he was just 16 years old. This upbringing laid the foundation for his future endeavors.
Co-founding MoLo Solutions in 2017 with Matt Vogrich, they led the company to rapid growth, achieving $20 million in gross revenues in its first year. In 2018, MoLo was acquired by ArcBest for $420 million.
Acquisition by ArcBest:
In September 2021, ArcBest acquired MoLo Solutions, aiming to bridge the gap in its long-term goal of expanding its asset-light operations.
The acquisition significantly boosted ArcBest's consolidated annual revenue to $4.1 billion, with asset-light operations accounting for 44% of total revenue.
However, in March 2023, ArcBest made the surprising decision to terminate Andrew Silver and Matt Vogrich from MoLo Solutions.
