Good morning! Join us for another Tuesday Spotlight newsletter, featuring the newest episode of the FreightCaviar Podcast and a new Carrier of the Week.
We sit down with Anes Balic, Director of Sales and Business Development at Balic Transport Inc, based in Denver, Colorado.
Trucking has always been in Anes' blood. Born in the U.S. to Bosnian parents, he spent his summers there as a child. Growing up, he often traveled the roads with his father, an OTR truck driver, who went on to open Balic Transport Inc., a Denver-based trucking company, in 2007. What began as a family-run business in a small office – with his mother taking on the role of accounting, and Anes behind the wheel – the company soon took a leap of faith.
In 2016, after attending a conference and connecting with a legal advisory and management firm specializing in outsourcing services, Anes and his father were inspired by the opportunities they discovered that day and decided to outsource to Bosnia. They made it their goal to support their homeland and contribute to the community by creating jobs in the area. Today, Anes splits his time between the U.S. and Bosnia, managing operations and nurturing the company's growth.
