I'm Buck Tufty, a licensed Freight and Household Goods broker with 12 years of industry experience. I grew up in Portland, OR, where my first love was athletics. My initial dream was to play professional soccer, and I attended the University of Louisville, where I competed in the National Championship match in 2010. After graduating college and starting a family, I realized professional soccer was no longer a viable path.
I fortuitously stumbled into the logistics field, initially searching for a salaried sales job with a commission opportunity. In 2013, I began brokering freight for XPO Logistics, where I learned the ins and outs of the brokerage business and built strong relationships with transportation professionals, including carriers, shippers, and everyone in between. During this time, I created and managed a book of business doing over 8,000 shipments annually.
In 2019, I left XPO Logistics, registered for a Motor Carrier number and DOT number, and started a freight brokerage, Hot Rate Freight For the past 6 years, I have specialized in Expediting Freight, leveraging my core carrier network of Sprinter Vans, Cargo Vans, Box Trucks, and Straight Trucks. I also use these trucks to coordinate Household moves for people locally in Louisville and across North America. In 2023, we completed over 2,000 shipments of goods for individuals and businesses, and we are well on track to surpass that in 2024.
My goal is to bring transparency to the Moving industry by utilizing GPS tracking tools and providing customers with options based on their specific needs. I always give clients the choice of having their goods moved on a dedicated truck or on a consolidated truck for a more cost-effective solution. I am committed to this business for the long haul, ensuring that every shipment matters and that clients get the service they deserve.
