Jacob Brewer
Veteran freight brokerage executive with senior-level experience at nationally ranked brokerages. After years of building the pricing models and margin structures that brokerages use to maximize their own revenue, Jacob founded The GTC Group to apply that same intelligence for carriers.
His work at GTC focuses on reviewing carrier lane data, calling brokers and shippers directly, and renegotiating rates using brokerage-side pricing frameworks. He also leads GTC's dedicated sales operation, building direct shipper relationships that eliminate broker dependency.
Jacob writes about the real costs of running a carrier operation, where fleets are leaving money on the table, and what it actually takes to compete in a market structured for larger players.
