About FreightVana
FreightVana is a tech-forward power-only freight brokerage founded in 2021 by former Knight-Swift Transportation executives Shannon Breen and John Gamero (Co-CEOs), headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, and ranked #97 on the Transport Topics 2026 Top 100 with $155 million in gross revenue and $20 million in net revenue (12.9% net margin). The leadership team also includes Don Everhart (CTO) and Lars Ward (VP Business Development), all from Knight-Swift backgrounds.
Per Transport Topics 2026, FreightVana moves dry van truckload as a primary mode, with active reefer, flatbed/heavy haul, and air/expedited. The company's distinctive model is power-only brokerage — FreightVana owns the trailer pool (1,000+ trailers) and brokers power capacity to carriers, providing drop-trailer pool capacity across Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, and increasingly nationwide.
For shippers evaluating FreightVana, the strongest fit is high-volume drop-trailer programs in the Southwest expanding to nationwide — particularly retail, manufacturing, and CPG shippers who benefit from drop-and-hook efficiency vs. live-load operations. The fast-growing tech-forward model is differentiated in a market dominated by traditional non-asset brokers; the trade-off is a younger company (founded 2021) with shorter operating history than peers.
