The Voice of Freight
Real conversations with the people moving the world's goods.
Ana Bothwell
Host & Founder
Ana Bothwell didn't just study the freight industry — she built it from the ground up. At 18 years old, she launched her first trucking company, and spent the next decade owning and operating her own fleet. She knows what it means to be the carrier at the table.
After 10 years running trucks, Ana moved into freight brokerage, spending 5 years connecting shippers and carriers and mastering the art of the deal. From there, she expanded into the 3PL space, owning and operating a warehouse that handles distribution, order fulfillment, and cross-docking.
Today, Ana also owns Driver 411, Trucker Jobs, and Freight 411 — technology companies built to serve the freight community she's been part of her entire career. Having sat on all three sides of the table — as a carrier, broker, and 3PL — she brings a perspective to The Freight Exchange that very few hosts can match.
