Nate Greer

Founder & President, Blue Ox Transport, Inc.

Nate Greer built Blue Ox Transport, Inc. from the ground up with a vision forged through firsthand experience. In 2014, he launched the company under the name Paul Bunyan Trucking LLC as an owner-operator hauling refrigerated freight between Minnesota, Florida, and Arizona. His dedication to reliability, safety, and steady growth soon expanded the business into a small fleet of owner-operators serving long-haul refrigerated lanes.

By 2020, Nate recognized an opportunity to evolve — shifting the company toward a home-daily model by partnering with FedEx Ground. This transition reflected his belief that professional drivers deserve both fulfilling careers and time at home with their families. Today, Blue Ox Transport operates a fully company-owned fleet, proudly supporting FedEx Ground with dependable linehaul service and a commitment to getting every driver home each day.

With over a decade of hands-on experience in logistics and transportation, Nate leads with a practical understanding of what it takes to keep trucks moving and teams motivated. He’s passionate about fostering a culture built on safety, integrity, and respect — ensuring that every driver and team member feels valued, supported, and part of something built to last.

Looking ahead, Nate’s vision is clear: to grow Blue Ox Transport into a 150+ truck fleet within the next decade, continuing to expand responsibly while maintaining the family-driven culture and reliability that define the company’s success today.
