Speedy Freight is excited to welcome Daniel Nebus to the franchise system as the brand continues expanding across the United States with a new territory in Jacksonville, Florida. Daniel brings a diverse entrepreneurial background spanning logistics, fitness, insurance, and franchising. His business ownership journey began within the logistics industry as a franchise owner with Unishippers, where he gained early experience in freight, operations, and customer relationships. He later owned and operated a 24-hour fitness club, successfully navigating the challenges of the housing market downturn before selling the business in 2013. Daniel also became the first franchisee in Florida for ILKB.com, demonstrating his willingness to embrace emerging concepts and expand into new markets. Following that chapter, he transitioned into property adjusting before launching and operating a Goosehead Insurance agency. Over the past year, Daniel remained focused on identifying the right long-term business opportunity, conducting extensive due diligence across multiple industries before ultimately returning to the logistics sector with Speedy Freight. With his broad operational experience, entrepreneurial resilience, and relationship-driven mindset, he is well-positioned to build and grow the Speedy Freight brand throughout the Jacksonville market. Speedy Freight continues to stand out within the logistics space through its consultative sales model, centralized operations support, proprietary technology systems, and scalable business structure. As a full-service third-party logistics provider, franchisees can offer same-day courier services, full-truckload freight, international shipping, and project cargo solutions while operating with minimal overhead and strong operational support.
