Ryan Russ
Over 15 years of inside and outside B2B sales experience, an extensive data and logistics analytics background from big brokerage. I graduated from the University of Kansas in 2002 with a degree in Psychology, I have always enjoyed meeting new people and hearing their story. Before co-founding White Rhino Logistics, I was in data analytics for Freightquote and a business development executive for Full Stack Technologies. I have an entrepreneurial spirit and a passion for cultivating relationships that drive value and deliver results. When I'm not brokering freight, I enjoy spending time with my wife, my 6 year old son and 18 month old daughter. My hobbies include fishing, camping, sports and music.

My freight journey began almost 20 years ago. After playing football for The University of Nebraska's 1997 National Championship team, I transferred to Kansas State University to study literature and linguistics. I wanted to go on to graduate school to get my Master's degree but I didn't want to go into debt so I obtained my CDL and became an over-the-road truck driver. Not long after I started driving, I began taking on newly hired truck drivers and would train and live with them for 7 week stretches in my Freightliner. After driving for 3 years, I met my future wife and decided that I wanted to be at home more than 34 hours a week and found a job in sales for a large freight brokerage company. After working there for over a decade, I eventually decided I wanted more operational control over my book of business, so I partnered with Ryan Russ and we started White Rhino Logistics. When I'm not brokering freight, I enjoy spending time with my wife and twins. My hobbies include mountain biking, fishing, listening to jazz, and reading.
