Axle is a third-party logistics company that provides advanced logistics services to customers throughout the United State and into Canada and Mexico. It’s a major employer of Tennessee graduates and was founded by Vols alumni.
“From the onset of our journey to find the right partner in this evolving landscape, it was essential that we align with an organization that not only leads its field, but also embodies innovation, integrity, and a commitment to community. We found all of that in Axle Logistics,” said Tennessee AD Danny White via release on Tuesday. “Axle’s reputation for operational excellence and customer service has propelled them to the forefront of the logistics industry—not just in Knoxville, but across the nation. Their investments in technology and their dedication to supporting both employees and the broader community make them an ideal collaborator for Tennessee Athletics.”
