From our founder

Why I started Summit Link

David Parsons

Founder & President

David Parsons is the founder and president of Summit Link Logistics. Before starting the company, he spent more than 20 years as a shipper and built and led service businesses, so he knows both sides of the freight relationship: what shippers need, and what it takes to deliver it.

I spent more than 20 years on the shipping side of freight. I know what it is like when a load runs late and nobody calls, when a quote changes after the truck is booked, and when your own customer is waiting on an answer you do not have yet.

I started Summit Link Logistics to be the partner I always wanted. That means communicating early, taking ownership and following through, for every shipper we work with and every carrier who moves freight with us. We call it the Summit Link Way, and it is how we plan to earn your trust, one load at a time.

Freight Needs Accountability.

Founder-led means the person who built this company is involved in how your freight is handled.

Our story

Built to be a dependable freight partner

Summit Link Logistics was founded to give businesses a dependable, professional freight brokerage partner. Our focus is simple: connect shippers with reliable carrier capacity while delivering the communication, responsiveness and execution companies expect from a trusted logistics provider.

Our vision is to become the partner customers turn to because they know our people, trust our word and can count on our follow-through. We are building Summit Link to serve shippers across U.S. markets, one relationship at a time.

How we work day to day is written down in the Summit Link Way: five commitments we hold every load to, with shippers and carriers alike.

Track record

A new company, experienced people
