Perseverance Led Nomad Transport Inc. to Hard-Earned Success
Ivana Salipur, president of Nomad Transport Inc. in Aurora, Colorado, has been an Apex factoring client since 2022. Nomad, which she founded with her husband Slavo Mladen in 2019, is now a successful trucking company with six trucks and a dedicated carrier contract with Miller Brewing Company. But that success has been hard-earned for Ivana and Slavo. Shortly after getting their trucking authority, Nomad lost a lot of money with a broker whose identity was stolen. Then, they endured more than a year of losses and legal issues with their former factoring company. Their story is all about perseverance, surviving, and ultimately thriving.
