R&J Logistical Division Inc
Rick Metzing started R&J Logistical Division, Inc. after spending some time in the freight industry and then in the automatic transmission business world. He learned that the trucking industry changed dramatically when he walked back into in 2009. So he decided to experiment and started an expedited trucking company. R&J Logistical Division, Inc. has been an Apex factoring client for eight years. Rick, a personable guy that likes to do business face-to-face with plenty of humor thrown in for good measure, enjoys the fact that Apex Capital and R&J are both based in Fort Worth.

Today, R&J Logistical Division, Inc. is a successful expedited trucking company delivering everything from oil field equipment to Las Vegas show lights – in a hurry!
Gumfory-Holdings-LLC
Don and Stephanie Gumfory of Burleson, Texas started their trucking company, Gumfory Holdings, through the Apex Startup Program. Now they are great Apex factoring clients. They recently celebrated their first year in business and as Don says, “We are blessed.” In that year they learned to nurture dedicated lanes (hauling milk) and be open to flexibility (hauling steel and cotton). Don kept Apex by their side every step of the way, from saving on startup fees because Stephanie is a veteran to saving big on diesel with the Apex TCS Fuel Card. Don, who left a steady company driver position complete with benefits because he wanted to be his own boss, hasn’t looked back one bit. He’s ready to put in the work to ensure more Gumfory Holdings celebrations.

Phillip Scherer formed his trucking company, Phillip’s Roadway Services LLC, through the Apex Startup Program in February 2018. He became an Apex factoring client in April 2018.

As Scherer works hard running his trucking company – he’s owner, dispatcher, and manager all in one – he admits he isn’t particularly picky about what he hauls. He takes on general freight, paper towels, toilet paper, motorcycles, even mail for the US Postal Service.
