In this episode of the ThinkFreight Podcast, I sit down with Ricky Gonzalez, CEO and Co-Founder of HubTek, to dive into his entrepreneurial journey in the freight industry and how his passion for technology and logistics has shaped his career.
Ricky shares his background, starting from his early days in Miami’s freight forwarding sector, where he worked his way up to second in command before venturing into the world of brokerage.

Ricky explains how HubTek was formed to combine staffing solutions with cutting-edge technology, driven by his love for tech.

We explore Ricky’s entrepreneurial spirit, what inspired him to take the leap into starting his own business, and how his experiences in freight forwarding and brokerage have fueled his drive to innovate.
