Ben Emmrich and Joe Lynch discuss the Tusk Logistcis story. Ben is the Co-founder and CEO of Tusk, a small parcel shipping network driving value through lower prices, faster deliveries, and great service.
Ben Emmrich is the Co-founder and CEO of Tusk. Ben has spent his career at the overlap of small parcel shipping and ecommerce and led operations and strategic partnerships at Google Shopping and Shippo before building Tusk. Having seen the small parcel industry from many angles -- as an operator, software provider and start-up -- Ben is a firm believer that any small parcel delivery provider's sole focus should be on making a meaningful, honest impact for its shippers and that volume follows value.
Tusk puts professional shippers first, unlocking previously unachievable savings and offering peace of mind with reliable technology, easy integrations, and great service. Founded in 2021 by Ben Emmrich and Adam Hipp, Tusk expands the possibility for shippers by connecting them to a national network of regional parcel carriers that offers reliable, predictable service at a significant savings – usually 30-40% lower than UPS or FedEx. Tusk instantly lowers shipping costs with pre-negotiated rates, eliminates “new carrier headache” with easy integrations and offers superior, proactive shipper support.
Tusk Logistics got its name because Ben's daughters love the song Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
