History

A Foundation in Teamwork

Charlie Coffey, a former college football head coach, knows the importance of quality players with team commitment. It’s the foundation of any great football team and the cornerstone of every successful business. In 1981, Charlie Coffey set out to create a new type of Logistics company. He wanted to establish new standards of service through “partnering” with companies to meet their transportation and logistics objectives. With that vision, he founded Nationwide Express.

Nationwide Express has consistently demonstrated a long-term commitment to excellence. Mr. Coffey’s business philosophy and vision has been maintained by both his sons: Michael, CEO, and David, President. Over the years, they have instilled this vision into all of Nationwide Express associates. The desire to be the best-in-class, to go above and beyond to ensure the satisfaction of our customers has been and will always be the guiding principle for each Nationwide Express associate. Since 1981, we have consistently “raised the bar” when it comes to providing superior service and we are proud to say that our significant corporate growth is the direct result of our ability to constantly analyze the latest trends in the transportation and logistics industry and then respond to them effectively.
