Lady Logistix is a byproduct of mentorship, investing in higher education, and perseverance.

Since launching in 2016, the company has scaled to a seven-figure business. However, the initial climb to the top presented its challenges.

Less than three years after launching her first trucking company alongside her husband, they went out of business because they did not have the proper education or resources. Although discouraging, the pair shifted their focus toward another business venture.

During this time, Simmons spent countless hours researching how she could become a freight broker. The pathway opened the door to a six-figure salary, working only part-time. From there, she knew there was much more she could accomplish within the industry.

“I was able to connect with an owner of a large third-party logistics company who hired me as a freight agent. In 5 and a half months, I was able to earn six figures working part-time. At that point, I knew I wanted to go all the way.” Simmons told AfroTech in an email interview.
