Our Story

Built from the
road up.

Alex Krstic didn't start Spin in a boardroom. He started it on the highway — after years behind the wheel, a lot of hard miles, and a conviction that drivers deserved something better.

The Founder

Meet Alex Krstic.

Before Spin Logistics existed, Alex Krstic was out there doing what you do — long hauls, early mornings, nights away from home, and miles that most people never see. He drove for years, learning the industry from the seat that matters most: the driver's seat.

Along the way, he didn't just learn the roads. He learned the trucks. Alex taught himself how to maintain and repair his own rig — because when you're out there alone, you need to know how things work. That self-sufficiency shaped everything he would later build.

What he also learned was harder to accept: that the trucking industry too often treats drivers as a commodity. Not as the skilled professionals they are. Not as people with families waiting at home. Just as a means to move freight.

"My goal was to build a company where drivers feel respected, supported, and heard — and where safety and communication remain central to how we operate."

— Alex Krstic, Founder & CEO, Spin Logistics

So he built the company he wished had existed when he was driving — one where the driver always comes first.

How We Got Here

The road that led
to Spin.

The Early Miles
Alex gets behind the wheel
Like a lot of drivers, Alex started with a CDL and a hunger to work. He ran OTR routes, learned the rhythms of the road, and developed the kind of situational awareness that only comes from putting in serious miles. He wasn't just a driver — he was paying attention to everything.
Learning the Machine
He learns to maintain his own truck
Most drivers call someone when something breaks. Alex figured out how to fix it himself. He developed hands-on knowledge of truck mechanics and maintenance — a skill that would later become one of Spin's defining advantages. When you understand the machine, you know how to take care of the people who depend on it.
The Decision
Alex decides to build something different
After years of seeing how carriers treat their drivers — the lack of respect, the poor communication, the equipment that never gets maintained right — Alex had seen enough. He didn't want to complain about it. He wanted to fix it. So he started building the company he always wished existed.
Spin Logistics Founded
A driver-first company launches in LaGrange, IL
Spin Logistics opened its doors with a simple but radical premise: put drivers first. Every policy, every hire, every piece of equipment would be evaluated through one lens — does this make life better for the people behind the wheel? Eight-plus years later, that hasn't changed.
our in-house repair & towing operation
In-house maintenance becomes a reality
Alex's hands-on mechanical knowledge led directly to one of Spin's most important investments: our in-house repair & towing operation, the company's own dedicated shop. No more waiting on third parties. Breakdown coordination support. Just fast, quality work from a team that knows these trucks inside and out.
Today
Still growing. Still driver-first.
The mission hasn't changed. Spin is still a company where drivers are heard, respected, and supported — with 24/7 dispatch, late-model equipment, and a founder who picks up the phone. The road ahead is wide open.
What Driver-First Actually Means

Not a slogan.
A standard.

You Are a Person, Not a Number
At Spin, we know your name. We know your situation. We know what you need and what you're working toward. You're not a unit of output — you're a skilled professional and a human being, and we treat you like one from day one.
24/7 Dispatch — Real People, Real Help
The road doesn't run on business hours, and neither do we. Our dispatch team is available around the clock — staffed to support drivers with operational needs. A real person who knows you, knows your route, and is invested in getting you what you need right now.
Equipment You Can Count On
We invest in late-model Volvos and Cascadias because we know the condition of your truck directly affects your quality of life. And we maintain them ourselves — so when you pull out of the yard, you're not wondering what's going to break down at mile 400.
Your Life Outside the Truck Matters
You have a family. You have a life. We get that — because our founder lived it. Every driver's situation is different, and we work with you to find something that keeps the wheels turning without running you into the ground.
Safety Is a Core Priority
Safety isn't a compliance exercise at Spin — it's personal. Alex drove those roads. He knows what's at stake. Every pre-trip inspection, every maintenance check, every dispatch decision is made with one goal: safe operations are our goal.
Flexibility Built Around You
No two drivers are the same, and we don't pretend otherwise. We have a real conversation with every driver we bring on — about what they need, what works for their life, and how we can build something that lasts. You tell us. We listen.
Safety First. Always.

Every driver
goes home.

That's the standard we hold ourselves to. Alex built Spin with the understanding that the road is serious business — and that a company that truly respects its drivers has to back that up with action, not just words.

Safety at Spin means daily pre-trip inspections, policies designed to support DOT/FMCSA compliance, and trucks that are maintained before there's a problem — not after. It means dispatch that works with drivers to evaluate options consistent with safety and applicable regulations. It means a culture where speaking up about a concern is encouraged, not penalized.

Because at the end of every run, there's a family waiting. And that's what we're really protecting.

Daily Pre-Trip Inspections
Drivers are required to complete pre-trip inspections and report any concerns before operating. If something isn't right, we fix it before it becomes a problem on the road.
DOT/FMCSA Compliance Support
We maintain policies and procedures designed to support compliance — not because we have to, but because responsible operations protect everyone on the road.
Proactive Maintenance
Problems caught in the shop are problems that don't become emergencies at highway speed. Our in-house shop supports proactive maintenance.
Dispatch That Works With You
Our dispatch team works with drivers to evaluate operational options consistent with safety, company policy, and applicable regulations.
Always There

24/7 dispatch.
Real people.
Real support.

The road doesn't stop at 5pm, and neither do we. When you're out there at 2am and something goes sideways, you need a real person — not a voicemail box, not a ticketing system, ready to help coordinate support.

Our dispatch team knows our drivers. They know your name, your route, and your situation. That's how we built this, and that's how it stays. Because when you need backup, close enough isn't good enough.
