Mike Solomon Becomes TI Consultant

Mike Solomon, well-known transportation broker, has become a consultant to the industry.

In March of 2004, Mike sold his business to BNSF Logistics, wholly owned subsidiary of the BNSF Railroad. He was asked to stay on as VP of Sales and Marketing. Instead, Mike took a year off to recuperate from the lingering effects of an automobile accident.

Deciding exactly how he wanted to come back i to the industry, Mike decided to use all he had learned in creating and selling a successful business, as a consultant to other transportation intermediaries. He created Solomon Consulting, LLC, he explained, “to try and give back something to the industry which has been so good to me.”

Mike's specialty is to come in and review operations and advise the client how to improve productivity, margins, make dispatch more efficient and then market the operation to customers, carriers and/or buyers.

Tracing his career in transportation, Mike noted, “I started my first brokerage in 1981 and sold out to a large company in St. Louis , Mo. Then started MRS about a year later. In both cases, I got top dollar when I sold the company. To the best of my knowledge, no one is doing the same thing I am.

“Also, I was in national account sales for 40 plus years and still have a lot of contacts.”
