CEO
My name is Demetrius Martin Owner of “250 Logistics” a transportation company out of Greenville, SC. After finishing trucking school I landed a position at a local sanitation company making only $500 a week. Soon realizing that would not provide enough financial stability for my family, I took a leap of Faith and invested 12k (borrowed & Saved Funds) into myself. In just 4 short years I turned 250 Logistics LLC from 1 owner-operator Semi-Truck grossing 8k a week to a Fleet 20 Units grossing over 100k weekly. 250 Logistics LLC is now a multi million dollar Family business. Now my focus is on expanding the 250 brand. Me & my team have created a platform to teach aspiring entrepreneurs how to start and grow their transportation business. 250 Academy is able to catapult your business to the next level with or without owning a truck.
