Shawn McLeod, Axle Logistics President, said the company is committed to creating jobs and retaining “the country’s best and brightest” in East Tennessee.

“Now, they’re growing so fast, they’re investing in an 85,000-square-foot new building next door,” Kincannon said. “Axle Logistics is the kind of company we want in Knoxville. They’ve been recognized as a top workplace, and this expansion represents hundreds of new high-paying jobs.”
Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs said the third-party logistics company, which began with two University of Tennessee alumni, has “grown exponentially” in the past decade.
“Not only does our area benefit from this expansion, but it also illustrates the importance of keeping talented UT graduates here in our region,” Jacobs said.
In addition to its Knoxville headquarters, Axle Logistics has a satellite office in Chattanooga. Founded in 2012, the company serves transportation companies across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
