Mariner Logistics taps Flock Freight veteran as CEO

Mariner Logistics recently named Justin Turner chief executive officer, handing the integrated, asset-backed 4PL to an executive who spent the past decade scaling brokerages and freight technology companies. The new Mariner Logistics CEO takes over a Coppell, Texas, operation that runs trucks, warehouses, managed transportation and its own technology stack under one roof, serving manufacturing, aerospace and defense customers along with a growing book of data center freight. “Mariner has built something rare in this industry: an asset-backed 4PL with a real infrastructure, real warehouses, and the verification and visibility technology shippers now demand,” Turner said. From Coyote Dispatcher to Mariner Logistics CEO Turner’s early days started in the trenches of a freight brokerage floor. “I was an early employee at Coyote and started as a dispatcher, tracking and tracing shipments every day,” he said in an interview with FreightWaves.
