AFS Logistics Appoints Andy Dyer as New CEO
AFS Logistics has announced the appointment of Andy Dyer as its new Chief Executive Officer. With over 25 years of experience in the supply chain and transportation sectors, Dyer brings a wealth of expertise to the role. His notable career includes more than two decades at XPO Logistics, where he served as Senior Vice President of Managed Transportation. In this role, he managed operations, sales, and support functions for $2.36 billion in annual freight under management. Prior to joining AFS in 2020, Dyer was President of New Age Logistics, where he achieved over 20% year-over-year growth.
Brian J. Barker, Founder and Chairman of AFS, expressed confidence in Dyer’s leadership: “Andy has been a key player in our growth and the expansion of our managed transportation services. His extensive industry experience is crucial for advancing AFS to new heights.”
Before becoming CEO, Dyer held the position of President of Transportation Management at AFS. His leadership was instrumental in AFS receiving the prestigious 2024 Quest for Quality Award from Logistics Management. This accolade, a benchmark for performance excellence, evaluates third-party logistics providers on carrier selection, order fulfillment, transportation distribution, inventory management, and logistics information systems.
Dyer emphasized the importance of team and data: “While data is essential, it is the dedicated, talented people who interpret it that make the difference. Our team is why AFS is a trusted transportation advisor. I am excited to lead them as we strive for even greater success and growth.”
AFS Logistics serves nearly 1,800 companies across the U.S. and Canada, providing optimized logistics solutions that deliver measurable results. The company also publishes the TD Cowen/AFS Freight Index, a quarterly report offering insights into past market performance and future transportation rate forecasts for full truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), and parcel shipping.
In 2022, AFS expanded its footprint by acquiring DTA Services, Ltd., becoming the largest freight audit and payment company in Canada. This acquisition bolstered AFS’s capabilities in freight bill auditing, cost allocation, and analytics.
