About First Freight Carriers, LLC

Trusted Freight & Logistics Experts Since 2008

First Freight Carriers, LLC (FFC) is a U.S.–based freight and logistics broker providing complete end-to-end transportation solutions to importers, exporters, manufacturers, and freight forwarders worldwide.
Founded in 2008, FFC has built a reputation for dependable, transparent, and family-style service — treating every shipment as if it were our own.

Our Story

FFC was founded by Nathan and Ajay, two lifelong friends who shared the dream of building a logistics company rooted in trust, hard work, and customer care.
Nathan, originally from a business family in Mumbai, India, graduated with a Bachelor of Information Systems from Oklahoma City University and worked a range of jobs in the U.S. — from IT to restaurants to real estate — gaining the real-world experience that shaped his service-first philosophy.

Together with Ajay, Nathan registered First Freight Carriers, LLC on May 20, 2008. In the early years, they personally managed operations, dispatching loads and coordinating shipments while balancing full-time jobs. Their partnership thrived on mutual dedication until Ajay’s passing in 2012, after which Nathan carried forward their shared vision alone — growing the company organically through client referrals and word-of-mouth trust.

Today, Nathan leads FFC as a proud family man, husband, and father of two, still guided by the same values of integrity, commitment, and personalized service that defined its beginnings.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple — to be the most dependable and trusted freight and logistics company in the U.S., upholding integrity, delivering value, and providing seamless service to every client, large or small.

We aim to make logistics worry-free: from ocean and air freight to customs clearance, ISF filing, drayage, warehousing, transloading, and final-mile delivery. Our goal is to ensure every client experiences peace of mind about their cargo — knowing it’s handled efficiently, safely, and transparently.

Our Team

Behind every shipment is our dedicated team of logistics professionals who act as a direct bridge between our clients and the drivers who move their freight.
Each member is trained to treat clients as extended family, maintaining clear communication and prompt responses at every step of the process.

We value honesty, accountability, and long-term relationships over short-term profit. When challenges arise, we take responsibility, provide solutions quickly, and continue to earn trust through our actions. Our clients’ satisfaction is the reason we’ve grown steadily for over 15 years — without relying on advertising.
