The Visionary Behind the Movement
Jett McCandless, founder and CEO of project44, has spent over 25 years working in the logistics and delivery space. He has witnessed firsthand the challenges that shippers and carriers face in managing complex supply chains. With a vision to transform the industry, McCandless set out to create a platform that would provide real-time visibility, transparency, and optimization capabilities.
The Birth of project44
The name "project44" is inspired by Route 66, a legendary American highway that connects Chicago, Illinois, to Los Angeles, California. In the 1950s, Route 66 was bypassed by Highway 44, which was designed to accommodate the growing demand for transportation infrastructure. This new highway became the catalyst for connecting a growing nation and supply chain. McCandless saw parallels between this historical event and his vision for project44 – connecting shippers, carriers, and consumers through a seamless supply chain experience.

McCandless assembled a team of industry experts, technology visionaries, and ambitious individuals to bring his vision to life.
