Chief Executive Officer

Go FreightMate

Richard Marthens is the Founder and CEO of Go FreightMate, a logistics technology company reshaping the future of last-mile freight delivery. With a career that bridges traditional logistics and modern innovation, Rick has spent decades building and managing successful ventures in both office furniture distribution and regional trucking.

Recognizing the inefficiencies in how local freight moves, he envisioned a smarter, more transparent system that connects shippers and drivers seamlessly through technology. That vision became Go FreightMate—an intelligent platform designed to make every delivery faster, traceable, and more cost-effective.

Rick’s leadership combines hands-on operational insight with a forward-looking approach to digital transformation in logistics. His experience gives him a unique vantage point on how technology can empower small carriers, streamline fleet management, and create equitable opportunities in the modern delivery ecosystem.
