We didn't read about trucking. We grew up in it.

Tony Elliot

Co-Founder & CEO

Tony grew up in a trucking family of small-fleet operators. He learned to drive, bought his first truck at 19, and ran it as an owner-operator for several years before adding trucks and growing to nearly 30. He closed that company in 2002.

From there, Tony worked for larger carriers and shippers while finishing degrees in philosophy and business, and even bought and ran one more truck along the way. He took that experience to PeopleNet, then spent ten years at Trimble Transportation after it acquired PeopleNet, designing software and leading consulting and product teams. A warehousing and distribution startup, a TMS company and an IT leadership role at Love's followed, before he started Medjay in 2025.

Eric Verdiguel

Co-Founder & CCO

Eric’s transportation career began behind the wheel. While in college, he started driving a truck for FedEx, and that is where his passion for driving, and for the industry, first took hold. From there he moved into dispatching, then into managing drivers, and eventually into teaching transportation technology systems to his colleagues and coworkers.

That work led him to Trimble, where he joined as a professional services consultant and worked his way up to national sales manager. He made stops at other TMS and technology companies focused on the transportation industry before teaming up with Tony to start Medjay.
