Jason Burns, President of the CLDA & Corporate Development Director of Dropoff

Jason Burns is a passionate business leader in the Greater New Orleans community and the Same Day transportation industry. He is a native New Orleanian and a proud graduate of St. Augustine High School, receiving the distinguished “Purple Knight” Award, which is given to the best all-around student. Mr. Burns later became a student-athlete (football) at Vanderbilt University where he was a member of the SEC Honor Roll Team, selected as the recipient of the Head Coach’s Dedication Award and he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies in 2006.

Jason later returned to his hometown to assume a leadership role in his family’s business enterprises, including Burns Management Group (BMG), Global Parking Systems (GPS) and QCS Logistics (formerly Quick Courier Services, Inc). As a second-generation owner and President of QCS, Mr. Burns led the company’s resurgence by developing new service offerings, implementing a new technology platform, and expanding operations into new markets. These initiatives resulted in record growth and QCS was selected to the Inc. 5000 list as one of America’s fastest growing companies for four consecutive years. QCS was also recognized as a Top 100 Icon of Industry by ICIC (Initiative for a Competitive Inner City) in 2014. In 2020, QCS was acquired by Dropoff, a national same day delivery company headquartered in Austin, Tx.

Mr. Burns is also the managing partner of a boutique investment firm that focuses on commercial real-estate development and private equity investments. He recently founded InPacity, a startup digital freight broker that uses proprietary technology to automatically connect less than truckload (LTL) freight shipments to the available capacity within the final mile carrier network throughout the US.

Kevin Thompson – Founding Partner and Interim CEO of FleetDrive 360, Inc.

Kevin is also a founding partner and President/CEO of Treadstone US Capital, LLC since 2016. Treadstone US Capital is a Factoring company in the transportation sector based in Atlanta, GA. Before starting the two companies ingrained in Transportation I spent time as a business owner in the Insurance and Financial Services space, where I also acquired my Series 6 & 63. As a prior Medical Sale Representative, my desire for entrepreneurship grew and ultimately lead to starting my own business in 2014. My entire career has been centered around sales and building strong teams to provide an excellent customer experience. Being a strong leader, having integrity, and passion for success are things of importance to me.

Nic Sallis - CFO of FleetDrive 360, Inc.

Nic cut his teeth in small and medium-sized businesses serving the construction supplies marketplace. He specialized in identifying new markets and developing new product lines. In startup environments – everyone fights and no one quits. He have worked alongside engineers to develop new products, built sales teams, and managed operations for companies serving big-box retailers (Lowes, Home Depot, etc) and large manufacturers (Milwaukee Power Tools, Bosch). He’s taken product photos for catalogs, built websites, and led ERP implementation and integration projects. He also has a knack for scaling businesses and seeing around corners. When bringing a new product or program to market, a unique personality and work ethic are required and the diversity of his experiences is what brought me to the attention of Fleet Drive 360s management team.

Andrew has been overcoming adversity his entire life. From being the victim of a kidnapping as a child growing up in New York City to contemplating suicide as a young entrepreneur, he never gives up, always finding the “loophole!” willing to go above and beyond to win. 

Today the former pre-med student owns 15 Trucks, paid for in cash, and runs a successful multi million dollar local trucking operation. We went to visit Andrew at his warehouse and got to learn about his journey to success in the last 2 1/2 years and all the failures that proceeded along the way.
