With nearly 30 years of experience in the freight industry, Cody Cross of HVMC Transportation knows a thing or two about what it takes to succeed in this demanding business. "I’ve been doing this long enough to not look both ways before crossing the street," Cody quips, showcasing his trademark humor and down-to-earth personality.
But his story isn’t just about longevity—it’s about resilience, efficiency, and a commitment to doing things the right way, even when the industry gets tough.
At one point, Cody managed a large fleet but realized the importance of having the right tools to support growth and efficiency. "I couldn’t find a TMS that was simple to learn to use and did what I wanted it to do," he shared.
Fast-forward to today: Cody’s operations are streamlined, and he’s focused on scaling efficiently. Thanks to Alvys TMS, he’s confident he can expand his operations easily. "I could probably do 50 trucks with just me and one dispatcher using this system. Everything’s visual. If a load cancels, no problem. I just drag and drop and start rearranging loads," he explains.
Cody’s work extends beyond transportation. He’s actively involved with the Fallen Hero Network, a cause that’s close to his heart. The Fallen Hero Network is dedicated to supporting the families of first responders and military personnel who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Through financial assistance, emotional support, and community outreach, the organization ensures that these families are not forgotten.
The Fallen Hero Network has made a significant impact in its mission to honor the memories of fallen heroes while providing real, tangible support to their loved ones. Cody’s contributions include organizing events, assisting with logistics for fundraisers, and using his platform to raise awareness for the cause. "It’s not just about honoring those who have served," Cody shared. "It’s about showing their families that their sacrifice matters and that they’re not alone."
This dedication to giving back reflects Cody’s core values of community and compassion. HVMC Transportation embodies this spirit, striving not only for operational excellence but also for making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
At Alvys, we’re proud to spotlight partners like Cody who not only move freight but also take the time to support meaningful initiatives. It’s this kind of leadership and community spirit that inspires us every day.
As Cody continues to grow HVMC Transportation, we’re thrilled to support his journey. With Alvys by his side, he’s poised to scale efficiently and effectively—all while keeping his unique humor and perspective intact.
"I love what you’re doing," Cody told us. And we couldn’t agree more—we love what he’s building, too.
