A decade of trucking experience leading the association forward.
A trucking industry professional since 2016, Mr. Zhang has spent nearly a decade on the front lines of American freight — operating fleets, running a brokerage, managing dispatch, and solving the complex problems that small carriers face every day. He founded Ascendant to give hardworking operators the expertise, resources, and community they deserve.
From paperwork to dispatch to freight — licensed professionals take care of it so you can focus on the road.
