I wasn’t supposed to be here. Let alone run a trucking company.
At 10 years old, I was diagnosed with cancer.
By 15, I’d lost my leg.
And somehow, that’s where the story really began.
I became a competitive swimmer. Trained for the Olympics.
Then life pivoted again and I found myself behind the wheel, building a freight company.
Today, I co-own Cordero Services Corp, a trucking business rooted in resilience, family, and doing things the right way.
I don’t have a traditional logistics background.
But I do know how to show up when it matters, how to adapt under pressure, and how to keep going when most would stop.
That mindset is how I run.
