EagleOne Logistics

EagleOne Logistics, privately owned by Greg Hasley, is recognized as a company in a hurry.

The logistics and transportation provider was named, for the second time last year, by Inc. magazine as one of the “Fastest Growing Companies in America.” It ranked No. 371 by posting 87 percent growth in revenue. In the past three years revenue has grown 382 percent.

EagleOne handles logistics for expedited shipments, warehousing and distribution with a primary focus on managing daily routed courier deliveries. It offers coverage to 27 cities in eight states. In Arkansas, it has offices in Jonesboro, Little Rock and Springdale in addition to its Fort Smith office. It operates more than 500 courier routes serviced by independent contractors.

“Customers have fueled our growth,” Hasley said. “Customers are always on our minds.”

Incorporated in 1994, EagleOne started as a small, local courier service storing and transporting documents. Hasley showed health care operators that using his services for delivery of hospital goods could save them money. Health care remains a primary component of the business, but it now serves clients in a wide variety of fields, ranging from office supply deliveries, warehousing and distribution, freight and retail and whole pharmaceutical deliveries.

EagleOne operates a full-time 24/7 call center, Customer 1st, to meet the needs of its clients.

Fast growth creates its own set of problems. Hasley leads the company in focusing on infrastructure needs to keep up with the growth. The company even developed its own proprietary software to maintain communication with the pharmaceutical industry. The key, Hasley said, is not letting revenue growth outpace the service.

“We want to be a problem-solver for our customers.”
