COVINGTON, KY - BM2 Freight Services, Inc., a leading third-party logistics provider with nearly 20 years of experience serving the North American supply chain, is proud to announce the addition of Tim Hickey as Business Development Manager, focused on expanding the company’s services in the fresh produce sector.

Hickey brings more than a decade of experience in the produce industry, most recently serving as Vice President of North American Sales at Yentzen Group, publisher of Vision Magazine North America, FreshFruitPortal.com, and other produce-focused media platforms. Prior to that, he spent 10 years with Blue Book Services, where he helped hundreds of produce companies grow their visibility through strategic media and advertising.

While at Blue Book, Hickey worked closely with produce businesses across North America—visiting with members in person and assisting them not only with marketing solutions but also with rating guidance and the other business-critical services that Blue Book provides.

“When I was with Blue Book, companies trusted me with their sensitive business information—now they can trust me, and the team at BM2 behind me, to help get their produce shipments where they need to go, at the right temperature, and in the time frame they need,” said Hickey in the recent release. “BM2 has been moving produce for nearly two decades, and their commitment to transparency, 24/7 communication, and real-time shipment visibility is exactly what this industry needs. I’m excited to bring my produce relationships into a place where logistics meets follow-through.”

Founded in 2008 by a team with first-hand experience in produce shipping, BM2 Freight has grown into a trusted transportation broker serving multiple verticals, including Produce, Food & Beverage, Manufacturing, Retail, and HAZMAT. The company has built its reputation on exceptional service, vetted carrier relationships, and a relentless focus on communication and claims prevention.

“Tim’s deep ties to the produce industry and his reputation for integrity and professionalism make him a natural fit for our team,” said Matthew Mason, Principal at BM2 Freight. “He understands the stakes for produce companies and brings a solutions-driven mindset that’s aligned with everything we stand for.”

BM2 Freight offers a full range of services to produce shippers, including:

• Refrigerated and perishable FTL coverage across the U.S. and Canada
• A vetted network of carriers with proven experience in fresh produce
• 24/7 communication and shipment tracking
• Dedicated account management
• A proactive team approach to claims prevention and resolution

“I’ve spent my career building trust in the produce industry, and now I get to pair that trust with one of the most capable freight teams in the business,” Hickey added. “If you give me a shot, I’ll show you the BM2 difference.”

BM2 Freight is headquartered in Covington, Kentucky, with an additional office in Des Plaines, Illinois. The company continues to grow by staying true to its core values of integrity, accountability, and transparency — values that resonate deeply in the produce sector, where time, temperature, and trust all matter.
