Mike Holloway is President and Chief Executive Officer of Blackhawk Transport, a trucking company in Beloit, Wisconsin, that specialises in dedicated contract carriage, taking over the running of customers’ private truck fleets, alongside regional and long-haul freight and, through its sister company Blackhawk Logistics, third-party logistics. Founded in 1990 with a single truck, Blackhawk now reports more than 650 trucks and some 800 employees.

Career Highlights

• President and CEO of Blackhawk Transport, named in that role by the City of Beloit in April 2025 and by Geneva Holdings Group on its company profile of Blackhawk.
• Leads a carrier that reports 650-plus trucks and close to 800 associates.
• Announced in April 2025 the company’s expansion onto a 13-acre site in Beloit’s Gateway Business Park, with a 10,000 sq ft office building and an 11,000 sq ft truck service building.

Professional Journey

Blackhawk Transport started in 1990 with one R-model Mack truck and three Raven flatbed trailers. It has since grown into an asset-based dedicated contract carrier: its core business is replacing the private fleets that manufacturers and distributors would otherwise run themselves, supplemented by market-to-market regional and service-sensitive long-haul work using dry vans, flatbeds, curtain-sides, drop decks and other equipment. A third-party logistics business, Blackhawk Logistics, LLC, was founded in 2003 and handles brokerage, freight and carrier management, freight payment and routing design. Geneva Holdings Group features Blackhawk as a company profile in its portfolio, with Holloway named as its President and Chief Executive Officer.

Holloway has described the company’s development in terms of that shift, saying it was founded with line-haul customer service as its focus and “evolved to include dedicated contract solutions and carrier management services,” adding that “as a dedicated provider, we know that our success is based on our knowledge of the customer’s business.”

In April 2025 the Beloit City Council approved the sale of a 13-acre parcel at 2001 Gateway Blvd. to Blackhawk, which had been leasing its space in the city, together with a development agreement for a new office building, truck service building and parking. The agreement includes a site-preparation grant and a ten-year property tax rebate tied to keeping 46 full-time positions and adding six more by the end of 2036. “At a time that most of our competitors are contracting, we’re excited and thankful to be growing nationwide,” Holloway said, crediting the Beloit area’s skilled labour market.
