As the Chief Operating Officer for ITS Logistics, Mike Crawford plays a pivotal role in strategic planning, leadership initiatives, and all day-to-day business operations of the company.

A charismatic leader and former pro athlete, Mike has 20 years of experience in the logistics industry. He joined ITS Logistics in 2012, starting his journey in the company as a strong sales presence in Dedicated Fleet Services.

Shortly afterwards, Mike was offered the opportunity to take over the asset-lite transportation service line in January 2013.

The division was small that first year but has been on an accelerated rate of growth ever since—eclipsing $1 billion of revenue in 2022 and ranking as the #19 Top Freight Brokerage firm in North America by Transport Topics magazine.

Prior to joining ITS, Mike started successful businesses in real estate, mortgage banking, and logistics.

Growing up in the Lake Tahoe region, Mike was a small-town athlete, and his determination led him to be a walk-on to the University of Nevada Wolf Pack football team. He ended his college career as team captain and MVP of the Las Vegas Bowl, before being drafted into the NFL. He played 3 years for the Miami Dolphins and Minnesota Vikings before deciding to walk away from football in 2002 on his own accord due to concerns about his long-term health.

Mike is heavily involved in giving back to the community and donating his time to local Northern Nevada schools and sports teams. When he’s not working or volunteering, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three daughters at the lake or in the mountains.
