Bradley S. Payton grew up in Auburn, Indiana, and graduated from DeKalb High School in 1997. Right after school, he joined the United States Marine Corps, went through boot camp and mapping school, and was sent to Iraq, where he was injured by an IED and later honorably discharged in 1999. After coming home, Bradley started Rooter Express Inc. and ran it until 2006, then received his CDL Class A and worked as a truck driver before buying his first semi and leasing on with Tennessee Steel Haulers. In 2010, he started Payton & Son Logistics Group LLC as an owner-operator and later drove private tour buses for music groups like Diamond Rio & Jelly Roll. In 2017, he built Rocky Top Sand & Gravel in Waverly, Tennessee, growing from one old dump truck to a fleet of 17 new Kenworth T680s. After closing the company in 2023 and moving back to Indiana, he went back to trucking with Hot Shot freight, restarted Payton & Son Logistics Group in 2025, and the same year founded Titan Freight Solutions, driven by Marine Corps values — reliability, honesty, and a mission-first mindset — to serve the U.S. government and military.
Mrs. Payton dedicated over 20 years to the dental field as a clinical and operations manager, known for her keen attention to detail and ability to keep complex systems running smoothly. She’s now co-founder of Titan Freight Solutions, a freight brokerage that helps the U.S. government and military move freight of all kinds — from routine shipments to time-sensitive, high-security loads — with reliability, transparency, and integrity.
