Who Is Behind This Program
LEGION
1
Kevin Burns
President & Founder  ·  Legion1 Logistics

Army Officer  ·  1st Infantry Division  ·  Special Forces Task Force Legion  ·  Blackhawk Pilot.

Former GE Vernova Onshore Wind executive managing $600M+ in annual logistics — moving wind turbines, data center hardware, and oversized industrial freight across North America for over 14 years.

Kevin built this program because he watched 88M soldiers separate and take $50K standard CDL jobs when their HET experience was worth double that in the private sector. He knows exactly what Tier 1 carriers want — and he built the bridge to get you there.
