Our People
Brent Forbes
Brent Forbes is the president, owner, and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BLC Transportation. Brent was a former driver and has been in the transportation business since 1999. Prior to the transportation industry, Brent was in the dairy business, and is no stranger to hard work. BLC Transportation came to fruition in 2006 with only 5 trucks. BLC joined in a partnership with Prime Inc. in March of 2007. Prime Inc has a power only group called the Advanced Fleet, and through the partnership with Prime the company has grown to 100 trucks. Brent takes pride in treating employees and drivers like family, and continues to call drivers by name and not a number. When Brent is not in the office he can often be found in a deer blind in the woods, but truly enjoys his family and time at the lake.

Liz has a teaching background and prior to working in the trucking industry she spent 10 years teaching middle school and college classes. Liz’s favorite job is being a mom to her three kids.

A strong believer in the power of positive thinking, Liz enjoys empowering drivers with positive energy on a daily basis. Liz takes pleasure in her family, lake time, and a good Netflix binge, but can also be found in fitness and yoga classes on a daily basis.
Roy Zook
Happily married to my wife (Sherrie) of 20 years with 2 daughters (Heidi & Paisley) and 1 (Jessica) from a previous marriage. I have been lucky enough to have coached football and other sports, earned my degree and have been in education (wife still is.) My experiences have enabled me to have a great network of friends and to become a diversified person and problem solver. Growing up in transportation I’ve been a traditional owner operator pulling oversized/specialized/van and reefers for my family business and others while always learning the ins and outs of the industry. As a leader, I know that teamwork from every aspect of an organization is what leads to everyone being successful in all parts of life. My hobbies include Purdue University, sports, cooking, spending time with my family, smoking foods, and the Indianapolis Colts. With a positive outlook, teaching and coaching experience I know we can help others become successful transportation business men and women.
