Our History

American Expediting was founded in Philadelphia by Victor Finnegan, a University of Pennsylvania business student, as a one-person, same-day courier operation in 1983. Within a year his business was racing past competitors, and by 1988 was one of Philadelphia’s leading time-critical delivery organizations. Many of our people have been with us from the beginning, building the company into a premier national provider of specialty transport, logistics, storage and distribution solutions with a hard-earned reputation for excellence.
