As trucks roll across state lines and freight moves through cities and ports, I find myself taking a quiet pause today.
Not because business has slowed — but because my heart needed the space to reflect.
The 4th of July is more than fireworks, barbecues, or a day off work. It’s a reminder of what this country stands for — and what so many brave men and women have fought to protect.
As a hardworking businessman, I’ve had the opportunity to build M44 Transport from the ground up. I’ve felt the challenges of long nights, tight deadlines, and uncertain roads. But I’ve also felt the blessing of freedom — the freedom to work, to grow, to serve others through honest labor.
That freedom didn’t come cheap. It was earned by those who served — those who gave their time, their strength, and in many cases, their lives so people like me could chase a dream.
To every veteran and active-duty service member: thank you.
Because of your sacrifice, I can wake up each day and push forward.
Because of your courage, my son can see what resilience and opportunity look like.
Because of your legacy, we all have the chance to build something that matters.
At M44 Transport, we believe in serving with integrity, showing up with purpose, and never forgetting the privilege of our freedom.
As you celebrate this Independence Day, I invite you to pause — even just for a moment — and remember those who made it all possible. Let’s honor them not just with words, but with lives full of meaning, service, and gratitude.
Wishing you and your families a safe, peaceful, and reflective 4th of July.
With gratitude,
– Eddie Martinez
