Brendan Mitchell
Applying for Seat 03 · Licensed property freight broker
I am a transportation and logistics professional with nearly 10 years of experience across brokerage operations, carrier management, sales, and compliance leadership. I currently serve as Senior Compliance Manager at Windmill Transport, where I lead initiatives focused on carrier qualification, DOT/FMCSA compliance, fraud prevention, cargo theft mitigation, and transportation risk management. Throughout my career, I have held roles in sales, account management, corporate operations, and compliance, giving me a broad understanding of freight brokerage operations. My experience includes developing compliance policies and SOPs, evaluating carrier qualifications and safety performance, reviewing authority and insurance requirements, strengthening risk assessment processes, and implementing safeguards that promote safe and secure transportation. I am interested in serving on the Council because I believe improving transportation safety and preventing freight fraud require practical standards, collaboration, and evidence-based decision-making. I would bring a working brokerage perspective and firsthand experience developing risk controls that promote carrier accountability, protect shippers and the public, and support regulatory compliance. My goal is to help advance standards that strengthen safety, security, and trust throughout the transportation industry while remaining fair and effective for legitimate businesses.
