Our Story
We Won’t Stop
Until the Job
Is Done.
Jake Mohundro began his career in transportation in 1976 and helped build Sonic Delivery around a single insight: when something absolutely has to get there, the standard freight system isn't built for it. He was right — and companies have relied on that gap ever since.
From a shipment for Michael Jordan completed in 3.5 hours to critical parts keeping TVA power plants running, Sonic has earned the trust of clients where a missed delivery isn't an inconvenience — it's a shutdown.
Raytheon. General Dynamics. U.S. military facilities. Nuclear operations. These aren't accounts won on price — they're relationships built on the fact that Sonic has never failed to deliver when it counted.
