Cecil Stallard — Founder at Argus Logistics

Cecil Stallard is a core senior advisor to Argus. Cecil founded the best-in-class logistics management firm TPS Logistics in the early 1990’s. Cecil was one of twelve children of David Stallard, a coal miner, and his wife Opal. Cecil moved to Michigan where he began in transportation as a route driver for Railway Express (REA). Beginning in 1965 Cecil was promoted rapidly through the ranks of sales to the vice president of national accounts at REA.

In 1974 Cecil resigned REA and joined a small group to establish Burlington Northern Air Freight (BNAFI) that became known as BAX Global and has since become a part of Schenker. Cecil succeeded there as the vice president of national sales.

In 1982, Cecil founded Central Air Freight as president and part owner. In little time he established a worldwide operation and grew at a pace which exceeded the growth rate of any prior air freight company in the world. His industry knowledge remains the source for humble advisement.

Cecil and his wife Susan reside in the Carolinas and are actively engaged in various organizations as board members and major donors to various charitable organizations, such as Detroit’s Presidents Organizations, World Presidents Organizations, local Rotary Clubs, The Boys and Girls Club, Power Cross, local Museums and their church.
