History

Reliance Partners was founded in 2009 by Andrew Ladebauche and a group of Chattanooga logistics entrepreneurs.[1] The company initially focused on the transportation space before expanding to other verticals. Reliance expanded to offer warehousing and other commercial lines insurance in 2010. In 2013, the company relocated offices to Warehouse Row in downtown Chattanooga. In August 2015, Reliance Partners appointed Andrew Ladebauche as CEO and hired Chad Eichelberger as President & COO.[2] Eichelberger previously served as President of Access America Transport and President of Brokerage with Coyote Logistics.[3]

In November 2015, Laura Ann Howell joined the team as Vice President after working for Thompson Appalachian Hardwoods where she also founded a trucking company and freight brokerage [4] Reliance Partners relocated to the Cornerstone Building in Chattanooga in December 2015 to accommodate additional growth. A Birmingham, Alabama branch opened in December 2016. The branch is led by former Access America Transport Vice-President, Eddie Claridy.[5] In March 2017, CityScope Magazine featured Reliance Partners in "8 Companies to Watch" due to their innovative culture and strategy in a traditional industry [6]
