Ken Korbel

Founder, XBASE1

About the Founder

Ken, Founder of XBASE1, is also the owner of a Texas based motor carrier company. His background spans over 30 years — including enterprise technology sales at IBM consulting Fortune 100 transportation and logistics accounts, payments and fintech, and CFO roles managing budgets exceeding $90M.

Development of XBASE1's A.C.E. platform is self-funded. His passion and desire to increase daily success of carriers is paramount to this venture. He is determined to work with all load aggregators to integrate ACE's load delivery mechanism for the benefit of their carrier clients.

Founder Vision

Through running his own carrier authority, Ken experienced the pressure of the spot market load boards, negotiations, driver multitasking — and an industry which just keeps releasing more TMS solutions that put downward pressure on the carriers with no carrier benefit.

Amazingly, the new trend is to funnel carriers back into loadboard/broker ecosystems — thus forcing carriers to manage an average of 5-6 logins, 2FA, time-outs, re-auths, which is highly fatiguing and stressful to smaller carriers who are simply wanting to book a profitable load.

A.C.E. was developed to solve this gap — and it does!

Our vision is to empower small and mid-size carriers to compete at a level with the largest carriers and dispatch organizations. By leveling the playing field through novel real automation, and not another Ai weekend warrior release, carriers will win more. We have over 1,000 hours of development spanning six months of continuous development and live field testing to prove it.

For carriers who prefer to pay a dispatch team, our XDesk is in final testing — and will revolutionize how dispatch teams work on behalf of their carrier clients.

Core Values

Carrier-first, always

Every decision starts with what a carrier needs to win the next load, not what's easiest to build.

Human judgment stays human

Technology should remove the grind, not the decision-making — the people running freight make the calls that matter.

Built from inside the business

A.C.E. isn't theory. It's built and used by live carrier authorities daily, who felt every one of these problems firsthand. Winning.

First, and staying first

First-of-its-kind isn't a slogan — it's a standard we hold every release to.

Advisory Expertise

Advises XBASE1 on security posture as the platform scales — identity and access management, application security, and the practical realities of protecting credentialed automation running against third-party systems. Also brings enterprise perspective on hybrid architecture and what partners at scale expect before they integrate.

"Having spent a career in the enterprise security and hybrid infrastructure design, I'm excited to help this team understand what it takes to build and integrate at scale. Working with a Founder who actually runs a motor carrier business and uses his own App daily is unusual and refreshing so I'm happy to help them get movement in the industry"

Business Development - Carrier and Dispatch Programs - Executive Coaching

Advisory Expertise

Advises XBASE1 on building the carrier and dispatch go-to-market motion — how to structure programs, price them, and run an enterprise sales cycle end to end. Brings extensive ERP and fleet-oriented IOT platform knowledge related to automotive and heavy equipment operators. Will provide executive coaching and sales team support.

"I've spent a career in enterprise business development and sales coaching, I'm thrilled to help this team build a go-to-market motion that communicates the A.C.E. value to 1000's of carriers. Truly a First of its Kind concept. Working with a founder who already knows the customer and is a customer and lives this business daily removes most of the guesswork, so I'm happy to help them move at a rapid pace in this industry."
