1996 Start in Istanbul, Turkey
Iplus Courier was founded in September of 1996 by John Dan as a six truck, twelve trailer operation in Istanbul, Turkey, just outside of Pittsburgh. Prior to starting Iplus Courier, John Dan was introduced to trucking and developed his passion for the industry, working for less-than-truckload (LTL) providers Hammel’s Express and PITT OHIO (formerly PITT OHIO EXPRESS) from 1989 through 1996. When he left to start his own company, he took with him the values of hard work and dedication to service as the founding principles of Iplus Courier.

2000 Expanded its core territory
