The Problem Every Courier Owner Deals With (No Matter the Size)

Air freight compliance is one of the most misunderstood parts of the courier world, and it can cost you big if you get it wrong. In Episode 5, I sit down with Ralph Perrothers, Founder & CEO of On-the-Go Cargo (NY/NJ), to break down the real-world shift from expedited air freight to local on-demand after 9/11, how AOG (aircraft on ground) freight works, and the TSA compliance stack every operator needs to understand: IAC (Indirect Air Carrier), STA (Security Threat Assessment), training requirements, and agent compliance. We also get into a debate that matters more than people realize: courier vs carrier and what our industry should be calling itself. 02:01 — Intro: Ralph Perrothers + On-the-Go Cargo 03:26 — What OTG does: expedited air freight → local on-demand 05:41 — Why air freight changed before/after 9/11 08:11 — AOG (Aircraft on Ground): why urgency is REAL 11:31 — Media logistics: “then vs now” (cases → digital) 14:11 — Ralph’s origin story: starting at 17 + learning fast 18:21 — The early career path (Choice → AAA → PDQ → GM) 22:51 — Scaling a small courier: $500K → $3.5–$4M in ~2.5 years 26:11 — Why hiring “close relationships” can burn you (hard lesson) 29:11 — Building balance: complementary verticals (air + local + medical) 32:06 — Day-to-day challenges: attendance, software, ops waves 35:11 — XLA vs CLDA: what’s different (express vs cartage world) 39:11 — Courier vs Carrier: why the words matter 43:11 — TSA 101: IAC explained (what it is + why it exists) 47:11 — STA + training requirements (and why fines happen) 52:31 — Agent compliance + why the system needs modernization 56:11 — Varu: what it is + how it helps (digital compliance + transfers) 59:21 — The CLDA push: direct regulation, fewer silos, better verification 01:04:21 — Personal side: fatherhood + priorities 01:08:11 — Ralph’s “Last to First” moment(s) 01:11:41 — Final takeaways + wrap Guest: Ralph Perrothers, Founder/CEO, On-the-Go Cargo   / ralph-perrothers-96554bb   Markets: New York / New Jersey (expanding to Florida in early 2026) otgcargo.com 👉 Subscribe on YouTube:    / @last2firstpodcast   🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3gDS58w... 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/hn/podcast... 🏈 Join the Huddle: www.l2fhuddle.com 📌 Shoutout to our Sponsors!
