Jim Grundy founded Sisu Energy on October 2, 2019, in Fort Worth, Texas, with a mission to empower the often-overlooked owner-operator in the trucking industry.

Jim began his career in Supply Chain in 2007 with JB Hunt, managing major accounts like Whirlpool and Amazon. He later joined TMW Systems as an Implementation Manager, where he recognized the untapped potential of technology in logistics. In 2012, he joined Halliburton, managing Supply Chain operations in the Northeast, before returning to Texas in 2014 as Director at 1845 Oilfield Services.

Inspired by the idea of creating a platform for owner-operators, Jim spent years developing the concept that would become Sisu Energy—now one of the largest pneumatic carriers in the oil industry. The company thrives on innovation, smart tech, and a core philosophy of Pay, Promote, Praise (PPP).

Sisu Energy and Jim have been featured nationally on Fox News, Tucker Carlson, CBS, NBC, ABC, and more for their unique, owner-operator-first approach to trucking—turning the “forgotten” into the forefront.
