GoAL Expands in Louisiana with New VP and Baton Rouge Office

Gulf of America Logistics (GoAL), a 100% Louisiana-owned capital projects specialist, has appointed Jake Minner as Vice President of Operations – Specialized Transport and Trucking and opened a new Baton Rouge office, increasing its statewide network to four locations.

Minner brings 17 years of heavy-haul experience and will lead GoAL’s asset-based transportation operations from Baton Rouge. The firm’s offices now serve Bossier City (corporate headquarters), Baton Rouge (heavy-haul operations), Lafayette (Gulf Coast and offshore logistics), and Rayville (northeast Louisiana industrial services).

GoAL is securing port facilities near Sabine Pass and Cameron LNG terminals and has exclusive trucking agreements along the Gulf Coast, giving clients direct asset control amid tightening equipment availability.

Founded in 2025, GoAL counters the influx of out-of-state logistics firms, keeping capital, employment, and decision-making local. CEO Brent Patterson, a U.S. Navy logistics veteran, emphasised that GoAL hires Louisiana people to serve Louisiana projects, ensuring no offshore profits or divided loyalties. Co-owner Rock Bordelon highlighted the commitment to building a sustainable state economy for future generations.
