About full tilt logistics
Reno, Nevada, often celebrated for its vibrant culture and scenic beauty, holds a less-known yet critical position in the national logistics and transportation framework. At Full Tilt Logistics, we understand and embrace the responsibility that comes with being a part of this dynamic industry hub.
Reno's strategic location is not just a boon for its local economy but a significant driver in national logistics. Situated at the crossroads of major transportation routes, including the intersection of I-80 and US-395, Reno serves as a vital conduit for goods moving across the country. This prime location enables faster, more efficient transportation of goods, directly impacting the efficacy of national supply chains.
At Full Tilt Logistics, we leverage this geographical advantage to offer superior transportation services. By utilizing Reno’s strategic position, we ensure timely and efficient delivery of goods, contributing significantly to the smooth operation of the national logistics network.
Reno’s trucking sector is pivotal in supporting the national supply chain, especially for west coast distribution. The city's proximity to major ports and its role as a distribution center for the western United States underscores its significance in the broader logistics landscape.
Companies like Full Tilt Logistics play a vital role in this system, ensuring seamless integration and reliability in the supply chain. Our commitment to excellence and efficiency makes us a trusted partner in meeting the diverse logistics needs of businesses across the country.
The trucking industry in Reno is not just a logistical asset but also a significant economic driver. The sector creates numerous jobs, both directly and indirectly, contributing to the local and national GDP. As a part of this thriving industry, Full Tilt Logistics is proud to contribute to the economic growth and stability of the region.
The ripple effect of a robust trucking industry extends beyond transportation. It stimulates broader economic activities, including manufacturing, retail, and more, cementing Reno’s role as an economic powerhouse.
The trucking industry is ever-evolving, and Reno's sector is at the forefront of embracing these changes. Full Tilt Logistics stays abreast of industry trends, from technological advancements to shifts in supply chain management, ensuring we remain ahead of the curve.

Cris Novich, Managing Director of Full Tilt Transportation, recently participated in a three-person expert panel discussing supply chain issues effecting the global, national, and local economies. The event was sponsored by the Commercial Real Estate Women (CREW) organization and brought together experts to discuss supply chain issues.
The worldwide supply chain has been severely disrupted due to several factors including supply chain shortcomings, increased fuel costs, winter weather and COVID. The phenomena has been called The Everything Shortage and has resulted in product scarcity and increased prices. It’s also spurned innovation in utilizing alternate sources and a movement from offshoring to onshoring.
The panelists discussed the current state of the supply chain and what they predict for the immediate and long-term future of the shipping and delivery market. Audience participation included many questions and comments. Full Tilt Logistics and Transportation continues to be an innovative and forward thinking industry leader that customers look to for solutions.

The last twelve months have been game-changing in many ways with most industries and businesses either adapting to the new normal or going out of business. Good, hard-working people have lost jobs or had to live with reductions in income because of Covid-19. Many have become ill or died because of the pandemic. As companies try and adjust to increased regulations and risks, tough decisions must be made quickly.
At Full Tilt Logistics and Full Tilt Transportation, we have adapted and are moving forward in a more strategic way. Because of our strong family foundation, we have survived and are beginning to claw our way back. This pandemic put our companies in survival mode, and it is telling how you react when it is sink or swim. We are so proud and thankful for the strong family unit and wonderful employees working at Full Tilt. Our drivers, dispatchers, schedulers, account managers, brokers, and support staff have gone above and beyond, and we wouldn’t be here today without all of them.
As many of our long-term customers faltered, scaled back operations, or went out of business we developed stronger partnerships with the survivors to get through this together. We are seeing an uptick and a rising from the ashes for many customers. They all know they can count on Full Tilt and we have been a true partner and resource for many. We continue to offer creative solutions and unique opportunities to our customers.
During the past twelve months, we have redoubled our efforts to improve our effectiveness and efficiency as they relate to solving unique customer problems. We have invested significant dollars on new software and technology and the associated training for our employees. All done to improve service to our customers and encourage our employees to make the extra effort and go the extra mile to solve customer problems.
The pandemic has hit truck drivers especially hard. If truck stops are full and rest areas aren’t open, long-haulers may be forced to stop and sleep in unsafe spaces. Truck drivers are working hard but they need to park, rest, and take advantage of the facilities at rest stops. There is no doubt the US would not get through this pandemic without truck drivers. They are the unsung heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic that are holding the supply chain together. Without their willingness to work around the clock to deliver the supplies needed to restock America’s shelves, the country would grind to a halt.
As they are working, truckers are also doing their best to keep themselves healthy. While many people can stay home and protect themselves from COVID-19 exposure, truckers are not so lucky. Every day they put their lives at risk when they get into their rigs and go about their business. Thank a trucker when you see one.
At Full Tilt every customer, big or small, is important. We promise to provide the highest level of service available anywhere at a fair price. Contact Full Tilt today for a true business partner to handle all your companies freight and transportation needs.

Although Full Tilt Logistics and Full Tilt Transportation are women-owned companies, there is no doubt who the big diesel engines are that power the organizations. Co-owners and brothers Nic and Cris Novich are the drivers of the bus. Everyone has their strengths and lanes of responsibility, but the Novich brothers are truly the leaders of the rapidly growing companies.
These two brothers have been closely connected their entire lives. Nic, the oldest helped found Full Tilt Logistics in 2014 and convinced younger brother Cris to join him in 2017 and create Full Tilt Transportation. The lifelong trust between the brothers cannot be emphasized enough, they have each other’s backs when things get hectic as is usually the case in a freight brokerage, trucking, and transportation business. Although the brothers work closely together operating the two companies, they arrived at this business partnership in different ways.
Older brother Nic runs Full Tilt Logistics. He has worked with several large freight brokerage and transportation companies and was a key contributor in starting two brokerages before founding Full Tilt Logistics in 2014. He has experience and a thorough knowledge of the business. His sales ability and customer service skills are exceptional because he is honest and smart with a healthy dose of common sense. He is a high-energy, whatever it takes to get the job done leader and is the true visionary of the companies. He has always had and still does have a true vision of where Full Tilt will be in ten years, thinking several steps ahead of his business partners and employees. When we think things are going well and running smoothly Nic wonders “what if we did this” or “have you seen the latest technology” or “what if we bought a new building”. Without his knowledge of the industry and continuing to push the envelope, Full Tilt would not be where it is today.
Younger brother Cris runs Full Tilt Transportation. He joined the business in 2017 and was responsible for starting Full Tilt Transportation, the asset-based component of the organizations. Cris is the numbers guy and was a successful Financial Advisor prior to joining the family business. With his leadership, the company has grown to eighteen power units and over forty 53’ dry van trailers. Although decisions must be made quickly, Cris’s planning and organizational skills ensure the company stays on track. Cris can often be found with a phone in each hand and five computer monitors in front of him. He is constantly focused on reducing operating expenses by finding fuel discounts and better insurance rates for the company. He recruits and hires drivers, develops business relationships with existing customers, and sells Full Tilt services to prospective customers.
Nic and Cris's passion and dedication to Full Tilt is always on display and with their leadership, our employee base has grown and we now boast some of the best, well-trained employees in the business. Leading by example, supporting employees and providing them with opportunities to grow with the business have been key in recruiting and maintaining a competent workforce. Employees have the authority and are encouraged to take chances and make decisions to serve the customers' best interests. Nic and Cris are always available to support their employees when they need it. The brothers constantly check in with our customers to see how things are going from their side. In these conversations, we often hear how great it is to work with Full Tilt because customers can always reach an owner for a prompt response to a question or to get a problem solved quickly.
Although the success of Full Tilt is a major part of their lives, maintaining a solid family unit is most important to Nic and Cris. They are both wonderful fathers and husbands and are able to balance work and family effectively. Of course, both of their spouses are also part owners of the companies, so Full Tilt truly is a tight-knit family operation.
If you're looking for a career in logistics and transportation, Full Tilt is looking for dedicated, hard-working people to join their team. At our rapidly growing Logistics and Transportation company, we provide an engaging and constructive environment for all employees. Our customers love us and our employees plan to stay with us. Connect with us and see why Full Tilt is one of the top-rated places to work in the logistics industry.
Thanks to our many loyal customers and our excellent service, Full Tilt Logistics and Full Tilt Transportation were able to continue our upward trajectory in terms of growth and employee hiring in 2019. We have been blessed this year with healthy families and robust business growth. Year over year Full Tilt Transportation is up 17% while Full Tilt Logistics posted a steady 8% growth. In addition, we were able to create additional jobs in the Reno area by bringing on five new employees.
Our owners have deep roots in the local community, spanning four generations, and have watched the area grow from a dusty gambling town to a rapidly growing energized city with high tech companies such as Google, Switch, Tesla, Microsoft, and others locating in the area. Also, the revitalization of several areas of the city, unlimited outdoor recreation, and available job opportunities have driven the population growth and the desire to live in the area. With increased growth, comes issues such as traffic, housing and the need for additional community services.
As business owners and stewards of our community, at Full Tilt, we understand that contributing and giving back to the community is as important as growing our business. This year we were able to help many organizations through financial contributions, volunteer hours, and in-kind contributions. Some of them include:
In addition, Full Tilt was awarded the prestigious Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN) Employees First Award which recognizes companies that have invested in innovative programs to retain, develop, encourage, and reward existing employees and have implemented special programs that support the hiring of members of the National Guard, Reserve or Veterans.
Our President and CEO, Tiffany Novich, was also selected as one of the 20 young business leaders under 40 years of age that have made a significant impact on the local business community.
We are fortunate to live and work in such a vibrant and dynamic community and feel blessed to be able to continue growing our business and giving back to the community that has made our companies successful.
