About

I build from the inside of the problem.

Entrepreneur, inventor, writer, survivor, and systems builder. For nearly four decades, I have built companies, technology, and practical resources around problems I understand firsthand.

Portrait of Jonathan Gloss

I started in logistics in 1986. I learned freight from the floor up: pricing, brokerage, carrier relations, operations, market development, NMFC classification, tariffs, discounts, and the long arc of an LTL shipment from quote to delivery. I built workflows before “workflow” was a software term.

In 1998 I launched LTLNET.com, an early freight network that put LTL pricing, carriers, and tools online. In 2001 I co-founded Sunteck and helped build a nationwide logistics network from the ground up. Those years taught me that the best systems do not replace human judgment—they help people see more clearly and act with greater integrity.

Today I am developing the modern LTL.com as a neutral, education- and transparency-first LTL ecosystem, and building My AI Logistics to apply AI to freight classification, B/L review, shipment planning, quoting, and decision support. I am not replacing the industry; I am building the infrastructure I wished I had.

A severe illness, osteomyelitis, Charcot foot, and a right below-knee amputation in 2019 reshaped my understanding of accessibility, patient experience, and what technology owes the person using it. That lived experience led to My Shower Leg and AmputeeGuide.com—a free, experience-informed resource for amputees and caregivers, not a substitute for professional care.

I am also a male survivor of abuse. My book, Abused Male — How I Got Here, is a personal account offered as a source of understanding, not a credential or a claim to authority. It supports AbusedMale.com, a free resource for men who need a place to begin making sense of their experience.

For decades I have studied Hermetic philosophy, Rosicrucianism, Martinism, Kabbalah, Jung, and Steiner. That work is serious study, not supernatural proof or religious authority. Through AI Hermetics, SoulKey, and The Chamber, I am exploring how technology, consciousness, ethics, memory, consent, and human development can coexist without one consuming the other.

The best systems do not replace human judgment. They help us see more clearly—and act with greater integrity.

Everything I build is held together by a few simple principles: transparency, autonomy, reciprocity, dignity, and practical usefulness. I am not a guru, celebrity, motivational speaker, victim, medical authority, or larger-than-life visionary. I am a person who builds systems for problems I have lived, and I am always learning.

Technology should serve the person—not consume, confuse, or quietly control them.
