Keith Lewis

Keith serves as an Investigator for the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council (GA POST), where he is involved in oversight and standards related to law enforcement professionalism and accountability across the state. Now, as VP of Operations for CargoNet, Keith leads operational oversight, investigative coordination, and member training focused on preventing cargo theft and freight fraud nationwide. His background uniquely positions him to speak to one of the most urgent issues in transportation today: how unauthorized and improperly vetted drivers create systemic exposure for carriers, brokers, shippers, and insurers. Keith's career in transportation began early. While still in high school, he worked at his father's trucking company, driving a tractor-trailer and learning the business from the ground up. After graduation, he continued working in the family operation while earning a degree in Criminal Justice. Following the sale of his father's company, Keith advanced into leadership roles with three global logistics organizations. His logistics career culminated as a General Manager overseeing a just-in-time (JIT) automotive operation in Graz, Austria, where precision, timing, and operational discipline were critical to success. In 2000, Keith transitioned from logistics to law enforcement, serving as a Task Force Agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Major Theft Unit. In that role, he participated in undercover and sting operations focused on organized theft activity, gaining firsthand experience with the criminal side of freight, cargo, and transportation networks.
