Crew
we are:
Drivers.
Specialists.
Awesome.
We’re proud of what we do and the people that make it happen. Our
crew and staff have been supporting industry leading tours for over a decade. We believe that every touchpoint is essential to the experience of the tour, and we are just as passionate about every finer detail on the road, from communication to style, as we are about hauling equipment safely and efficiently. Welcome to the 46 Way of entertainment trucking. We’re thrilled you’re here.
Our Purpose
We catalyze experiences that amplify the strengths of our clients and drivers.

Where We Come From
Our story begins in 2015 with the Tour Manager for Alan Jackson. While out on tour, we saw a need for a personalized and professional trucking company, which then became 46 Logistics. Built on collaboration, integrity, and the empathy of its team and clients, 46 is the first entertainment transportation provider started and managed by concert touring professionals for concert touring professionals.

With over 10 years experience managing small corporate events of 50,000 people, Nathan brings real life experience to managing events at 46 Entertainment. His inability to accept no for an answer, and his conscious desire to push for excellence keeps the execution standards high within the team. When he’s not part of the team at 46, he’s spending time with his wife, Laura Kate, and their two daughters, Bankes and Townes.

Laura Kate Baugh
Owner
With extensive experience in the corporate world at Capital Strategies and Buffalo-Rock Pepsi, Laura Kate brings her infectious personality and organization to the team by default – she is married to the owner!

Cole
Chief of Office Culture
Hailing from the foothills of Pennsylvania, Cole brings his love of snacks and positive energy to the office every day.
