About Home Front Transit
Prepared for the work ahead.
Home Front Transit is a veteran-owned transportation business operating under the assumed name of Disgruntled Outpost LLC, the underlying legal entity. HFT is currently owner-led while operations and future staffing are being developed.
Company mission
Mission First. Safety Always.
Home Front Transit was founded by Francisco Gonzalez Jr., Founder, Managing Member & Chief Executive Officer. The company’s veteran-owned identity is grounded in responsibility, service, and preparation before operations.
The mission is principles-based: prepare carefully, communicate plainly, respect access, and build a transportation company that earns trust through the work behind the service. That means keeping passenger safety, accessibility awareness, and accountable planning visible from the beginning.
Company story
Business identity
Home Front Transit is an assumed name of Disgruntled Outpost LLC, formed in Wyoming and authorized to conduct business in New York. Home Front Transit is the public-facing transportation business; Disgruntled Outpost LLC is the underlying legal entity.
Current organization
HFT is currently owner-led while operations and future staffing are being developed. This page does not present future roles or staffing as current.
Planning direction
The company is preparing around transportation planning for NYC schools and students, accessibility-capable transportation, field trips and school activities, and intrastate New York State charter transportation.
Future focus
New York, considered carefully.
The planned geography is New York City student transportation and intrastate New York State charter transportation, with no planned interstate operations initially. The service direction stays focused on those New York needs.
Status in context
Preparation is not approval.
USDOT registration is active, while NYSDOT passenger authority is pending through the applicable process. The company remains in pre-operational development.
USDOT registration is not passenger operating authority. Pending is not approval. NYC PASSPort is not approved-vendor status, PIP is not a contract award, and FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse setup is not FMCSA approval. Home Front Transit is an assumed name of Disgruntled Outpost LLC, which is SBA-certified as both a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB). NYS SDVOB certification remains separate and in progress. Business & Procurement remains the stronger destination for detailed procurement context.
