Building trucking companies

A Trucking Business Built Right Turns in Circles

Freight researchWe study lanes, shippers and rates before the truck moves.

“One truck is a straight line. A business built right turns in circles.”

A truck run load to load eventually breaks down. A trucking business built right runs in a circle, and every step feeds the next one. That is the circle we build and manage with you.

Education behind everything

Freight University and the PLSP Program

Everything we build is backed by the education we created at Freight University. Students, interns and academics work alongside the companies we build and manage, and the Professional Logistics Service Provider program trains the people who run them.

How the LFS network works

Every Company Runs on Its Own Authority, With LFS Behind It

When we build a trucking company or a freight brokerage for a client, it joins the LFS network. Each network company runs under its own operating authority, its own USDOT and MC numbers, and LFS provides the management and compliance oversight that keep it running. Owners place equipment into the network through managed truck ownership, and carriers get the same dispatch, compliance and back office we run every day.
