Facts and answers about working with LFS

Everything we do is backed by education. Your company is managed by Logistical Forwarding Solutions, and behind it is Freight University: students, interns and academics applying what they learn to help build your company. You don't just get a company behind you. You get a complete platform backed by education and transparency. No one else in America does this. How we work.

Logistical Forwarding Solutions LLC is a Utah company that has operated for more than 20 years. LFS is a service company, not a freight brokerage. Every trucking company and brokerage in the LFS network operates under its own authority, which you can look up on FMCSA's SAFER Company Snapshot. We encourage you to run that check on any company you deal with.

It means the trucking company comes first. Before we offer anything, we ask whether it helps keep the small trucking company solvent, compliant, earning and not alone. If a service would help someone profit at the carrier's expense, we don't offer it.

We are a service company, and our job is to keep trucking companies alive. We help people start trucking companies, build freight brokerages, manage trucking companies (back office, fleet management, freight research and dispatch), stay DOT compliant, and grow through consulting. We also offer managed truck ownership, education through Freight University, and free complaint help for carriers through FreightBrokerComplaint.com.

No. LFS is a service company. We build and manage trucking companies and freight brokerages, and each one operates under its own authority. LFS does not broker freight or book loads for shippers. Our founder has brokered freight during his more than 25 years in the industry; that is his experience, not a current LFS license.

Every trucking company and freight brokerage LFS builds is part of the LFS network, with LFS management and compliance oversight. Each company operates under its own USDOT and MC numbers, not ours. Truck owners can place equipment with network trucking companies through managed truck ownership, Freight University-trained agents can be placed with network brokerages, and CDL-A drivers are hired for network trucking companies.

8% of the gross of each load. It includes more than dispatch: compliance support, access to a transportation management system, freight research, business development, back-office support, and broker and rate review. See dispatch services.

No. LFS is a management business. We don't take investment money. You buy the truck, it is placed with a trucking company in the LFS network and runs under that company's operating authority, and we manage it. There are no promised returns; income depends on freight rates, truck uptime, fuel, repairs and market conditions. Read the risks in plain words.

No. Nobody honest can. Freight rates, fuel and repair costs move. We tell you what we see and what it means for your truck.

Yes. We hire CDL-A drivers for the trucking companies in the LFS network. See CDL-A driver jobs.

Freight University is LFS's education arm and shares its founder. It runs the PLSP certification, a three-month program with live sessions twice a week. Graduates may be placed with a freight brokerage in the LFS network; placement is not promised.
