How we work: backed by education
Everything we do at Logistical Forwarding Solutions is backed by education. Your company is managed by LFS, and behind LFS 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.
A company with education behind it
We are a carrier-first company, and every service we offer is backed by the education we created at Freight University. Freight University is a separate entity, but its education, its research and its way of learning to succeed run through everything LFS does.
We use case studies. That means real people learning logistics apply their education to real companies: doing freight research, finding freight, building compliance and learning the back office. When a team is helping a trucking company build while they learn, success is stronger and transparency is created. No one goes to school to fail. People go to school to succeed, and that is the team behind your company.
No one else in America does this.
Imagine John Smith Trucking
Say John Smith just started his trucking company. Now imagine 25 Freight University students learning freight research and applying their education to John Smith Trucking: searching, researching and finding freight John never knew existed, using the methods and scenarios they learn hands-on.
John Smith Trucking isn't just a company with a manager behind it. It has academics behind it. That's why it grows.
- Freight research for John's lanes
- Freight found and brought to his truck
- A team learning and building at the same time
What we call development
If Susan Smith wants to build a trucking company, we place students, academics and interns into her situation. We call that development.
There is a team making sure Susan's trucking company is built the right way under the Code of Federal Regulations, with freight research, a back office system and everything else a trucking company needs to stay alive and grow. Susan's company is managed by LFS, with education behind it.
- Students, academics and interns placed into Susan's situation
- Built the right way under the Code of Federal Regulations
- Freight research and a back office system
- Managed by LFS, with education behind it
Education behind every service
The same platform is behind everything we do.
DOT compliance
If you have an audit, you have a team, a platform and a network with up-to-date information helping you get through it the right way.
Dispatch and freight research
Freight research by people learning to find freight, with every load booked in your name and every rate confirmation shown to you.
Starting a trucking company
Your company built through development: authority, compliance, freight research and back office, with a team behind it.
Building a freight brokerage
Brokerages built with education behind them: compliance, carrier vetting and back office.
Investing in trucking
Your equipment is monitored, worked and improved by a team with education behind it. That makes your investment more secure.
Consulting
25+ years in freight, with the research and learning of Freight University behind every answer.
Why education behind it gives better results
When education is behind something, it does better than a single company working alone. There are checks and balances. There is transparency. And everyone on the team is doing their best to succeed.
It also keeps us current. FMCSA rules change. We use education, data, technology and academics to stay on top of the newest regulations every day, so our clients get a complete platform backed by education and transparency, not just a company.
