Why Choose FreightCenter for Custom Logistics Solutions?
When we say custom, we mean it. Every shipper has a different set of priorities—some care about cost, some about speed, others about packaging or compliance. Our logistics consultants take the time to understand your business and apply the best strategy.
Here’s how it works:
-
Consultation: We learn your shipping patterns, needs, and pain points.
-
Design: Our team creates a custom shipping strategy, tailored to your freight type and destinations.
-
Execution: We handle the routing, carrier coordination, documentation, and support.
-
Optimization: We continuously monitor performance and refine for savings, efficiency, and reliability.
We understand the importance of efficiency and safety while shipping freight. Because of this, we are committed to ensuring a personalized experience that meets all your business’s needs, whether big or small.
FreightCenter offers a wide range of custom logistics solutions:
International Shipping Solutions: We offer tailored solutions for cross-border and international shipping. We help you decide the best way to ship your products, whether by rail, air, or sea, and our shipping partners can help manage customs duties and documentation so that your international shipment is seamless.
Temperature-Controlled Logistics: Need to ship fresh produce, plants, pharmaceuticals, or perishable goods? We work with carriers that offer specialized transportation and storage options that require temperature control. We will ensure that your temperature-sensitive shipment arrives safely.
Last-Mile Delivery Solutions: We offer custom strategies for the final leg of the delivery process, whether through standard or expediting shipping, ensuring on-time delivery to your destination.
Freight Consolidation: Consolidating shipments will help to increase efficiency and reduce costs. Combining smaller shipments into one larger load is a custom solution.
Expedited Services: Expedited shipping services are ideal for time-sensitive shipments that need to be delivered overnight or in a matter of days.
Every shipment has its own story. Maybe it's oversized or fragile. Maybe it needs to cross the country or the ocean. Maybe it just needs to get there faster than usual.
At FreightCenter, our custom logistics solutions are built to adapt, not force you into a box. We combine experience, tools, and a nationwide carrier network to match your freight with the right shipping method, every time.
Whether you ship daily or only when your inventory requires it, here's how our service options come together to build a logistics strategy that works for you:
If you're not filling an entire trailer, Less-Than-Truckload shipping keeps your costs down while still moving your freight efficiently. We compare rates across trusted LTL carriers and help you choose the best option, based on speed, handling, or budget.
Need a dedicated trailer? We coordinate dry van, flatbed, or refrigerated shipping for full or partial loads. Our logistics experts optimize everything from carrier selection to route planning so your FTL shipments stay on schedule and on budget.
When long-distance bulk shipping meets sustainability, rail is a smart move. We offer rail freight and intermodal options that cut costs, reduce emissions, and move large volumes with fewer delays than over-the-road trucking in some regions.
Whether you're importing machinery or exporting products to global markets, our ocean freight solutions connect your supply chain to ports around the world. We offer competitive rates, full documentation support, and flexible container options.
When time is tight, air cargo is your go-to. FreightCenter helps you compare options from multiple airlines and manage customs, packaging, and delivery, all with the goal of getting your shipment there fast and intact.
For freight that needs more than just transportation, our White Glove service provides extra care. Whether it's medical equipment, artwork, or electronics, our trained partners handle every detail, from prep to packaging, delivery, and setup if needed.
Moving freight that's too big or too heavy for standard trucking? We've got you covered. Our Heavy Haul team coordinates permits, escorts, route planning, and the right equipment to move oversized loads safely and legally.
Stuck between LTL and FTL? PTL is the sweet spot. It's ideal for large shipments that don't fill a full trailer. You'll share space with other shipments but still enjoy direct routing, fewer touchpoints, and faster transit times.
Guaranteed competitive pricing every time you ship.

FAQ: Custom Logistics Solutions
Q. What are custom logistics solutions?
Custom logistics solutions are freight services tailored to fit specific shipment needs, whether that means handling oversized freight, coordinating multiple transport modes, or working around tight delivery windows. At FreightCenter, we build flexible strategies around your freight, not the other way around.
Q. Who needs custom logistics services?
Any business shipping specialized, high-volume, high-value, or time-sensitive freight can benefit from custom logistics. Manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and project managers all use our solutions to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Q. How does FreightCenter create a customized logistics plan?
We start by learning the details of your freight, schedule, and budget. Then, we match your needs to the right carriers, transport modes, and routing strategies, coordinating everything from pickup to delivery, with tracking and documentation support built in.
Q. What’s the benefit of using a 3PL like FreightCenter for logistics planning?
FreightCenter acts as a single point of contact for all your freight needs. We simplify booking, compare multiple carrier rates, and manage logistics across air, ocean, truck, and rail, saving you time and money while reducing errors.
Q. Can you combine shipping methods (like truck and rail) in one shipment?
Yes, that’s called intermodal shipping, and it’s often part of a custom logistics solution. FreightCenter coordinates seamless transitions between transport modes to move your freight efficiently and affordably.
Q. How do I know if I need full truckload or partial truckload?
If your freight doesn’t fill a trailer but is too large for LTL, partial truckload (PTL) is a cost-effective option. We help you determine the best fit based on dimensions, weight, urgency, and risk tolerance.
Q. Do custom solutions include international shipping?
Absolutely. Whether you’re shipping via ocean or air, we can build international logistics plans that include customs documentation, port scheduling, and last-mile delivery.
Q. Can you help with oversized or heavy haul shipments?
Yes, we offer heavy haul logistics for freight that exceeds standard size or weight limits. Our experts handle permits, routing, carrier selection, and any special equipment needed for safe transport.
Q. Is real-time tracking available with custom logistics services?
Yes. FreightCenter provides access to shipment tracking via our Transportation Management System (TMS) and through direct updates from your assigned freight agent.
Q. How do you ensure shipments arrive on time?
We build logistics plans with buffer time, reliable carriers, and proactive route planning. If a delay is likely, we communicate early and adjust as needed to keep your shipment moving.
Q. Are there cost savings with custom logistics?
Yes, by tailoring each shipment’s route and carrier to your exact needs, we avoid unnecessary fees, reduce handling, and often shorten transit times, all of which cut costs.
Q. What if I ship the same items regularly—can I get recurring logistics support?
Absolutely. We offer contract shipping and recurring logistics planning to help businesses manage high-frequency or scheduled freight. We can automate part of the process while still keeping it flexible.
Q. Can you provide white glove logistics services for delicate freight?
Yes, we do. If your shipment requires inside pickup, unpacking, or setup, our white glove logistics solutions are ideal for high-value, sensitive, or complex deliveries.
Q. How do I get a quote for a custom logistics plan?
