About
Freight is earned one shipment at a time
A mainspring is the part of a watch that keeps every other part moving. Mainspring Logistics does that job for your freight: every mode a shipper needs, the carrier depth to cover it, and service good enough to earn the next load.
What we do
We arrange transportation for companies that ship freight: full truckloads on vans, flatbeds and refrigerated trailers; LTL across more than 50 national and regional carriers; temperature-controlled LTL; final mile delivery into homes and businesses; and international moves by air, ocean and cross-border truck.
How we work
Most shippers end up with a different vendor, login and phone number for each kind of freight. We put it in one place. You get one team that knows your business and one platform where every shipment can be quoted, booked and tracked.
The work does not stop when the truck is booked. Our operations team monitors each shipment, escalates when one is at risk, audits the carrier's invoice, disputes charges that are not valid and supports you through a claim when freight is damaged.
How we are set up
Freight is arranged through a licensed and bonded property broker, and every truckload is backed by a $1 million bond. Customers work in 1896, a transportation management system built for LTL that also handles truckload, cold-chain, final mile and international freight.
What we stand on
Four things you can hold us to
Tell the truth about the date
We would rather give you a delivery date we can keep than win the load with one we cannot.
Recommend the right mode
We handle every mode, so we have no reason to push one. If a truck is cheaper than six pallets of LTL, we say so.
Own the problem
When a pickup is missed or an invoice is wrong, you should not have to chase it. We do, and we tell you where it stands.
Put it all in one place
One team, one login and one set of reports for every kind of freight you ship.
