Considerations
Primarily focused on North American transportation; international capabilities appear limited to air and ocean forwarding rather than comprehensive global logistics
As a large-scale 3PL focused on freight brokerage and managed transportation, may not be the best fit for businesses needing direct ecommerce fulfillment or pick-and-pack services
No publicly listed pricing; requires quote requests and engagement with sales teams for rate information
Self-service platform (EchoShip) supports LTL, truckload, and partial truckload but other modes require working directly with representatives
