FreightVana, one of the fastest-growing logistics companies in
the nation, today announced its agreement to acquire Loadsmith’s
brokerage operations by year end. Loadsmith, a well-known
participant in the logistics sector, was founded in 2019 and
focuses on Power-Only and standard freight brokerage. This
acquisition positions FreightVana as the undisputed leader in the
rapidly expanding Power-Only industry segment, further solidifying
its commitment to providing innovative, technology-driven solutions
in freight transportation.
The deal marks a significant milestone for FreightVana
(www.FreightVana.io), whose proprietary transparency platform,
T3, and asset trailer model, FreightVana X, have
redefined operational efficiency and supply chain visibility for
Carriers and Shippers alike. By integrating Loadsmith’s expertise
and market reach, FreightVana strengthens its ability to deliver
unmatched scalability, flexibility, and transparency across its
growing freight network.
"We are thrilled to welcome Loadsmith’s brokerage entity to the
FreightVana family," said Shannon Breen, CEO of FreightVana. "This
acquisition is a natural step forward in our mission to lead the
Power-Only category with innovative solutions and exceptional
service. Together with Loadsmith’s complementary capabilities,
we’re uniquely positioned to accelerate growth, drive efficiencies
for our partners, and set the standard for what Power-Only
logistics can achieve."
Loadsmith, known for its forward-thinking approach and deep
commitment to customer success, brings a wealth of experience and
resources to the table. The synergy between the two companies
ensures a seamless transition while offering an expanded suite of
services for hundreds of shippers and thousands of carriers across
the country.
"This partnership represents an exciting new chapter for both
companies," said Brett Suma, CEO of Loadsmith Holding Corporation.
"FreightVana’s proven ability to leverage technology, paired with
their dedication to partner carriers and growing customer base,
aligns perfectly with Loadsmith’s values. Under the FreightVana
umbrella the combined entity will continue to elevate the
Power-Only segment and provide even greater value their customers
nationwide."
The Power-Only segment, which enables carriers to move freight
without owning or maintaining trailers, has experienced
unprecedented growth in recent years. A variety of key factors has
driven this specific segment’s growth, including but not exclusive
to Shipper’s increasing needs for operational flexibility, cost
savings, and for Carrier’s their highly desired reduction in
facility dwell times. With this acquisition, FreightVana is
uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend, setting a new
benchmark for service delivery in the logistics sector.
The integration of Loadsmith’s brokerage operations into
FreightVana’s infrastructure is expected to be completed within the
next few months. Brett will be working closely as a strategic
advisor for Shannon and the FreightVana team over the subsequent
months and quarters to promote continuity throughout this
integration. In the meantime, both companies remain committed to
ensuring uninterrupted service and ongoing collaboration with their
industry partners.
