Overview
Loadsmart is a freight brokerage and managed transportation provider headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. Founded in 2014, the company serves shippers of all sizes — from small and mid-market businesses to Fortune 100 enterprises — across North America. Loadsmart operates as a licensed freight broker with FMCSA authority and maintains an extensive network of vetted carriers.
Loadsmart arranges full truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), partial truckload (PTL), drayage, intermodal, and expedited freight shipments. The company also offers managed transportation services through dedicated operations teams that handle carrier sourcing, procurement, network optimization, and day-to-day freight execution on behalf of shippers. Air freight services are available as well, including expedited and time-critical shipments with TSA-approved carriers.
Shippers commonly use Loadsmart for high-volume truckload and multi-mode freight across the continental U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The company is a strong fit for businesses that want instant spot pricing with guaranteed capacity, need a partner to manage complex freight programs end to end, or are looking to consolidate brokerage and managed transportation under one provider.
