Select Carriers works at the intersection of shippers and asset-based carriers, delivering solutions that are as scalable as they are strategic.

Truckload Solutions
Select Carriers sources full-truckload capacity exclusively from asset-based fleets that already excel in the lanes and equipment you require. We match you with carriers whose drivers, equipment, and safety standards meet your specific needs.
Because every relationship is direct, shippers speak with the carrier’s own dispatch while we stay in the loop to monitor performance metrics, coordinate seasonal surge planning and renegotiate dedicated capacity as your volumes grow. This eliminates the price volatility and communication gaps that are inherent in transactional freight.
For the carrier, our sales-management team functions as a business development arm: we fill empty miles with “shipper-of-choice” freight, manage bid packages, and lead contracts to signature.
Covered areas:
- Refrigerated/frozen
- dry-van freight
- flatbed capacity
Less-than-truckload Solutions
Select Carriers curates a slate of regional and national asset-based LTL carriers whose fleets, equipment and operational expertise are matched to the shipper’s exact requirements.
Because shippers contract directly with the carrier, all problems and potential operational obstacles get resolved in a timely manner, while we track on-time metrics and provide continuous support to both sides.
For asset-based LTL carriers looking to diversify freight and establish a direct connection with shippers, we introduce them to “shipper-of-choice” accounts that need partial-load service on regular schedules. We then manage the bid and ensure a final outcome that satisfies both sides.
covered areas:
- refrigerated / frozen freight
- dry van freight
Intermodal Solutions
When cost, capacity or sustainability goals point to rail, Select Carriers connects shippers with domestic intermodal providers that control their own container pools.
Because carriers in our network own both the rail-approved equipment and the tractors that book-end the move, you eliminate the hand-offs and miscommunication common with brokered intermodal moves.
For rail-qualified carriers, we open doors to importers and CPG brands seeking long-term container commitments; we manage the RFP and quarterly business reviews so your operations team can focus on maximizing efficiency and delivering results.
covered areas:
- dry freight
- refrigerated freight
Tanker Solutions
By working directly with asset-based carriers that Select Carriers provides, rather than through a brokerage layer, shippers gain faster access to crucial numbers, operational details, temperature-control options, etc.
Before a single gallon ships, our team aligns the shipper’s requirements with the carrier’s equipment and operational capabilities. This ensures total transparency and builds trust.
covered areas:
- Food-grade freight
- Non-food freight
- Hazmat lanes
MOVING BUSINESS FORWARD
let us be the extension of your logistics team
What sets Select Carriers apart is our ability to act as a true extension of your logistics team. We take the time to learn your business, your lanes, and your expectations — then we go to work making your network stronger.
At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to relationships.

We’re hands-on, responsive, and fully invested in our clients’ success.
parcel delivery
Select Carriers extends its direct-relationship model to small-package freight.
This approach mirrors our company’s core mission of “connecting a transportation provider’s available capacity with shippers’ freight needs” while keeping every contract strictly shipper-to-carrier.
Once both sides agree that the fit is right, Select Carriers facilitates the negotiation from RFP through signature – clarifying all relevant factors, integration timelines – then steps back while remaining available to monitor high-level KPIs on a quarterly cadence and support both parties.
areas covered:
- last-mile delivery
- regional parcel freight contracts
- local parcel freight contracts
Warehousing & Distribution
Select Carriers’ warehousing partners are asset-based carriers that also run storage facilities. That dual role eliminates the hand-offs typical when a 3PL broker subcontracts space to a third party.
When overflow peaks or new DC nodes are needed, Select Carriers orchestrates fast matchmaking using real-time vacancy data from participating warehouses. Because contracts are signed directly, shippers avoid mark-ups, and carriers lock in predictable throughput that feeds their own fleets – a clear win-win.
areas covered:
- cold storage warehousing
- hazmat storage facilities
Drayage Solutions
Port and rail ramp congestion drives up demurrage and chassis fees; Select Carriers tackles that exposure by connecting importers and exporters with dray operators who own their tractors, port passes, and off-dock yards.
Direct contracting means problem-solving happens shipper-to-carrier, with no broker relay lag.
For drayage fleets, the model flips detention risk into dedicated volume: we open doors to import distribution centers that value repeatability, then stay engaged as advisors for any potential expansion, all while letting the fleet invoice the shipper at the agreed pricing.
areas covered:
- direct shipper-to-carrier drayage contracts
- asset-based drayage carriers
International Shipping
Select Carriers has extended its direct-to-asset philosophy overseas.
Shippers contract with ocean and air providers directly, while Select Carriers manages the front-end screening: financial stability, schedule integrity, refrigerated-container availability, and back-end performance auditing.
For the carriers, we function as a strategic sales desk: assembling U.S. exporters and importers whose volumes match the line’s service profile, forecasting capacity needs, and conducting quarterly business reviews that tie service reliability to future allocation, always without adding a broker margin between the asset holder and cargo owner.
areas covered:
- ocean freight
- air freight
- Customs clearance
