Working with a company that was founded in transportation

Picture

2008

Began building our own TMS Solutions for our customers.  Our direct knowledge and experience in the industry helped us focus our vision on providing shippers with the tools they need to organize and cut costs while improving service.

1990

Standard Express Inc was founded in 1990 specializing in Expedite Transportation throughout North America.

Launched Standard Connect as a one stop shop to handle all aspects of shipping.  This includes all modes of Managed Logistics, Software integrations, Applied LTL discounts, Freight Auditing and more.
