Freight brokerage: FTL, LTL, and a vetted national carrier network.
Dedicated capacity, spot market management, and lane optimization across the continental U.S. and Canada, with one desk accountable for every load.
The asset-light model, run with discipline
Sams does not own trucks. That is deliberate. An asset-light brokerage matches each load to the right carrier at the market rate, instead of feeding a fleet that has to stay busy.
Every carrier is vetted for FMCSA safety ratings, insurance minimums, operating authority, and performance history, with ongoing compliance monitoring after onboarding.
