Who We Are
Circle Logistics was founded in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2011 by Eric Fortmeyer and Chad Buchanan. Fifteen years later, we’re a privately held 3PL moving roughly 33,000 loads a month across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, with an asset-based fleet, a vetted carrier network, and branches across the country. We’ve grown without losing the part that mattered most at the beginning: when something is on the line, a real person picks up the phone.Since then we have rapidly expanded to locations across the United States and Central America. Our people are our greatest asset, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without continuous investment in talented individuals.
What We Do
Circle Logistics is a freight broker providing logistics solutions to a wide array of customers. We provide coverage in the continental United States, Canada, and Mexico across all modes of transportation; Dry Van, Flatbed, Reefer, Expedite, Oversize, Air, etc.We’re committed to delivering on three core promises to our customers:
No Fail Service, Personalized Communication, and Innovative Solutions
Why Choose Us? Reasons to choose us as your freight partner
Transparent Transportation
At Circle we lead the industry in transparency of your freight. We provide 100% enhanced visibility through integrations and partnerships with our enhanced visibility providers. Any shipment in real time, that’s a promise.Extensive Carrier Network
Circle maintains an exclusive ELD-integrated network of carrier partners across all modes in 48 U.S. States, Canada, and Mexico. Our tiered capacity system ensures that every load receives the proper treatment – be it with our carrier partners, traditional brokerage, or through our sister company Circle Transportation, Inc.Privately Owned
Being privately held brings many benefits to our customers:We don’t have to play the numbers game, giving us freedom to focus on long-term strategies instead of short-term profits – meaning we can make good on our promises as we won’t take freight that doesn’t make sense for us.
Proprietary Technology & Partnerships
Circle invests heavily in technology, opening the doors up to find creative and efficient ways to service our customers. From API integrations to custom-built customer software, load matching to automation – Circle has all of your technology needs and wants covered.Leadership
