What is “Command & Control” in logistics?

It’s centralized freight management where Service First Logistics oversees carrier selection, capacity planning, communication, problem resolution, and real-time visibility across all shipments.

How do 3PL providers prevent disruptions before they affect my freight?

We monitor capacity, weather, congestion, and carrier performance in real time. When risk emerges, our team proactively adjusts routes, modes, or capacity to prevent delays.

Yes. We strategically select truckload, LTL, drayage, intermodal, or expedited modes based on performance, cost, and timeline needs—all within a single, unified framework.
