ABOUT TRINITY LOGISTICS
A 3PL that’s different than what you’re used to.

No matter who you talk to, from our Logistics Experts to our Marketers, whether on the phone or through email, you’ll notice our People-Centric service.
WHAT IS A 3PL? WHAT IS A FREIGHT BROKER?
The abbreviation 3PL stands for third-party logistics company. A 3PL is a provider of outsourced logistics services, often including freight shipment arrangement and warehousing. To make it simple, we connect customers who have shipping needs to experienced and trustworthy carriers who have available capacity and service offerings. Another common term for a 3PL is freight broker.
