“For us, Echo Global logistics is among the most important and valuable partners! Perhaps one of the most important things that sets them apart from other companies is communication.

I can say that he is the most experienced and the best professional we have worked with.”

Carriers are an essential cornerstone of the transportation industry, allowing Echo to provide unparalleled shipping capabilities. We remain as dedicated as ever to building and growing relationships with carrier partners with our same commitment to quality service and execution. Additionally, on our side of the relationship, we continue to invest in advanced transportation technology, courtesy of our in-house engineers, so we can foster reliability and trust with our partners. An example of this is EchoDrive, our online web portal where carriers have real-time access to search, bid, book, manage, track, and get paid on freight hauled for Echo. Investment in technology and services of this caliber translates to successful working relationships with shippers and carriers and simplifies the business of transportation management.
