LOKI 3PL handles freight and LTL shipping for B2B distributors, retailers, and enterprise clients. Specifically, we manage pallet shipping, truckload coordination, and freight documentation. Additionally, orders placed before 2 PM ship the same day, with 98%+ on-time performance across all destinations.
Furthermore, every warehouse is owned and operated directly by LOKI 3PL. Consequently, all systems are managed in-house, and every team member is a direct employee. Unlike other providers, we use no brokers, no subcontractors, and no middlemen. Ultimately, that level of control means consistent quality, reliable freight tracking, and the ability to scale fast when your shipping volume grows.
Initially, pallet shipments grow faster than space. Meanwhile, your retail partners expect on-time delivery. Moreover, they expect accurate orders. Additionally, they expect competitive freight rates. However, they don’t care which carrier you use. Instead, they care about delivery speed and freight cost.
Typically, most brands start with small parcel shipping. For example, they ship individual boxes. Initially, shipping works fine at 50 orders per month. However, at 500 orders per month, pallet shipments create complexity. Specifically, freight classification, LTL rates, delivery scheduling, and routing guides become challenging. Consequently, customer complaints increase.
Therefore, LOKI 3PL connects your ordering system to our warehouse management system. As a result, orders flow automatically from your ERP to our warehouse system. Then, we pick, pack, and palletize orders the same day they come in. Additionally, we handle freight documentation and compliance. Furthermore, tracking numbers sync back to your system instantly. Ultimately, you see real-time shipment status across all channels.
Moreover, our 11 first-party centers give you geographic coverage across the US and Canada. For instance, you store inventory in one location, and we distribute to retailers and wholesale partners nationwide. Notably, 40% of the US population lives within one-day shipping distance. That translates to roughly 130 million people. Consequently, freight shipments reach retailers in 1-5 business days.
Ultimately, B2B distributors need a fulfillment partner that understands freight logistics. Therefore, we process orders from ERP systems, EDI platforms, and custom ordering portals. Although every system has different requirements, we handle all of them through one unified system.

First, inventory arriving at any of our 11 centers before 2 PM gets received, inspected, and logged into our system with lot numbers and expiration dates. Then, it becomes available for sale that same day. Unlike other providers, there’s no waiting three days for your inventory to “go live.” Additionally, orders placed before 2 PM ship the same day. Furthermore, we maintain 99.9% accuracy through barcode scanning at every step.
Specifically, LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipping works for palletized shipments between 150-15,000 pounds. For example, multiple shippers share truck space, making it cost-effective for smaller pallet quantities. Consequently, we coordinate pickup with major LTL carriers from our distribution centers. Additionally, we classify freight using NMFC codes. Moreover, we calculate dimensional weight. Ultimately, your shipments reach retailers in 1-5 business days.
Moreover, full truckload (FTL) shipping works for large shipments that fill an entire truck. Specifically, you get dedicated truck space, faster transit times, and reduced handling. Additionally, we coordinate FTL shipping for pallet quantities of 24+ pallets from our West Coast fulfillment center.
Furthermore, direct routes minimize transit time. Finally, your shipments reach retailers in 1-3 business days.
Additionally, partial truckload (PTL) shipping works for shipments between LTL and FTL. For instance, you get dedicated truck space without paying for a full truck. Consequently, we coordinate PTL shipping for pallet quantities of 6-24 pallets.
Moreover, it’s faster than LTL and cheaper than FTL. Finally, your shipments reach retailers in 1-4 business days.
Furthermore, we prepare all palletized shipments according to retailer requirements. Specifically, we handle pallet stacking, shrink wrapping, and labeling. Then, we coordinate LTL, PTL, and FTL shipping. Additionally, we schedule delivery appointments. Moreover, we ensure compliance with retailer receiving requirements. As a result, your orders arrive on time and in spec.
Moreover, we store your products in clean, secure, climate-controlled facilities. Specifically, you can choose from ambient or temperature-controlled storage depending on what your products need.
Notably, our 2+ million square feet of space and 50,000+ pallet positions mean your inventory always has a home.
Additionally, we handle kitting, bundling, and light assembly.
For example, create product bundles, build retail displays, or assemble promotional kits.
Furthermore, our team follows your exact instructions, and every kit passes a quality check before it ships.
Ultimately, a fulfillment center is only as good as its building and its people. Fortunately, ours give us over 2 million square feet, 50,000+ pallet positions, and millions of shelf positions. Combined, that capacity keeps your product moving even during the heaviest peak-season weeks.
Consequently, every item gets scanned at every step. That is how we hold a 99.9% accuracy rate. Furthermore, mistakes get caught the moment they happen, not a week later. Finally, every facility follows documented standard operating procedures, so returns, recalls, and regulatory audits stay consistent across the network.
Ultimately, should you manage freight shipping yourself or hand it to a 3PL?
The answer depends on your volume, your team, and your goals. Typically, most brands start outsourcing once shipments outgrow their staff. Initially, at low volume, in-house shipping makes sense. However, as volume climbs, the economics flip. Consequently, you stop paying for idle carrier contracts and start paying only for what you ship.

Ultimately, most brands cut freight shipping costs by 35-45% after switching from in-house to LOKI 3PL. Consequently, you eliminate carrier negotiation time, classification labor, and retail carrier rates. Finally, you focus on production &sales instead of routing guide compliance.
We’ll review your shipment volume, product mix, shipping needs, and give you an assessment of how we can support your growth.
Ultimately, the last mile is where shipping costs balloon, and customer satisfaction gets won or lost. Fortunately, we partnered with GoBolt to fix that. Specifically, they run regional networks with electric vehicles and route optimization. Moreover, the no-fuel-surcharge piece matters. Essentially, fuel surcharges are one of the least predictable shipping costs, and GoBolt eliminates that variable.
Consequently, our 11 centers put your inventory closer to your customers. As a result, shipping zones shrink, delivery times drop, and costs go down.
Volume discounts for 500+ shipments per month. Also, you get the same market access but pay less for warehouse space and labor. We pass those savings to you through better pricing & lower per-unit fulfillment costs.
Freight shipping runs on data. Fortunately, our platform is API-first, which means it connects cleanly with the systems you already use. Consequently, from there, inventory, orders, and shipping updates stay in sync across every channel in real time.

Our 11 centers sit near major ports. Specifically, the Port of New York and New Jersey handles East Coast imports. Meanwhile, the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach handles West Coast imports. Consequently, imported goods transfer directly to our facilities with minimal drayage time and cost.
Moreover, major interstate highways give us direct access to carrier sorting facilities and regional distribution networks. Additionally, each of our 11 centers sits within 30 miles of these highways, so your inventory stays close to the carriers that move it.
Furthermore, our network of 11 centers across the US and Canada extends this advantage even further. Specifically, by distributing inventory across multiple locations, we reduce the average shipping zones per shipment. As a result, that lowers carrier costs and shortens delivery times. Finally, our partnership with GoBolt for last-mile delivery eliminates fuel surcharges, which saves you even more on every package.
Our facilities handle the full range of products. Specifically, small consumer goods, oversized items, anything in between. Moreover, the network gives you over 2 million square feet of space, 50,000+ pallet positions, and millions of shelf positions across all 11 locations.
Additionally, we use batch picking to process multiple orders at once, cutting per-order pick time. Furthermore, zone picking assigns specific areas to individual pickers, minimizing travel distance. Consequently, barcode scanning happens at every stage, from receiving through shipping. As a result, we maintain 99.9% accuracy. Finally, because every facility runs the same standard operating procedures, you get consistent quality no matter which location fulfills your orders.
Freight shipping demands more than parcel delivery. Specifically, every retailer has its own routing guides, compliance requirements, and delivery schedules. Consequently, we build industry-specific workflows that account for freight requirements from day one.
Supplements and CBD brands face the toughest freight regulations. Fortunately, we store products in FDA/CGMP-compliant facilities with full lot traceability. Moreover, our team prepares retailer-specific documentation for each shipment. Additionally, temperature-controlled zones protect heat-sensitive formulas during transit. Finally, we track expiration dates so nothing ships past its window, even for freight going to major retail chains.
Consumer electronics require careful handling and serial number tracking. Specifically, we handle smartphones, wearables, smart home devices, and accessories with anti-static packaging. Furthermore, high-value freight shipments get secured storage and insurance documentation. Additionally, we prepare compliance paperwork for lithium batteries and restricted technology. Ultimately, every unit gets scanned at each checkpoint for full chain-of-custody visibility.
Beauty brands need more than careful packing. Specifically, each retailer has its own packaging and labeling requirements. Consequently, we prepare documentation that accounts for cosmetic regulations and retailer compliance. Moreover, premium unboxing experiences get preserved through custom inserts and climate-controlled storage. Finally, batch tracking enables rapid recalls across multiple retail partners.
Specifically, shipping food products to retailers means navigating FDA requirements and retailer-specific compliance. Fortunately, we manage FIFO and FEFO rotation to ensure freshness. Additionally, expiration dates get logged at receiving and monitored throughout storage. Moreover, our team prepares phytosanitary certificates and health declarations for retailers that require them. Ultimately, temperature-controlled zones keep products stable during freight transit.
Fashion brands ship seasonal collections to retailers nationwide. Specifically, we manage size and color variants across multiple SKUs. Furthermore, retailer-specific labeling gets prepared for every freight shipment. Additionally, returns from retail partners get processed within 48 hours with inspection and restocking. Finally, premium brands get custom packaging that survives freight transit while maintaining the unboxing experience.
Oversized home goods, furniture, and garden equipment require specialized international shipping. We coordinate palletized freight for large items. Custom crating protects fragile pieces during ocean transit. Our team handles import duty calculations for furniture, which varies significantly by country and material. Room-of-choice delivery coordinates with local carriers at the destination for white-glove service.
Pet food and treats face strict import regulations in most countries. We prepare ingredient declarations and health certificates for each destination. Pet accessories, toys, and grooming supplies ship with standard customs documentation. Subscription box brands get kitting and assembly services for international markets. We plan inventory around predictable reorder cycles so popular items never go out of stock.
Toy brands face safety compliance requirements that vary by country. We prepare documentation for CPSC, CE marking, and other international safety standards. Holiday season demand spikes require 3x staffing increases, which we handle across all 11 centers. Secure storage prevents theft of high-demand items during Q4. Fast turnaround during Black Friday and Cyber Monday keeps your international seller ratings high.

LTL (Less Than Truckload) freight shipping is a service for shipments that don’t require a full truck. Specifically, multiple shippers share truck space, making it cost-effective for palletized shipments between 150-15,000 pounds. Moreover, LOKI 3PL coordinates LTL, partial truckload, and full truckload shipping from our 11 first-party centers.
The process runs in five steps. First, you palletize your shipment at our center. Second, we classify the freight using NMFC codes and calculate dimensional weight. Third, we coordinate pickup with LTL carriers. Fourth, your shipment shares truck space with other freight. Finally, we track every shipment and provide real-time visibility with proof of delivery.
LTL works for shipments under 15,000 pounds or less than 24 pallets. Meanwhile, full truckload works for larger shipments that fill an entire truck. Consequently, LTL is cheaper for smaller quantities. However, truckload is faster for large quantities. Ultimately, most brands use both depending on shipment size.
LTL shipping costs depend on weight, dimensions, distance, and freight class. Fortunately, we negotiate bulk rates with major LTL carriers. As a result, you get competitive pricing without volume commitments. Finally, contact us for a custom quote based on your shipment size and destinations.
We work with brands shipping 50+ pallets per month. Moreover, pricing gets most cost-effective at 500+ pallets a month, where our volume discounts on freight start to apply.
No. Specifically, we offer month-to-month agreements with no lock-in. Moreover, there are no setup fees and no cancellation penalties. Ultimately, we keep clients because the service works, not because a contract forces them to stay.
Orders placed before 2 PM ship the same day. Specifically, LTL shipments reach retailers in 1-5 days. Meanwhile, full truckload shipments reach retailers in 1-3 days. Finally, we coordinate delivery appointments based on retailer receiving schedules.
Yes. Specifically, we classify all freight using NMFC (National Motor Freight Classification) codes. Moreover, we calculate dimensional weight. Additionally, we ensure proper freight class assignment to avoid reclassification fees. Ultimately, your shipments get the right class the first time.
Yes. We prepare all required customs documentation. Commercial invoices. Packing lists. Certificates of origin. We classify products using HS codes. We calculate duties and taxes. We ensure compliance with destination country regulations.
We work with all major LTL and truckload carriers including FedEx Freight, UPS Freight, XPO Logistics, Old Dominion, and regional carriers. Moreover, our API-first platform connects to multiple carrier systems for real-time rate shopping and tracking.
