About SET Logistics: Your Freight Transportation Team
Our numbers speak for themselves.
SET it & Forget it©
The Capacity You Need. The Security and Service You Expect.
The Four Pillars of Our Advantage
Forget being bounced between departments or stuck on hold with a call center. We operate on a "cradle-to-grave" service model. When you partner with us, you get one dedicated logistics expert who manages your freight from the initial quote to the final delivery confirmation.
Freight fraud and double brokering are real threats. We protect your supply chain by utilizing advanced identity verification software to screen every driver before dispatch. Our rigorous approval process ensures only highly rated, compliant, and verified professionals haul your loads.
Your cargo is valuable, and standard industry coverage often falls short. We carry insurance policies well above the industry norm. Whether you are moving high-value retail goods or specialized heavy machinery, our elevated coverage limits mean your freight is fully protected from dock to dock.
We believe you should never have to chase down an update. Our custom client portal gives you round-the-clock access to live load tracking, invoices, and essential paperwork. You get the organization and transparency of a modern digital platform, backed by a dedicated account team expert ready to help whenever you need it.

Is SET an asset-based carrier or a broker?
SET is a non-asset 3PL and is not a motor carrier. SET doesn’t own or operate trucks, or employ drivers. We maintain a vast network of contracted, vetted third-party motor carriers, allowing us the flexibility to match each load to the right equipment instead of forcing freight onto one fleet.
What does "SET it & Forget it" mean?
SET delivers peace of mind. From the moment a customer assigns a load to SET, we handle everything else: carrier sourcing, permit acquisition, tracking, paperwork, and problem resolution, and we keep you informed proactively the whole way.
What is SET Logistics known for?
SET is known for open-deck and specialized freight: flatbed, step-deck, and RGN loads for construction, steel, heavy equipment, energy, and data center projects, backed by 24/7 service and one point of contact.
How big is SET Logistics?
Every month, SET coordinates thousands of freight moves worth billions of dollars, spanning the U.S. and Canada.
How does SET protect freight?
SET maintains cutting-edge carrier and driver screening processes, enforces strict contract compliance, provides real-time location tracking, and maintains industry-leading insurance; all working together to prevent fraud, avoid bad outcomes, and provide quick and positive resolution in the rare circumstance an issue arises.
How are damage claims handled?
SET serves as our customers’ claims advocate, managing any claim through to resolution for an incident occurring while a SET-contracted carrier is in control of the load. SET customers can rest assured that our dedicated claims team will expertly guide the claim process, in full compliance with the U.S. code governing freight claims, and our contract with you. In all cases, prompt, documented notice matters most.
What areas does SET cover?
SET coordinates freight primarily within the continental United States, with cross-border service to/from Canada, and occasional / incidental projects beyond. If you have a special need, please ask.
