The origin
Founded in Chicago in 2017. Built for enterprise shippers who can't afford a dropped load.
Raven Cargo was built by people who got tired of watching shippers get sold on technology platforms and junior account reps. We started with a simple premise: the broker who knows freight better than the software wins the load.
Eight years later, we have 57 people across 9 offices, a carrier network built on relationships not rate boards, and a client roster that includes enterprise manufacturers, distributors, and importers who can't afford to miss a production window.
We don't advertise. We grow because the loads move and the calls get answered.
The team
The people who
pick up the phone.
Operations lead who came up through carrier management. Knows every major lane by instinct, not by algorithm.
Built the carrier network from scratch. 400+ vetted carriers. Not a directory — a relationship network.
Client-facing since day one. Knows what enterprise shippers actually need versus what they're told they need.
The one who answers at 11pm. Operational depth means he can solve problems, not just escalate them.
Where we operate
9 offices. National coverage.
