Why NVOCCs and Freight Forwarders Choose Mark-it Express

Your Capacity-Assured Partner When Stakes Are High

Reliability That Protects Your Customer Relationships

As an NVOCC or freight forwarder, your reputation rides on your carrier partners. When you promise a customer a delivery date or quote a rate, you need truckers who make you look good. Mark-it Express has been that dependable partner – because when you succeed, we succeed. Success or failure, your carrier is a direct reflection of who you are.

Your Data Stays Private, Your Business Stays Yours

As an independent carrier, we’re not owned by logistics conglomerates or ocean carriers who might compete for your customers. When major consolidators acquire drayage companies, your shipper data and customer relationships can end up in the hands of your competitors. With Mark-it Express, your business intelligence stays confidential – we’re your partner, not your competition.

Capacity When Others Tap Out

When disruptions hit – blanked sailings, rail congestion, or equipment shortages – smaller carriers crack under pressure. Our asset-based fleet across Chicago, Kansas City, Indianapolis, and Detroit handles the volume spikes that crush operators with limited resources. We can’t stop market disruptions, but we can put a tourniquet on the bleeding and keep your freight moving when others are making excuses.

Multi-Terminal Flexibility Unlike Single-Market Operators

When capacity tightens in one market, we shift resources between terminals. Chicago running hot? We bring drivers from Kansas City. Detroit facing weather delays? Our Kansas City team covers the gap. This flexibility comes from being asset-based and owner-operated across multiple markets – not dependent on brokers or subcontractors who disappear when rates get tight.

Real Landed Cost Understanding

We know you’re not just shopping line-haul and fuel. You need carriers who understand that a “bargain” rate means nothing if it comes with surprise charges or service failures that cost your customers thousands in rail storage and per diem. Our transparent pricing helps you quote accurately to your customers from day one.

Technology That Actually Integrates

  • Real-time tracking through our ActiveTracks system
  • Integration with CargoWise and major TMS platforms
  • Online visibility from pickup to delivery
  • Automated status updates that reduce check calls

The Mark-it Express Advantage for NVOCCs:

  • Independent ownership – your customer data and relationships stay confidential
  • Service consistency that protects your customer relationships
  • Transparent operations – you see what we see, when we see it
  • Direct access to decision-makers who can say “yes” immediately
  • International expertise – we focus on complex moves, not commodity freight
