Circle Logistics was founded in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2011 by Eric Fortmeyer and Chad Buchanan. Fifteen years later, we're a privately held 3PL moving roughly 33,000 loads a month across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, with an asset-based fleet, a vetted carrier network, and branches across the country. We've grown without losing the part that mattered most at the beginning: when something is on the line, a real person picks up the phone.
For shippers. We move freight across every major mode (dry van, reefer, flatbed, expedite, oversize, auto, bulk, LTL, and air) for customers ranging from family-owned manufacturers to Fortune 500 supply chains. Our work is built on three commitments we make on every load: No Fail Service, Personalized Communication, and Innovative Solutions. No Fail Service means we own the load from tender to delivery and solve problems rather than explain them. Personalized Communication means a named point of contact who knows your freight. Innovative Solutions means we invest in the technology and visibility tools that keep you out of the weeds.
For our team. Circle is built on an intrapreneurial branch model. Top performers don't hit a ceiling. They build books, build teams, and in many cases build branches of their own with real ownership of the outcome.
For carriers. We work with a hand-selected network of strategic partners because our customers only work with the best. That means fair rates, fast pay, and dispatchers who treat drivers like partners.
Big enough to handle complex freight at scale. Small enough that the people running your account actually know your business.
