STG Logistics

What STG Logistics does

STG Logistics, Inc. is a North American asset-based provider of port-to-door containerized logistics and transportation services, operating as the fourth-largest asset-based intermodal marketing company in North America and one of only five major asset providers in the industry. The company, founded in 1985 in South Kearny, New Jersey (now headquartered in Dublin, Ohio), serves importers, retailers, automotive manufacturers, consumer goods companies, and 3PLs requiring integrated movement of containerized freight from North American ports to inland destinations.

The company operates across six integrated service lines: CFS & Transloading (19 owned warehouses plus 60+ partner facilities handling 100,000+ import TEUs annually), Contract Logistics (~2 million sq ft of warehousing), Drayage (2,500+ tractors across 30+ terminals), Intermodal (15,000 owned 53' GPS-equipped containers with volume contracts with Union Pacific and CSX), Less-than-Truckload, and Over-the-Road (25,000+ carrier network). Technology is a core enabler through proprietary platforms — Cargo Manager (real-time inventory), STG Edge (visibility and analytics), Rail Optimizer (TMS), Synapse (WMS), and STG Carrier Connect (driver/carrier mobile app) — with EDI and API connectivity for customer integration.

The revenue model is primarily transaction-fee based on freight volume and distance across transportation services, supplemented by contractual subscription-style revenue from contract logistics and warehousing; pricing is custom-quoted per service line. The go-to-market is enterprise sales-led with dedicated account management, complemented by self-serve online quoting for mid-market LTL customers and digital carrier portals. Following a prearranged Chapter 11 filing in January 2026 amid a severe freight recession, the company emerged in May 2026 with more than $1 billion in funded debt eliminated and majority ownership transferred to a consortium led by Fortress Investment Group, Fidelity Management & Research Company, and Invesco Senior Secured Management.
