What RJW Transport does

RJW Logistics Group (operating as RJW Transport) is an asset-based retail logistics provider founded in 1981 and headquartered in Woodridge, Illinois. The company serves Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) suppliers by managing the middle mile between supplier locations and the distribution centers of major U.S. retailers, including Walmart, Kroger, H-E-B, Target, and Amazon. Its customer base spans over 1,100 CPG suppliers shipping into 150+ retailers nationwide.

The company's core offering is retail consolidation — combining shipments from multiple brands into optimized full truckloads to reduce transportation costs 10-30% versus less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping and improve on-time-in-full performance. This consolidation model is supported by owned physical infrastructure: an in-house trucking fleet and 15.5+ million square feet of warehouse space across 22 facilities concentrated in Illinois, Texas, Pennsylvania, and California, with a new 788,320-square-foot Plainfield facility added in June 2026 as the 16th Illinois location. RJW also operates proprietary technology including the RJW Edge analytics platform (delivering demand forecasting, predictive analytics, and automated Walmart claims processing via the GURU module), customized Transportation Management System (TMS) and Warehouse Management System (WMS), and EDI/API integration capabilities for retailer-customer-vendor data exchange.

RJW monetizes through transaction-based service fees for transportation, warehousing, value-added services (packaging, labeling, barcoding, kitting), and compliance management — all delivered under custom enterprise contracts typically structured as multi-year agreements with dedicated operations teams per customer. In May 2026, RJW was named one of three official third-party logistics providers for Walmart's new Prepaid Consolidation Program covering shipments to Walmart's 42 regional distribution centers. The company received an institutional investment from Berkshire Partners in December 2024 and maintains an employee ownership structure through the RJW MyShare program. Operations are led by CEO Kevin Williamson (second-generation owner since 2010), supported by an executive team including CCO Adam Johnson, CFO Todd Davenport, CGO Spencer Smith, and CWO Boubacar Diallo.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• DHL Supply Chain:
• RXO (formerly XPO Logistics brokerage): RXO is a publicly traded asset-light freight brokerage spin-off from XPO that competes with RJW in retail consolidation freight and managed transportation. It serves many of the same large retailers and CPG shippers, though with a brokerage-led rather than asset-heavy model.

Direct peers

• C.H. Robinson: C.H. Robinson is one of the three approved 3PL providers (alongside RJW) for Walmart's Prepaid Consolidation Program. It is a large, publicly traded global logistics company with significant CPG freight brokerage and managed services exposure, making it the most directly comparable competitor for retail consolidation volume.
• Hub Group: Hub Group is the third approved 3PL in Walmart's Prepaid Consolidation Program and operates dedicated consolidation services across multiple retailers. Its intermodal and asset-based trucking/warehousing model and CPG-retail customer mix make it a direct competitor for the same enterprise accounts RJW targets.
• NFI Industries: NFI is a privately held, asset-based 3PL with a similar mix of dedicated trucking, warehousing, and retail consolidation services, particularly strong in CPG and grocery. Comparable in scale and family/private ownership profile, with overlapping customer and capability set in retail consolidation.
