What R+L Global Logistics does

R+L Global Logistics, Inc. is a private, asset-light third-party logistics provider headquartered at 315 NE 14th Street, Ocala, Florida, operating as part of the R+L Family of Companies (a family-owned freight shipping and fulfillment group). The company delivers a multi-modal B2B logistics stack organized around four pillars: Domestic Shipping (truckload, expedited, intermodal, temperature-controlled, dry van, flatbed, high-value/high-risk, and Mexico transborder), International Shipping (air freight, air charter, ocean, customs brokerage, ground, import/export), Global Logistics (supply chain management, reverse logistics, white-glove, warehousing, trade show logistics), and Global Technology (EDI and Warehouse Management Systems), supported by a customer dashboard (MyRLG) and a Logixboard-powered Global Vision tracking platform.

Go-to-market is sales-led, with custom quote-based pricing (pay-as-you-go) for B2B customers served via a 24/7 phone line, a website rate-quote tool, and self-serve portals for shippers, carriers, and factors. R+L Global targets six specialized verticals—technology, consumer goods and services, life science and medical, chemical, engineering and infrastructure, and business franchise—using the broader R+L Family ecosystem (R+L Carriers, ABCO Transportation, AFC International, Paramount Transportation Logistics, R+L Truckload) to provide integrated capacity across 15 strategically located US offices and a global network of airlines, charter, ocean, and ground providers.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on freight moves and managed-services fees for warehousing, supply chain management, and trade show logistics, complemented by carrier and factoring tooling. The company is regulated as a DOT-licensed truckload broker and Federal Maritime Commission Ocean Transportation Intermediary, and is a member of IATA Cargo Network Services and the Airfreight Forwarders Association. No disclosed revenue, funding history, M&A activity, or detailed ownership structure is available in the input data.
