Unilink Transportation

What Unilink Transportation does

Unilink Transportation is a private third-party logistics (3PL) provider headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, operating under the legal entity Mendoza Corp since 2004. The company arranges and manages freight transportation for businesses across North America with stated operational coverage spanning the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Its service portfolio spans five lines: Over the Road (full truckload trucking with dry vans, flatbeds, reefers, and over-dimension equipment), Air Freight (domestic and international including charter and next-flight-out), Ocean Freight (FCL, LCL, break-bulk worldwide), 24/7 Expedited Services, and Warehousing/Distribution/Assembly add-on services tied to ocean shipments.

The company's operating model is a hybrid-asset structure that aggregates a network of pre-approved partner carriers, vetted against C-TPAT and OEA security certifications, who dedicate portions of their fleet to Unilink. This enables pre-planned capacity, customer forecasting support, and spot freight coverage in under 24 hours across any region in the USA, Mexico, or Canada. Technology surface is limited to an online shipment tracking platform offering 24/7 visibility and carrier network management tooling; ISO 9001:2015 certification anchors quality objectives including on-time pickup and on-time delivery rates of 95% or greater. The CEO is Erick Mendoza.

Unilink generates revenue through transaction-based fees for arranging freight shipments across multiple modes. Its go-to-market is sales-led, acquiring customers via direct phone and email outreach, website contact forms offering free consultations, and an organic social presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. Pricing is quote-based and customized per shipment based on cargo, route, service level, and volume. The company targets a horizontal customer base of enterprise and mid-market freight shippers including manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and trading companies requiring multi-modal logistics coordination.
