Team Worldwide

What Team Worldwide does

Team Worldwide, Inc. (DBA Team Worldwide / Team Air Express) is a privately held, family-controlled U.S. freight forwarder and third-party logistics provider headquartered in Winnsboro, Texas. Founded in 1979 by Joe E. Brunson and Bobby J. Brunson and now under third generation leadership of Jason Brunson, the company delivers integrated multi-modal logistics across air, land, sea, customs, and warehousing through a family of operating brands: Team Air Express, Team Transportation, Team Ocean Services, Team Customs Brokerage, and Team Logistics.

The company serves commercial shippers across general commercial freight, e-commerce, trade show, aerospace/AOG, government/defense, and health/medical verticals, with particularly long-tenured institutional relationships including 30+ years serving the U.S. Government and 25 years as official logistics provider for USA Luge. Distribution is executed through a decentralized network of over 45 independently owned and operated North American branch offices, supplemented by the TIGA (Team International Global Alliance) network of 170+ international agent locations. Underlying technology consists of TeamTrac (web/mobile shipment tracking and reporting platform), TeamBook (online LTL quote/book/track tool), and a Syncada-integrated TeamTrac module for government freight billing and compliance.

Revenue is generated primarily on a transaction-fee basis — freight charges calculated by weight, dimensions, distance, and service level across modalities — with custom, quote-based pricing and pay-as-you-go billing. Go-to-market combines branch-led field sales with corporate account representatives and self-service digital tools, targeting enterprise accounts (government, aerospace) alongside SMB and mid-market shippers via TeamBook. The company owns and operates tractor/trailer capacity via Team Transportation (48-state DOT authority) and operates C-TPAT certified, IATA accredited, FMC-licensed NVOCC, and CRAF-agent status, providing a defensible seat in regulated federal and customs workflows.

Direct peers

• Landstar System: Asset-light North American truckload and freight broker using a franchise/agent model for ground capacity. Comparable to Team Worldwide's own-fleet-plus-brokerage ground operation and its distributed branch-style delivery of capacity.
• Worldwide Express: US freight forwarder and LTL/Parcel broker with branch-affiliate structure and multi-modal capabilities. Direct comparable to Team Worldwide's branch-ownership model and enterprise sales motion.
• Echo Global Logistics: US 3PL offering truckload, LTL, intermodal, and managed transportation with technology-enabled operations. Direct comparable to Team Worldwide's domestic surface brokerage and multi-modal service mix.
• AIT Worldwide Logistics: US-headquartered multi-modal forwarder offering air, ocean, ground, warehousing, and customs across global networks. Highly comparable to Team Worldwide in service mix, branch-based model, and industry-vertical approach.
• RXO: US freight brokerage spun out of XPO providing truckload, LTL, last-mile, and managed transportation. Closely comparable to Team Worldwide's domestic trucking broker and multi-modal carrier relationships, though asset-light rather than asset-owning.

• Hub Group: US-based intermodal and logistics provider with dedicated trucking, brokerage, and supply-chain solutions. Overlaps with Team's surface-transport and brokerage capabilities but anchored in intermodal rather than pure freight forwarding.
• C.H. Robinson Worldwide: Largest US-based 3PL and freight broker with global forwarding arm (Global Forwarding) and NVOCC operations. Overlaps significantly with Team Worldwide's forwarding and customs brokerage offering, but operates at much greater scale across many additional services.
