What Sunline Global does

Sunline Global, Inc. is a privately held North American flatbed over-the-road (OTR) freight transportation and cross-border logistics provider founded in 1994 and headquartered in San Antonio, Texas. The company operates a fleet of 100+ tractors and 450 trailers and serves shippers across the continental United States, Mexico, and Canada, with operational terminals in Laredo, Texas and a satellite office in Monterrey, Mexico that supports warehousing, crossdock, consolidation, and drop-trailer services. Its core customer base consists of industrial manufacturers and mid-market shippers requiring reliable cross-border flatbed capacity, anchored by multi-year enterprise relationships such as Arconic (customer since 2010).

The company's product surface spans flatbed OTR freight hauling, cross-border distribution with in-Mexico cargo insurance, crossdock and consolidation, value-added warehousing with online inventory visibility, and a lease-to-own trailer program for drivers. Technology is built around the TMW transportation software platform, accessed by customers via a web portal (apps.sunlineglobal.com) that provides shipment tracking, KPI monitoring, and EDI/XML integration. The business is organized under a multi-entity structure comprising Sunline Global, Sunline Commercial Carriers, and Sunline Logistical Services, supplemented by a vetted network of Mexican carrier partners that the company states can quadruple its effective capacity.

Sunline generates revenue primarily on a transaction-fee basis through freight haulage and cross-border logistics services, with an additional stream from equipment leasing to drivers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the go-to-market model is relationship-driven direct sales supported by a dedicated inside-sales phone line (1-800-706-6767) and segmented email channels for rates, carriers, drivers, and job inquiries. The company holds EPA SmartWay Transport Partner (2023) and Best Places to Work (2023) recognitions, and operates as a Diamond Broker-designated carrier.
