MC Express

What MC Express does

MC Express LLC is a licensed and bonded freight shipping and trucking company headquartered at 95 County Road 407, Jonesboro, Arkansas. Founded in October 1994 with two trucks and one customer contract, the company has grown to operate a fleet of 100 trucks and drivers, making it the largest carrier of its type in Northeast Arkansas. It operates as an irregular route carrier providing 48-state coast-to-coast delivery on 53' van trailers with single driver and team service options, 24/7 operations, and GPS tracking on all shipments via its branded HOWL Tracker system.

The company's service portfolio extends beyond linehaul freight into adjacent logistics offerings: an 80,000 sqft warehouse facility in Jonesboro, AR with inventory control; trailer leasing for storage and over-the-road applications; a forthcoming freight brokerage service; dedicated service arrangements; and EDI and imaging solutions for document management. The company is an EPA SmartWay Partner and operates 100% electronic logging on all equipment, supporting environmental and regulatory compliance. Revenue is generated primarily through transaction-fee-based freight transportation (stated at over $20 million annually) plus managed-services warehousing and equipment leasing.

MC Express sells through a direct sales motion — a toll-free 800 number, a Request a Quote web form, and dedicated sales contacts — targeting enterprise and mid-market shippers needing multi-state freight, warehousing, and equipment solutions. The company is privately held as an LLC with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or M&A activity. The website content is dated (copyright 2016, blog posts from 11-12 years ago), indicating limited recent public-facing investment, and ownership and leadership information is not publicly disclosed, representing a notable data gap.
