PAS Cargo

What PAS Cargo does

PAS Cargo (legal entity Pas Cargo USA, Inc.) is a privately held freight forwarding and logistics services firm incorporated in 2002 and headquartered in Hialeah Gardens, Florida. The company provides end-to-end international shipping services — air, ocean, and road freight forwarding (LCL and FCL), cargo consolidation, project cargo for oversized and hazardous goods, warehousing, customs clearance, and door-to-door delivery — with a primary focus on trade lanes between North America and the Caribbean and Latin America. Secondary use-case segments include perishable and temperature-sensitive cargo and energy/industrial project cargo. The customer segments are Caribbean/Latin America importers and exporters (primary, geography-based), industrial and energy project shippers, and perishable-goods shippers; no named customer logos are disclosed.

Operationally, the company runs a 135,000 sq ft racked warehouse hub at Hialeah Gardens with 40 dock doors, a US Customs and Border Protection Foreign Trade Zone designation (FTZ-281-65), NVOCC registration with the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC #18048), TSA-certified Indirect Air Carrier status, and bonded entity status. It maintains owned offices in Miami (HQ), Los Angeles (Rancho Dominguez), New York (Jamaica), and Toronto, and a network of exclusive agents across more than 20 countries, supplemented by memberships in WCA (World Cargo Associates) and Lognet International Freight Networks, providing reciprocal reach to 3,000 partners across 180+ countries with up to $100,000 per-shipment financial protection.

The revenue model is transaction-fee-based across each freight service line, with rate-card or per-shipment pricing negotiated via a quote-based model (website form or direct phone contact) and no publicly disclosed tiered pricing. Pricing varies by transport mode, weight, dimensions, origin, destination, and freight type; the company leverages preferred contracts with shipping lines, airlines, and trucking companies to pass volume-based discounts to customers. Go-to-market is sales-led B2B, executed through direct offices and exclusive agent relationships, augmented by a digital quote-request channel and WCA/Lognet-sourced referrals. The technology backbone is the proprietary Momentum 75 logistics management platform — which provides real-time tracking, automated receiving, and integration with the customer-facing MyPAS mobile app — but it is positioned as operational software rather than a distinct commercial product.
