Strive Logistics

What Strive Logistics does

Strive Logistics is a privately held third-party logistics (3PL) and supply chain management company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Founded in 1995, the firm operates with a team of 51-100 employees and provides multimodal logistics solutions to clients worldwide. The company has a thirty-year operating history and is positioned as an established mid-market logistics provider in a fragmented industry.

Strive Logistics' core offering centers on third-party logistics services spanning multiple transportation modes, enabling clients to coordinate complex supply chains through a single provider relationship. The 'multimodal solutions' positioning suggests capability across transport modes such as road, rail, ocean, and air, allowing shippers to optimize cost, transit time, and capacity by mode. The available source material does not disclose specific sub-services, proprietary technology platforms, integration tools, partner networks, or named customers tied to Strive Logistics.

The company is a for-profit private entity. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with custom 3PL contract structures tied to freight spend, volume, and service scope. Source material does not contain revenue figures, funding history, ownership structure, leadership names, M&A activity, or AI capabilities for Strive Logistics, which limits further assessment of competitive positioning, growth trajectory, and capital structure. Notably, the detailed source content in this dataset describes Redwood Logistics' 4PL platform and RedwoodConnect iPaaS operations; that material cannot be attributed to Strive Logistics without further verification.
