Longistics

What Longistics does

Longistics is a privately held, full-service trucking company headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, that has operated continuously for over four decades. The company provides over-the-road (OTR), regional, and local ground transportation services to U.S. shippers across the continental United States. Its operations are organized around a driver-first culture, with active recruitment of CDL-A drivers carrying a minimum of two years of OTR experience through a dedicated careers portal and a phone-based recruitment team (984-300-6372).

The company operates two clearly differentiated service lines. OTR trucking offers solo drivers a pay rate of $.60 CPM and team drivers $.80 CPM split, on all miles paid. Local trucking is priced hourly at $25 for tractor-trailer and $22 for box truck, with overtime after 40 hours. The fleet is a modern, exclusively 2023-and-newer pool of Volvo, Freightliner, and International tractors equipped with automatic transmissions, inverters, refrigerator/freezers, electronic logging devices (ELD), the Omnitracs fleet management platform, and Bestpass toll management. Compensation and benefits are emphasized as a recruiting lever and include company-paid medical, dental, vision, life, STD, and LTD coverage; a 401(k) match up to 6%; three weeks of vacation; a pet-friendly policy; and 100% no-touch freight.

Revenue is generated transactionally from shippers paying per-mile for OTR movements or per-hour for local work, with additional driver compensation provisions for detention, stops, breakdowns, and weather delays. The company recruits drivers directly through its website (drivelongistics.com), the IntelliApp driver application platform, and a phone-based recruiter desk, and it contracts directly with shippers rather than through third-party intermediaries. Longistics has 101–250 employees, no disclosed subsidiaries, no external funding, no M&A activity, no named partnerships, and no publicly identified management team in the source material; ownership structure is not disclosed.

Direct peers

• Heartland Express: Public irregular-route and dedicated truckload carrier focused on OTR dry van. Closely comparable in service mix (general freight, no specialized commodity focus) and asset-light operating philosophy.
• PGT Trucking: Privately held flatbed and specialized truckload carrier serving industrial and construction end-markets. Comparable in private ownership, asset-based OTR model, and reliance on driver quality as a competitive lever.
• Covenant Logistics Group: Public truckload carrier operating dedicated, expedited, and refrigerated OTR services. Comparable mid-cap footprint with similar mix of long-haul and regional freight offerings.
• CRST International: Privately held asset-based truckload and logistics carrier operating OTR, dedicated, and team-driver services. Closely matches Longistics' solo/team OTR driver structure and private ownership profile.
• Werner Enterprises: Public OTR long-haul and dedicated truckload carrier operating a similar mix of solo/team drivers across the U.S. Directly comparable in service model, driver-pay structure, and target customer base to Longistics.
• U.S. Xpress Enterprises: Large private (since 2023 take-private) OTR and dedicated truckload carrier. Directly comparable in size range and general freight focus; provides a clean benchmark for private mid-to-large truckload valuation.
• Marten Transport: Public temperature-controlled and dry van truckload carrier with national OTR operations. Comparable in private/regional-to-national OTR service mix and reliance on driver-quality as a differentiator.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider National: Large publicly traded truckload, intermodal, and logistics carrier with overlapping OTR general freight services. A much larger incumbent that competes for the same shipper contracts but offers far broader services.
• Knight-Swift Transportation: Largest U.S. truckload carrier with extensive OTR, LTL, and logistics services. Overlaps with Longistics in general freight OTR but operates at materially greater scale with intermodal and LTL diversification.
• Ryder System: Large publicly traded logistics and fleet services company with dedicated truckload, supply chain, and rental businesses. Overlaps with Longistics on freight movement and competes for similar shipper relationships at much greater scale.
