What 1TRANSPORT does

1Transport is a privately held, asset-light freight broker specializing in heavy haul logistics across all 50 U.S. states. The company arranges the transport of oversized and overweight cargo — including construction equipment (cranes, dozers, excavators, boom lifts, skid steers), agricultural machinery (tractors, combines, balers, harvesters), and space-industry superloads — coordinating permits, pilot cars/escorts, multi-axle trailers, and route planning on behalf of shippers. Pickup capability extends to remote origins such as farms, mines, oilfields, and active construction zones, including non-operational and decommissioned equipment. The customer base skews toward SMBs and individual shippers, with a separate consultation path for enterprise superload projects.

The core technology is a quoting-and-dispatch platform with a four-step workflow (load submission, review/confirmation, carrier booking and dispatch, ongoing updates) and a proprietary internal size database of equipment make-and-model specifications used to estimate weight and dimensions when shippers lack exact specs. The platform is supported by a vetted network of FMCSA-compliant carriers with verified insurance and diverse trailer types (flatbeds, step decks, RGNs, extendables, multi-axle). Standard cargo insurance is bundled into the rate, with supplemental coverage available for high-value equipment.

The business model is transactional freight brokerage: revenue is generated from quote-based, pay-as-you-go fees on each coordinated load, with no disclosed subscription, SaaS, or platform fee component. Pricing is custom per shipment based on routing, trailer type, permits, and availability, and quotes are typically valid for 24 hours. Go-to-market is sales-led and digital, driven by website quote requests and book-a-call consultations, supplemented by organic social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and X. The company is bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding, parent entity, or institutional ownership.
