What GSA does

GSA is a US-based transportation and logistics provider. Per firmographics, the company was founded in 1983, is headquartered in Wayne, United States, and employs 51-100 people. Its stated service portfolio spans transportation, warehousing, distribution, cross-docking, and freight audit and payment services. The company operates as a private, for-profit entity.

Operational evidence available in the data set centers on Northfield Trucking Co. Inc., a third-generation family-owned trucking company headquartered at 28800 Northline Rd, Romulus, MI 48174, that appears to share contacts and management lineage with GSA. Northfield offers 11 distinct freight services: Local Pick-Up & Delivery, Regional Truckload, Refrigerated Truck Load, Dedicated Routes, Spotting Services, Just-In-Time Logistics, Milkrun Delivery, Shuttles, Trailer Rental, Driver Hourly Services, and Expedited Services. The fleet is supported by an in-house maintenance shop staffed by employed mechanics, and the company reports a 99% on-time delivery record. Operations are concentrated in Southeast Michigan with 24-hour, seven-day service availability.

The business is led by President Leigh Ann Frederick, with a Frederick-family management presence (Damian Frederick also listed). Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis via custom quotes rather than published rate cards, with sales conducted directly through the website's 'Request a Quote' form and a department-routed contact system. Pricing varies by distance, cargo type, service level, and volume. Marketing is direct-only, anchored on the company website, customer reviews, and driver recruitment. The Elite Driver program — requiring two or more years of experience, background checks, and ongoing DOT drug/alcohol testing — supports a stated culture of long-tenured drivers and operational reliability.

Direct peers

• Heartland Express: Regional dry van and refrigerated truckload carrier focused on irregular route and dedicated freight; comparable to Northfield's regional TL and refrigerated TL service lines.
• Daseke: Consolidator of regional specialized and flatbed trucking operators with an explicit roll-up strategy; useful analog for how a sub-scale carrier like Northfield could be acquired or could itself acquire.
• Anderson Trucking Service: Family-influenced, multi-generational U.S. carrier specializing in regional and specialized freight with similar flatbed/heavy-haul and dedicated offerings; comparable operating model to Northfield's specialized regional TL mix.
• Marten Transport: Mid-size, multi-service TL carrier operating refrigerated, dedicated, and intermodal services with a Midwest operating footprint that overlaps Northfield's regional lanes.

Emerging players

• Uber Freight: Digital, asset-light freight marketplace that intermediates spot and contract freight; structural competitor to traditional regional carriers like Northfield on price-discovery and shipper access.

Broad incumbents

• Schneider National: Large diversified incumbent operating truckload, intermodal, and logistics at national scale; competes with Northfield on dedicated and regional lanes with vastly greater density.
• Hub Group: Intermodal and logistics provider with a strong Midwest/Detroit presence; competes for shipper logistics spend that Northfield also targets with JIT and dedicated capacity.
• Werner Enterprises: National TL carrier with dedicated and refrigerated services; directly overlaps Northfield's refrigerated TL and dedicated-route offerings in midwestern lanes.
• J.B. Hunt Transport Services: Large incumbent with truckload, dedicated contract services, and intermodal; competes for the same enterprise shipper RFPs Northfield targets on dedicated and JIT lanes.
• Knight-Swift Transportation: Largest U.S. truckload carrier with full national network, refrigerated, and dedicated capacity; a key consolidator that pressures regional carrier pricing and broker margins.
