Pyramid Group

What Pyramid Group does

Pyramid Group LLC is a privately held, non-asset-based third-party logistics (3PL) broker founded in March 2009 in San Antonio, Texas. The company operates as the exclusive sales agent for TForce Worldwide — a subsidiary of TFI International — across the United States and Mexico, connecting shippers with carriers across multiple transportation modes including less-than-truckload (LTL), full truckload, intermodal, domestic and international air freight, expedited ground, ocean (LCL/FCL), tradeshow logistics, dedicated fleet, final-mile/white-glove, and weekend services. The customer base is defined horizontally and use-case-based, ranging from individual one-box shippers to full-container customers, with pain points centered on selecting cost-effective delivery methods and reliable carriers.

The revenue model is commission-based: as a non-asset broker, Pyramid Group earns transactional fees by matching shipper demand with carrier capacity within the TForce Worldwide platform, leveraging TForce's freight volume (originating from its prior incarnation as RR Donnelley's DLS Worldwide) to secure competitive carrier rates. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, delivered through a single point of contact per customer. Customer acquisition relies on direct phone sales across four regional offices (San Antonio HQ, El Paso, Dallas, and Mexico City), supplemented by a website quote-request form and SMS-based post-sale notifications. Light technology features include an online Crate-to-Container Estimator and an opt-in SMS delivery notification service; the public website is hosted on GoDaddy's website builder, indicating limited in-house engineering.

The company's strategic history is anchored in two successive exclusive agency agreements: first with RR Donnelley's DLS Worldwide from 2014, then transitioning to TForce Worldwide (TFI International) in 2024. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no management team bios in the public record, no patents, no certifications, no AI/ML capabilities, and no institutional investors — Pyramid Group operates as a tightly scoped, relationship-driven regional broker whose economic position is structurally tied to the TForce Worldwide partnership.
