What JLI TRANSPORTATION INC does

JLI Transportation Inc. is a privately held Canadian third-party logistics (3PL) and supply chain management provider founded in 2009 and headquartered in Cambridge, Ontario. The company offers six integrated service lines: transportation (cars, vans, straight trucks, tractor trailers, truckload, LTL, container, flatbed, blanket wrap, expedited, air charter, cargo, and local deliveries); storage across 50,000 square feet of warehouse space in Ontario and British Columbia; distribution supported by a custom-developed inventory control system with barcoding and order tracking; marketing services including digital, print, package design, branding, and promotional items; kitting and fulfillment such as pick-and-pack and co-pack; and custom supply chain solutions. It also operates a sub-brand called Luxnglow, which extends the company into branded product offerings.

The company reaches customers primarily through a sales-led go-to-market approach anchored by its website, a Request a Quote call-to-action, a direct phone line staffed 24/7/365 by live representatives, and a self-service online order portal. Service delivery leverages an owned regional fleet supplemented by a network of 42 partner agents and North American and international affiliates, enabling cross-border shipment capability. The company holds memberships in the Canadian Trucking Alliance, FMCSA, NMFTA, and the Guelph and Cambridge Chambers of Commerce, supporting its cross-border operating posture.

Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee, quote-based model across the integrated service portfolio, with no public pricing disclosed. No external funding, parent company, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or named enterprise customer logos are present in the source data, indicating a founder- or closely-held private operating profile. Technology is centered on a proprietary in-house inventory control system rather than commercial WMS or TMS platforms, and no AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.
