MC Systems, INC

What MC Systems, INC does

MC Systems, INC, operating under the brand name "Going Your Way," is a privately held freight brokerage company founded in 2008. The firm is headquartered at 355 W. Carob Street, Compton, California, and provides Full Truckload (FTL) and Less Than Truckload (LTL) freight brokerage services that connect business shippers with a network of pre-vetted motor carriers across Southern and Northern California. Its book of business is anchored by enterprise retail accounts — most notably Best Buy and Marmaxx (a TJX Companies banner) — for which it operates dedicated store-delivery, shuttle, and local pickup programs with customer-specific, zone-based flat-rate pricing. There are no disclosed subsidiaries, parent companies, or external investors.

The core offering is an asset-light, non-asset brokerage rather than a technology product. Operations are coordinated via published carrier rate sheets, mile-based linehaul rates, stop-off fees, and fuel surcharge tables (TL and LTL variants) referenced against the DOE National Average Diesel Fuel Price. The company has no evidence of proprietary software, API, mobile application, or telematics integrations in the input data; its public footprint is limited to a Squarespace-hosted marketing site and direct phone/email coordination (310-928-7357 / [email protected]). Revenue is generated on a transactional take-rate basis: effective March 15, 2026, carriers receive 97% of the Base Rate (raised from 95% effective May 4, 2025), implying the broker retains approximately 3% of the base freight rate, with additional stop and FSC-based fees layered on top.

Go-to-market is direct and local: customers contact MC Systems by phone or email and no third-party resellers, partner networks, content marketing, or social channels are present in the data. The company is privately held, has no disclosed management team, no funding history, no M&A activity, no awards, no patents, no compliance certifications, and an 8-employee headcount. In sum, MC Systems is best understood as a small, owner-operated, regionally concentrated brokerage whose principal asset is a 16-year operating track record and dedicated retail delivery lanes rather than technology, scale, or capital deployment.
