UMT Global Logistics

What UMT Global Logistics does

UMT Global Logistics is a US-based, privately held freight transportation and third-party logistics provider operating as UMT Global Group LLC from its Naperville, Illinois headquarters, with a second office serving St. Louis. Founded in 2020, the company combines an asset-based truckload fleet of more than 697 trucks and 1,244 trailers (all two years old or newer) with a vetted third-party carrier network, providing expedited, contract, dedicated, drop-trailer, and white-gloom tradeshow transport alongside 3PL brokerage and on-site managed transportation services. Its customer base includes large enterprises such as USPS, UPS, FedEx Express, WestRock, Hobby Lobby, and T-Force (McLane), with a focus on high-value, time-critical, and security-sensitive freight across logistics, packaging, retail, and wholesale distribution. The company reports 74,000+ loads completed without cargo loss and offers 14-day average ACH payment terms to carrier partners.

The underlying technology is anchored by the proprietary UMT TMS, which handles end-to-end truckload planning, tendering, tracking, and exception handling, and by Open-Dock software for automated driver check-in and yard flow. UMT extends this stack through a multi-vendor integration envelope: Macropoint and FourKites for live location and ETA visibility, Motive for telematics and camera-based dispute documentation, CargoNet and GenLogs for theft and threat intelligence, Carrier411 and Highway for carrier authority, insurance, and safety verification, Indemni for driver-level identity verification, and EDI plus API connections that link directly into customer TMS systems. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales supported by website-based quote requests, with revenue generated through quote-based, multi-year contracts spanning asset-based transportation services, brokerage transactions, and managed transportation engagements. The company reports no external funding rounds and operates with a headcount of 51-100 employees, indicating an asset-and-technology-led operating model rather than a labor-heavy one.
