What uShip Logistics LLC does

uShip Logistics LLC (legal entity uShip Concierge LLC) is a Texas-incorporated, FMCSA-licensed property brokerage that provides managed vehicle transport services for B2B customers, operating as a subsidiary of uShip Inc. The company sources, screens, and coordinates qualified motor carriers on behalf of shippers, offering three core products: a Managed Logistics service that handles quoting, dispatch, tracking, and cargo claims via dedicated account managers; a Marketplace TMS that uses proprietary carrier matching algorithms to align shipments with carriers based on customer preferences, service levels, and distance; and API Solutions that enable enterprise and high-volume shippers to programmatically submit orders and receive quotes, reducing manual data entry.

The company serves eight distinct verticals, with primary focus on Fleets & Leasing and Dealerships & OEM, and secondary segments including Remarketing, Rental, Upfitting & AME, Construction, Home Delivery, and E-commerce/Manufacturing/Retail. Carrier compliance screening at the point of dispatch covers DOT compliance, insurance verification, and FMCSA safety ratings. Operational KPIs include an 8-hour minimum median quote response time, 23-hour average time from quote to dispatch, and 2.1-day average time to load after dispatch.

Revenue is generated through brokerage fees on each arranged shipment (transaction-fee model) plus managed services for vehicle storage, with pricing custom-quoted based on shipment specifics. Payment terms are Net 30 via ACH or credit card. Go-to-market combines direct account management for enterprise and mid-market customers, inside sales via website quote requests, API-driven integration for high-volume shippers, and referral channels within fleet, dealership, and remarketing industry networks. The company is BBB Accredited and was recognized as a Top Workplaces Austin employer in 2021.
