Walker Transport LLC

What Walker Transport LLC does

Walker Transport LLC is a woman-owned freight brokerage and full-service logistics provider founded in 2004 and headquartered in Felton, Pennsylvania. The company arranges domestic freight transportation on behalf of shippers across all 48 contiguous U.S. states through three service lines: less-than-truckload (LTL), full truckload (FTL, including 53' dry vans, reefers, flatbeds, stepdecks, lowboys, RGNs, and hot shot equipment), and rail/intermodal. Walker Transport operates as a traditional, non-asset-based broker, earning margin on the spread between shipper rates and carrier costs rather than running proprietary technology or owned trucks.

The company is sales-led and acquires customers through its website quote request form, direct outreach, and a network of independent freight agents who bring their own shipper relationships. Pricing is quote-based per shipment, with no public rate cards or tiered subscriptions. Each shipper is assigned a dedicated team member acting as a logistics advocate, supported by 24/7 live phone support. Walker Transport holds a WBENC Women's Business Enterprise certification and a Women in Trucking 2022 Top Woman-Owned Business recognition, providing access to corporate and government buyers with supplier-diversity mandates. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and a headcount of 1-10 employees.
