What C.A.T. Global Inc. does

C.A.T. Global Inc. (legal entity C.A.T. Inc.) is a North American freight brokerage and logistics division of C.A.T. Group, a diversified transportation conglomerate with over 40 years of industry history. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Coteau-du-Lac, Quebec, the company operates as an intermediary connecting shippers with a network of over 20,000 transportation partners across Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Its primary customer segments are independent brick-and-mortar businesses and rapidly growing e-commerce franchises, with secondary exposure to temperature-sensitive and specialized (oversize/overweight) freight shippers. The company is C.A.T. Group's second-largest division and has been recognized as one of Canada's Best Managed Companies.

The company's service portfolio spans six core offerings: truckload and LTL (over-the-road domestic and cross-border), temperature-controlled transport, specialized freight, intermodal (rail-road multimodal), drayage (port services), and warehousing (storage and fulfillment). Operationally, C.A.T. Global runs a traditional brokerage model with no proprietary technology platform, no owned fleet, and no documented AI or automation capabilities. It relies on commercial carrier portals (RMIS) for carrier interactions, a Dayforce HCM for HR, and a website quote-request workflow for customer acquisition. Pricing is entirely quote-based, with no public rate cards or tiered pricing models.

C.A.T. Global generates revenue by earning a transactional margin between rates charged to shippers and rates paid to carrier partners. Its go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct sales teams, business development representatives, and inbound website quote requests. The company maintains 10 offices across Canada (Coteau-du-Lac, Vaudreuil-Dorion, Toronto, Boisbriand), the U.S. (Columbus, Plano, Germantown/Memphis, Duluth/Atlanta, San Antonio), and Mexico (Monterrey), providing regional coverage across North America's major freight corridors. No external investor funding, public listing, or ownership transfer has been disclosed.
