Global Conveyance, LLC

What Global Conveyance, LLC does

Global Conveyance, LLC is a privately held, founder-led freight brokerage headquartered in Shreveport, Louisiana, founded in 2014 by Michael Powers. The company acts as an intermediary rather than an asset-based carrier, arranging domestic and international freight across land, air, and sea on behalf of business customers. Its service portfolio spans Less Than Truckload (LTL), Full Truckload (FTL) with 16,000+ pre-qualified carriers, Air Shipping via 145+ airlines, Expedited Shipping for time-sensitive freight, International Shipping (ocean and air), Supply Chain Services (storage, warehousing, cross-docking, transloading, palletization), Rail, and Drayage. Cross-border capability is enabled through partnerships with licensed Customs Brokers at Sheltered International and Airways Freight, which process entries at all U.S. air, sea, and land ports.

The business model is a multi-mode 3PL/brokerage model: revenue is earned via transaction fees on arranged freight (carrier commissions and shipper margins), supplemented by professional-services fees from customs brokerage and managed-services fees from warehousing and distribution. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct B2B sales managed by the founder via phone (318-200-0790, 877-863-7477) and email ([email protected]), with the company website serving as the primary marketing presence. The customer segment is horizontal: any B2B shipper requiring domestic or international logistics, with no named reference customers, no vertical specialization, and no disclosed anchor accounts.

The firm operates with a skeleton staff (1-10 employees) and no proprietary technology platform, API, or mobile app. Value is delivered through personal relationships, founder expertise (15+ years in logistics and customs brokerage), and access to a broad but largely industry-standard carrier network rather than through differentiated technology or scale. Ownership is concentrated with the founder; no institutional investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity are disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• RXO (formerly XPO Logistics brokerage): RXO is a major asset-light freight brokerage spun out of XPO, providing truckload, LTL, last-mile, and managed transportation. It competes with Global Conveyance for the same B2B shipper base in truckload and LTL arrangements.
