BlueGrace Logistics Buying Transportation Solutions Provider FreightCenter

By Amit Chowdhry • Jan 10, 2025

BlueGrace Logistics, a leading Third-Party Logistics (3PL) provider operating within North America, announced the acquisition of FreightCenter, an online transportation solutions provider that started 26 years ago. This strategic deal expands BlueGrace’s customer base by integrating FreightCenter’s clients with BlueGrace’s advanced suite of logistics tools and services.

FreightCenter customers gain access to BlueGrace’s unified transportation management system, BlueShip TMS, enabling seamless freight management across various shipping modes. And they will also benefit from BlueGrace’s industry-leading truckload and less-than-truckload (LTL) services, supported by a vast carrier network and competitive pricing options. Additionally, FreightCenter’s customers will now get access to EVOS™ load optimization tools, stemming from another recent acquisition BlueGrace did in 2024.

BlueGrace Managed Logistics offerings can provide tailored solutions to meet FreightCenter’s needs of customers of a higher volume. These customized services improve supply chain operations, enhance efficiency and data-based decision-making, and drive long-term growth. These tools and services simplify complex supply chains and deliver exceptional results.

This acquisition aligns with BlueGrace’s goal to deliver simplified logistics solutions for all size businesses. And FreightCenter will continue to operate as an independent business under its current brand, ensuring continuity for its customers and partners.
