Logistics Solutions

We are currently purchasing only open deck and specialized equipment which includes variations of flatbed trailers, step-deck trailers, conestoga trailers, and RGN/lowboy trailers with 2-4 axles for specialized loads. Since we are a broker first, we can utilize our carrier network to access any type of trailer or we can lease/purchase specific trailers for dedicated long term accounts.

MadCo transports most open deck freight with very few exceptions. The most common freight we haul includes, but is not limited to transporting building materials, steel products, lumber products, logs, poles, small machinery, aerospace products, military products, landscape products, agriculture products, over-dimensional loads, and specialized loads. We also have a brokerage division, so please reach out to our team to find out if your freight is a good fit within our asset or logistics network. You can reach us directly at (614) 219-3160, or by sending us an email at info@madcotransportation.com.

Yes, however we do not have the assets in our fleet, but we can move dry van, refrigerated, Less than truckload (LTL), and hazmat freight through our logistics division. Please contact sales for information.

Yes, we have trained over-dimensional specialists in our dispatch office and we hire experienced drivers to assist in most over-height, over-length, and overweight shipments. With more complex projects, we are able to source partner carriers with specific trailer and trucks if necessary. Please contact sales for info on moving OD loads.

We have partnered with a private firm in Chicago Illinois, Miami FL, and have invested over $250k in annual software expenses to built out our tech stack necessary to serve you, our customer. Our technology partners also have invested years of development and millions of dollars into their customized transportation management system (TMS), tracking tools, and the user experience. In addition, all our trucks are equipped with new asset tracking technology that is directly connected to our TMS and all carrier partners must enable tracking. This allows our operations team to provide a level of service that was once thought impossible, giving our customers innovative asset-based logistics solutions unlike any other open deck and specialized carrier.

In order to provide our shipping customers with the flexibility that they require, we have a completely separate, well-vetted carrier network through our brokerage division to provide that extra support first. We only have a small list of company drivers and owner operators leased to our asset operations, but are working to increase that number to 500+ trucks as quickly as possible. It is our goal to offer our assets loads first, before we approach our partner network, but every load and situation is different.

MadCo trucks and trailers are equipped with GPS tracking technology and ping both the operations team and customer with load updates, but we also have more options for tracking a shipment. One, we send out email notifications every step of the way when you provide us with your email and then your team's email addresses. Two, we can provide general and customized tracking links for each individual shipment that provides live simultaneous updates with traffic, weather, and terrain maps. Three, the IT team can connect our tracking software with an API link to your internal system using several third parties. Four, we are able to provide a customer portal that provides load status updates on all current and future shipments.

MadCo prides ourselves in reliability, integrity, and going the extra mile for our customers. We believe communication is key in the transportation and logistics business and we strive to provide updates about any issues that occur. In the event that a truck is delayed, there is weather, accident, or other unforeseen issues, we will do our best to resolve conflicts quickly and keep you in the loop.

Our onboarding process is quick and seamless. We just need to collect some data on contact and accounting information, ask that you fill out a credit application and then get you back to our sales or dispatch team to continue scheduling your load. Reach out to our support team to receive the required forms to become our customer by giving us a call at (614) 219-3160 or email info@madcotransportation.com

Our dispatch and/or sales team can provide same day shipping quotes. For customers sending over RFQs and more detailed annual bids, please allow our sales, pricing and dispatch team longer time for completion.

We require that our customers agree to our terms and conditions, our rates are accepted, our accessorial rates are accepted, customers have strong credit ratings or agree to quick payment options or prepayment to avoid financial risks.

We gladly accept bank wire transfers, ACH payment, cash on pickup, cash on delivery, visa, mastercard, american express, and with larger customers we extend net terms with approval.

Yes, both our logistics and trucking divisions are licensed and bonded completely separate of each other for full coverage.

Yes, our trucking division is insured with general liability, auto liability, cargo liability, physical damage liability, workers compensation, and non-trucking liability insurance. All leased contractors have the same coverage as well.

Our standard cargo liability coverage is $250,000 on each truck, but we are able to request higher coverage of individual shipments for an add-on fee.

We are an irregular route carrier operating in all 48 states of America, with a heavy concentration of trucks in the Midwest and southeast regions. In addition, our logistics team can serve all of North America, cross boarder, and international freight.

Yes, MadCo offers a drop trailer option at shipper or receiver through our trucking division or with our carrier partners. With a truck to trailer ratio that allows us to drop trailers according to the customers needs in an efficient and reliable manner and when we are maxed out, we have options to purchase/lease extra equipment.

We run both new and used equipment with a heavy focus on routine safety, compliance and maintenance. All our trucks and trailers are required to have a thoroughly detailed inspection every 90 days, with no exceptions. Our carrier partners operate new and older equipment too, but we place a strong emphasis on long term partners in order for us to gauge their attention to repairs. 

We have an office downtown Columbus Ohio, we have an office in South Florida, we have several employees that work remotely in the United States, and then we have several support staff overseas too. We are also working on setting up secured parking throughout the country as we build out on network. If you are in the area, we would love for you to visit our HQ in South Florida. 

MadCo Inc was incorporated in the state of Ohio and established in 2018. We continue to grow operations year over year and look forward to staying in business for years to come.
