Your business was never designed to be ordinary. Your logistics partner shouldn’t be either.

Redwood Multimodal, a subsidiary of Redwood Logistics, is a full-service, non-asset brokerage company that takes pride in providing unparalleled transportation services to our customers while maintaining mutually beneficial relationships with our carriers. Unlike other brokers, we invest an additional one percent of our gross revenues directly back into the resources necessary to maintain our excellent service.

Whether you are a shipper in food and beverage with products that have a short shelf-life, healthcare that requires temperature-controlled trucking, or retail with a complex omnichannel network – our combination of mode expertise, operational excellence, and focus on safety and compliance will get your goods to their destination.
