## About

AMX Logistics is the brokerage division within the broader AMX (Alabama Motor Express) family of companies, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Ashford, Alabama. The broader AMX organization is family-owned and operates four divisions — Trucking, Logistics (the brokerage arm), Drayage, and Academy — across offices in Ashford AL, Atlanta GA, Jackson GA, and Savannah GA. AMX Logistics is ranked #89 on the Transport Topics 2026 Top 100 Freight Brokerage Firms list with an estimated $170 million in gross brokerage revenue and an estimated $12 million in net revenue (~7% net margin).

Per Transport Topics 2026, AMX's mode mix lists dry van as primary, with active reefer, LTL, flatbed/heavy-haul, and expedited desks. The brokerage holds FMCSA authority under MC-196425 with both Broker and Freight Forwarder authority types active, plus a Freight Forwarder license (FF-71178). Sister divisions handle asset-based trucking and drayage, giving AMX Logistics integrated capacity options on Southeast and Gulf Coast lanes.

For shippers evaluating AMX Logistics, the strongest fit is Southeast and Gulf Coast freight programs that benefit from an integrated 3PL with both brokerage and asset-based trucking under one parent. Shippers needing intermodal, cross-border Mexico/Canada, ocean, parcel, or managed transportation services will need to combine AMX with specialist providers.
