About Capstone Logistics
Capstone Logistics is a Peachtree Corners, Georgia-based supply-chain solutions provider founded in 1986 and now a portfolio company of H.I.G. Capital. The company's brokerage entity, Capstone Logistics LLC, holds active FMCSA broker authority MC-93677 / USDOT 2431382 and ranks #69 on the 2026 Transport Topics Top 100 Freight Brokerage Firms with $268M in gross brokerage revenue and $52M net (19.4% margin). The parent company operates 560+ locations across 49 US states, Canada, and Australia, with approximately 19,000 associates and a 60,000+ carrier network.
Capstone's distinguishing model is the integration of brokerage with warehouse and distribution-center operations — primarily serving grocery, foodservice, retail, and CPG end markets. Per Transport Topics 2026, brokered loads cover LTL, dry van truckload, and refrigerated. The company's last-mile capability and warehouse-anchored transportation flows position it as a single-source 3PL for shippers wanting bundled DC support and brokerage rather than standalone freight execution.
For shippers evaluating Capstone, the strongest fit is grocery, foodservice, and CPG companies with significant DC operations who want one provider managing inbound freight and warehousing. The 19.4% net margin reflects a service-led, asset-light 3PL with strong account economics. Shippers needing flatbed, intermodal, cross-border Mexico, or air capability will need to look elsewhere — Capstone's freight footprint is concentrated in dry van, reefer, and LTL aligned to grocery/CPG flows.
