Dupré Logistics

Dupré Logistics was founded in 1980 in Lafayette, Louisiana, and has spent more than four decades building expertise in the transportation of specialized freight — particularly temperature-controlled products, chemical and energy sector cargo, and dry van truckload. Lafayette's position in the heart of Louisiana's petrochemical corridor made chemical and energy logistics a natural specialization, and Dupré developed deep relationships with carriers qualified to handle regulated, hazardous, and temperature-sensitive freight in the Gulf Coast region and beyond.

Over the decades, Dupré expanded its brokerage and managed transportation capabilities alongside its asset operations, developing into a full logistics company that serves clients in food and beverage, chemicals, agriculture, and manufacturing. The company's reefer expertise is particularly relevant for food and beverage shippers in the South Central US, where temperature-controlled lanes connecting Louisiana, Texas, and the broader Southeast are critical. Dupré remains privately held after more than 40 years in business, giving it the operational continuity and regional focus that its specialized client base values.

Today, Dupré Logistics generates an estimated $65 million in annual gross revenue and operates as a regional specialist rather than a national generalist. For shippers moving chemical, energy, or temperature-controlled freight along Gulf Coast and South Central corridors, Dupré offers carrier relationships, regulatory knowledge, and regional market depth that national brokers often cannot match. Shippers needing LTL, intermodal, or flatbed services should look elsewhere, as those modes are outside Dupré's core service profile.
