About R2 Logistics
R2 Logistics is a Jacksonville, Florida-based full-service freight broker founded in 2007. The company generated approximately $270 million in gross brokerage revenue in 2024 and is one of the largest independently operated brokers headquartered in the Southeast US. R2's core strengths are dry van FTL, refrigerated truckload, and expedited freight — modes where its deep Southeast carrier relationships and lane density provide a genuine competitive advantage over brokers based outside the region.
The company's geographic positioning in Jacksonville gives it natural density on Florida Corridor, Gulf Coast, and Southeast-to-Midwest lanes that Northeast or Midwest-headquartered brokers may underservice. R2 Logistics operates an expedited freight desk that handles time-critical shipments via ground expedite and air charter options, serving manufacturing and healthcare-pharma shippers with service-sensitive freight. Managed transportation services are available for shippers seeking to outsource freight operations on a contractual basis.
For shippers evaluating R2 Logistics, the strongest fit is Southeast-heavy freight programs — particularly Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Gulf Coast lanes — where R2's carrier relationships and regional expertise deliver results that national brokers may not match at equivalent service levels. Reefer and expedited shippers in those corridors are particularly well served. Shippers with primarily West Coast, Midwest, or cross-border needs may find better options with brokers who have stronger density in those regions.
