Radiant Logistics

Radiant Logistics is a publicly traded freight broker (NYSE American: RLGT) headquartered in Bellevue, WA, founded in 2006. Unlike most brokers that operate under a single brand, Radiant operates through a multi-brand model — acquiring regional freight brokers and operating them as semi-autonomous entities under the Radiant umbrella. This structure means shippers may interact with Radiant through subsidiary brands rather than the Radiant name directly. The company's estimated gross brokerage revenue is approximately $175 million.

Radiant's primary modes are dry van FTL and LTL, with cross-border Canada as a notable strength — a differentiator rooted in the company's Pacific Northwest base and Canadian network of operating partners. The multi-brand acquisition strategy has given Radiant geographic breadth across the US and Canada that its revenue rank might not suggest. Managed transportation is an active offering for shippers who want outsourced freight management rather than transactional brokerage.

For shippers evaluating Radiant, the clearest fit is for US-Canada cross-border freight — particularly Pacific Northwest to Canada lanes — and for mid-market shippers who want a publicly accountable broker with managed transportation capability. The multi-brand structure can create service variability across geographies; shippers should confirm which operating entity will handle their freight and verify that entity's FMCSA authority before tendering loads.
