About TAGG Logistics
TAGG Logistics is a Cincinnati, Ohio-based third-party logistics provider and freight broker founded in 2005, serving consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands and direct-to-consumer (DTC) companies. Unlike pure-play freight brokers, TAGG combines fulfillment operations — including warehousing, pick-and-pack, and order management — with freight brokerage for dry van and LTL transport. This integrated model makes TAGG particularly relevant for emerging and mid-size brands that want a single logistics partner managing both their warehouse operations and outbound freight rather than coordinating between separate fulfillment and brokerage vendors.
The company's geographic base in Cincinnati positions it well within one of North America's most central freight markets, providing access to major population centers in the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast within one or two days of transit. TAGG's carrier network on Midwest dry van and LTL lanes supports both wholesale replenishment shipments to retail distribution centers and direct consumer order fulfillment. The company's experience with retail compliance requirements — including routing guides, EDI mandates, and on-time delivery scorecards from major retailers — is a relevant differentiator for CPG brands selling through brick-and-mortar retail channels.
For CPG and DTC brands that are scaling their logistics infrastructure and want to consolidate freight and fulfillment under a single provider, TAGG Logistics offers a practical model. Its managed transportation capabilities allow brands to outsource carrier selection and load optimization while maintaining visibility through TAGG's technology integrations with e-commerce and warehouse management platforms. Shippers at very high volume may eventually outgrow TAGG and move to larger 3PLs, but for brands in the $10M–$150M revenue range managing national distribution, TAGG's combination of services is well-matched.

Pros & Cons
- Rare fulfillment-plus-brokerage model lets CPG and DTC brands consolidate warehousing and freight under one provider
- Strong Midwest freight network supports both retail replenishment and DTC order fulfillment from a centrally located hub
- Retail compliance expertise — including EDI and routing guide management — reduces charge-backs for CPG brands selling through major retailers
- Technology integrations with e-commerce platforms and WMS systems suit brands managing omnichannel distribution
- Managed transportation service allows brands to outsource carrier optimization without building an internal TMS
- Service model is narrowly focused on CPG and DTC — industrial, automotive, and bulk commodity shippers are a poor fit
- Scale is smaller than national 3PLs; very high-volume brands may find capacity constraints in peak seasons
- Reefer, flatbed, and specialty freight are not core offerings
- Limited public rate benchmarking data — shippers should request detailed pricing and compare against dedicated freight brokers

FAQ
Is TAGG Logistics licensed and bonded as a freight broker?
TAGG Logistics is expected to hold active FMCSA broker authority and a $75,000 BMC-84 surety bond. Specific MC# and DOT# are not confirmed — verify at li-public.fmcsa.dot.gov before tendering freight.
What types of freight does TAGG Logistics move?
TAGG brokers dry van truckload and LTL for consumer goods — full pallets to retail DCs, partials, and outbound fulfillment. Specialties: general merchandise, packaged goods, health and beauty. Reefer and flatbed are not core.
How do TAGG Logistics's rates compare to other freight brokers?
Should be competitive on Midwest dry van and LTL lanes via regional carrier network. As a combined fulfillment + brokerage provider, freight pricing is often bundled into 3PL service agreements — separate fulfillment and transportation line items to evaluate the true brokerage margin.
