About TransLoop
TransLoop is a Chicago, Illinois-based digital 3PL founded in 2019 by Nicholas Reasoner, Scott Houdek, Brien Maloney, and Chris Sujka, ranked #71 on Transport Topics' 2026 Top 100 Freight Brokerage Firms with $255 million in gross revenue. TransLoop is the second-year recipient of TT Top 100 recognition after just five years in business — one of the fastest-growing brokers on the 2026 list and an Inc. Regionals Midwest honoree.
TransLoop's competitive advantage is the digital-first platform — a collaborative network with pre-approved carrier vetting, live shipment tracking, and a driver-facing app that streamlines carrier engagement. Per Transport Topics 2026, dry van TL is primary; reefer, LTL, intermodal, flatbed, expedited, and bulk/tank are active. The Chicago Loop headquarters provides natural density on cross-country corridors. Five US office locations support national execution.
For shippers evaluating TransLoop, the strongest fit is a mid-market or growth-stage shipper who values digital-first technology — instant quoting, live tracking, API/EDI integration — and is willing to engage with a younger broker for the technology upside. Enterprise shippers requiring decade-long incumbency may prefer Tier 1 brokers; TransLoop's edge is platform polish and growth velocity.
