After thirty years in business, we’re seeing double! When it comes to finding ways to improve our carrier relations, carrier capacity, database management and efficiency of communication, we’re relentless. That’s why Matchmaker committed additional resources to augmenting and improving our database in order to better target customer-specific needs. In less than one year, we have doubled the number of carriers we can reach with the push of a button. Load offers go to specific carriers whose capacity matches our customer’s needs. Robbie Johnson joined the Matchmaker team in September 2010 as a Carrier Development

When it comes to relationships with our carriers, we take an old-fashioned, long-term approach. Read why one of our carriers is a fan of our representatives’ old-school Southern charm: Our trucking company has worked with Matchmaker Logistics for more than a decade. Just like Matchmaker, we are also a family-owned and operated business. And just like us, Matchmaker is dedicated to building strong, personal relationships in the industry. Our office team and our drivers especially enjoy working with Mary and Pam, the Carrier Sales Representatives. You don’t find such polite, caring, and understanding Southern belles

In the last half of the year, we decided to have a little fun with a “cheap date horrors” contest: Congratulations to Bridgett Cannady who won the contest with this entry: Proms don’t have to be overpriced!! When I was in high school, a couple from our school went out to eat at McDonalds before the prom. McDonalds was conveniently located across the street from the convention center

Everyone in my office knows that Matchmaker Logistics is our go-to company for moving freight because they have consistently proven themselves to be dependable, trustworthy, and completely committed to us as customers. Jim Skane even traveled from NC to our CT home office to pay us a personal visit. No other company has shown such a strong interest in partnering with us and meeting our needs-on time, every time.” – Dan Roy, CRF Interiors

Here’s what one of our carriers had to say about our approach to doing business: “Our trucking company hauls about 360 loads a year for Matchmaker Logistics; consequently we share a close working relationship with the Matchmaker team. As a carrier, we appreciate that they communicate with us and work with us on setting reasonable deadlines. Most importantly, all members of the team are knowledgeable and personable. They speak directly to our drivers, get to know them as individuals, and treat them with the

Junior calculated a minute then replied: “Somewhere around $15, I think.” “Well,” said his father, “I’m proud of you for finally coming up with an inexpensive evening.” “To be honest Dad,” Junior went on, “we’d have done more, but that was all the money she had.” At Matchmaker, we approach every business transaction with a commitment to a long-term relationship; we don’t believe in acting like a cheap date, a

At the conference, we work to renew and strengthen relationships with the industry’s best carriers (2600+ members to date) while vetting new companies to join our team. Former Tennessee senator (and actor) Fred Thompson will be the keynote speaker. If the title of his book, Teaching the Pig to Dance, is any indication, it’s sure to be an interesting speech! The title comes from Thompson’s early years in school where he

With 30 years of experience in the industry, we believe that experience, customer service and integrity are what count when it comes to freight brokerage. The only time we want anything to do with a one-night-stand is when it comes in the form of a clever Halloween costume! We had a feeling you’d agree. Look closely, and you’ll notice this one-night stand comes complete with accessories, including a pack of cigarettes and a lipstick-kissed note

Here’s what one of our longtime clients had to say about our approach to doing business: “As a fully integrated international transport and distribution company, we arrange the transportation of cargo around the world. We use Matchmaker Logistics for a part of our domestic transportation, and have done so for more than a decade.
