Your Reliable Partner for Expedited Freight Solutions
Founded in April 1990 by Mike Fitzharris and Linda Knight, our company began as an exclusive sales agency for a major freight forwarder, leveraging decades of combined experience in air freight. We expanded into expedited trucking in the mid-1990s after a client requested a daily Chicago airport shuttle, establishing our one-stop-shop model for domestic services. By 2004, we grew our fleet to six semi-tractor trailers and launched Fitzharris Logistics, an FMCSA-authorized freight brokerage, in 2005 to enhance ground transportation capabilities. Our adoption of Sylectus dispatch software connected us to thousands of trucks across North America, strengthening our ability to meet customer needs.Headquartered near Indianapolis International Airport in a 13,000-square-foot facility, we specialize in expedited trucking, air freight forwarding, and freight brokerage, prioritizing timely delivery, cost efficiency, and customized solutions. Our team analyzes each shipment to recommend optimal ground or air transport options, ensuring reliability and transparency. With 24/7 roadside assistance, full equipment insurance, and a commitment to innovative problem-solving, we deliver tailored logistics programs for complex requirements.
