About Forza Logistics Group
Forza Logistics Group is a freight brokerage and managed transportation company specializing in refrigerated freight, high-value cargo and security-focused transportation. After more than thirty years on the shipper side of the supply chain, we knew exactly what was missing. This isn’t logistics. It’s personal.
Built by shippers, for shippers
Before founding Forza, our leadership spent more than three decades in food distribution, produce, perishables and supply chain operations. That means we understand transportation from the customer’s side of the desk.
We know the operational consequences of a missed appointment, a late truck, a temperature problem, rejected product and a broker who goes quiet exactly when the freight gets difficult. We lived those consequences before we ever sold a load.
So our team does not simply ask how to cover a shipment. We ask what has to happen for it to succeed, what risk has to be controlled, and what our customer needs to know before they have to ask.
Where we specialize
Produce, dairy, cheese, fresh and frozen protein, food and beverage. Cold chain takes more than finding a reefer. It takes carrier selection, temperature in writing, visibility and disciplined execution. When refrigerated freight fails, the cost runs well past the transportation invoice.
Metals, industrial products and cargo that attracts attention. Cargo theft, fictitious pickups, identity fraud, double brokering and spoofed communication have made carrier verification the whole game. Higher risk freight gets enhanced verification before it is released.
Forza Shield™
Forza Shield is our multi-layer carrier security and fraud prevention protocol. Traditional carrier vetting is no longer enough on high-value or high-risk freight, so we verify through several independent platforms rather than a single lookup.
Depending on the shipment and the customer’s requirements, additional high-value controls apply. See how Forza Shield works.
The No Surprises Freight Guarantee™
We cannot promise weather will never close a lane, equipment will never fail, or a receiver will never delay a load. What we control is how we respond, and whether you hear it from us first.
We cannot promise nothing will ever go wrong. We can promise you will not face it alone.

A message from our founder
I spent more than thirty years on the shipper side before starting Forza. I know what it feels like to depend on a transportation company when your product, your customer and your reputation are on the line.
The best logistics partners make your job easier. The worst disappear the moment things get difficult.
So I wanted to build the company I always wished I could call. Where people answer the phone. Where problems get communicated instead of buried. Where freight security matters before the truck reaches the dock. Where technology supports the relationship instead of replacing it. And where earning a customer’s trust matters more than winning another load.
That is what we are building at Forza. This isn’t logistics. It’s personal.
