Authority & Compliance

Operating with full authority and maintaining the highest standards of compliance and safety.

Operating Authority

Licensed & Authorized

Freight SideKick operates as a non-exclusive agency, working through contracts with multiple logistics providers rather than under a single MC number. This structure allows us to aggregate capacity from top-performing partners so we can offer the best combination of service, equipment, pricing, and network reach for each customer's specific needs.

When you book with us, your account is placed with the most suitable provider in our network. This approach gives us a laser focus on customer service, backed by strong partnerships, while offering custom-built tools and technology to enhance the shipping process.

Our model enables us to:

Access a broad network of carriers
Provide specialized equipment and services
Offer competitive pricing options
Deliver enhanced customer service through dedicated partnerships
Leverage custom technology solutions
