Delivering Specialized First and Final
Mile Control Tower Solutions Across North America
RENTON,
Wash., Aug. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Radiant
Logistics, Inc. (NYSE American: RLGT), a technology-enabled global
transportation and value-added logistics services company, today
announced the continued expansion of its freight forwarding network
with the opening of a new company owned operating location in
Kansas City, Missouri that will
operate as Radiant Global Logistics ("RGL-MKC"). The Kansas City location will provide specialized
first and final mile control tower solutions with a focus on
commercial and residential services requiring white-glove and other
specialized services across North
America.
With over 20 years of experience, Nancy
Davis will lead RGL-MKC, leveraging Radiant's robust
technology platform, carrier base and extensive North American
footprint. Nancy and her team are well recognized in the
Kansas City region and beyond,
having operated as Freight Concepts since 2007 and having served as
a strategic operating partner for Radiant, flying the Adcom flag in
Kansas City since March of 2018.
Now as RGL-MKC, the group will provide customized first and final
mile control tower solutions for customers requiring on-time,
damage free, threshold to white glove pick up and delivery
services.
"We are very excited for what is a very natural progression in
our partnership with Radiant," said Davis. "Given the shifting
market dynamics, we believe we are in a unique position to step in
and help fill the gap created by the very unfortunate circumstance
at Yellow. Yellow Logistics had been long time customer for us as
Adcom/Freight Concepts here in Kansas
City. We have been working behind the scenes helping Yellow
and many of their customers with their first and final mile needs,
including white glove and project pool distributions in
North America, for over a
decade."
As part of the launch, RGL-MKC is happy to welcome Brian Brownson (formerly leading Yellow
Logistics' – Residential Direct division) and his team to Radiant's
new operation in Kansas City.
"With the help of Brian Brownson and
the resources of Radiant, we have the opportunity to really step up
for these customers and build something special here in
Kansas City along the way," said
Davis.
"We are very proud to combine Nancy and Brian's teams to create
a first and final mile powerhouse in Kansas City," remarked Radiant's Founder and
CEO, Bohn Crain. "Their
passion and expertise in first and final mile are well recognized
in the marketplace. We are moving just as quickly as we can to
minimize any disruption for these former Yellow customers and look
forward to them getting to know us as Radiant. We pride ourselves
on delivering for our customers – and this is a great opportunity
for us to do just that."
