Active North American Network 24/7 Dispatch Desk
Avenport Logistics LLC coordinates full truckload, temperature-controlled, flatbed and expedited freight between commercial shippers and vetted motor carriers across the United States, Canada and Mexico. Every load is tendered against verified operating authority, an active safety rating and a current certificate of insurance — then tracked from rate confirmation through proof of delivery.

Targets and minimum thresholds, not historical averages. Carrier insurance and authority are verified on every tender, before a load is assigned.
Active interstate operating authority, MC and USDOT numbers and safety rating are checked against FMCSA records before a carrier is added to the network.
Certificates of insurance are pulled direct from the agent of record and re-verified at expiry, with Avenport named as certificate holder.
Scheduled check calls on a four-hour cadence in transit, backed by GPS location on equipment that supports it and immediate exception alerts.
Rate confirmations, bills of lading and proof of delivery issued and returned digitally, so accessorials and detention are documented as they happen.
Freight Services
Avenport arranges transportation as a licensed property broker: we hold the shipper relationship, vet and contract the motor carrier, and stay on the load until delivery is documented. The equipment below is what we tender against every day.
Single-tender dry van capacity on contract and spot lanes, with the trailer dedicated to your freight from pickup through delivery — no cross-docking, no transloading, one bill of lading.
Refrigerated capacity for perishable, frozen and climate-sensitive freight, dispatched with the set point, pre-cool requirement and continuous or cycle-sentry mode confirmed in writing on the rate confirmation.
Open-deck coordination for building materials, steel, machinery and equipment, matched to the securement and clearance the load actually needs rather than to whatever is nearest.
Direct-drive capacity for production-down, recovery and appointment-critical freight, sourced against hours-of-service remaining rather than against a posted rate alone.
Moving something that does not fit the four lines above — LTL and partial loads, flatbed out of a port, or a recurring dedicated lane? Describe it on the quote form and a dispatcher will come back with capacity and a rate.
Fleet & Equipment
Avenport is a broker: the trailers below belong to the contracted motor carriers in our network, not to us. Knowing their real dimensions is what stops a load being tendered onto equipment that cannot legally or physically carry it.
The default for palletised freight. Enclosed, sealed and dock-height, with 26 standard pallet positions on the floor.
Insulated trailer with a nose-mounted refrigeration unit. Set point, mode and pre-cool are fixed on the rate confirmation before dispatch.
Open deck for freight that loads by crane or forklift from the side. Securement is specified load by load, never left to the driver to improvise.
Interior dimensions are stated length × width × height. Scroll horizontally on a narrow screen.
| Equipment | Deck / interior | Typical payload | Pallet positions | Representative freight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 53' Dry Van | 52ʹ 6″ × 99″ × 110″ | 42,000 – 45,000 lb | 26 standard (48″ × 40″) | Palletised consumer goods, packaged food, retail replenishment |
| 48' Dry Van | 47ʹ 6″ × 99″ × 108″ | 42,000 – 44,000 lb | 24 standard | Dense or floor-loaded freight, shorter dock approaches |
| 53' Refrigerated | 50ʹ × 97″ × 102″ | 42,000 – 44,000 lb | 24 standard | Produce, protein, dairy, frozen, climate-sensitive goods |
| 48' Flatbed | 48ʹ × 102″ open deck | 46,000 – 48,000 lb | Deck-loaded | Steel, lumber, pipe, building materials, crated machinery |
| 53' Flatbed | 53ʹ × 102″ open deck | 43,000 – 45,000 lb | Deck-loaded | Long-length material, multi-stop open-deck lanes |
| Step Deck | 11ʹ upper / 37ʹ lower × 102″ | 42,000 – 45,000 lb | Deck-loaded | Freight up to 10ʹ tall without an over-height permit |
| Double Drop / RGN | 26ʹ – 29ʹ well × 102″ | 40,000 – 150,000 lb | Deck-loaded | Self-propelled and over-dimensional machinery, permit loads |
| Straight Truck / Sprinter | 10ʹ – 26ʹ box | 3,000 – 12,500 lb | 1 – 12 | Partial loads, expedited recovery, liftgate and residential |
Payload is a range because usable weight depends on the tractor, fuel load and axle configuration under the 80,000 lb federal gross combination weight limit. Freight over 13′ 6″ tall, 102″ wide or 80,000 lb gross requires state permits and, on many routes, escort vehicles — tell us the dimensions and we will quote the permitted configuration rather than the cheapest one.

Door-to-door estimates for dry freight, assuming a solo driver operating inside the federal 11-hour driving and 14-hour on-duty limits at roughly 500 practical miles a day. Appointment windows, border clearance, weather and seasonal capacity all move these numbers — a dispatcher confirms the committed window on the rate confirmation, not from this table.
Detention & accessorials
Free time, detention rate, layover, TONU and driver-assist charges are stated on the rate confirmation before dispatch. Detention is logged from the check-in time recorded at the facility, so a claim is evidenced rather than argued.
Dispatch Workflow
The same five steps run on every shipment, whether it is one spot load or a recurring contract lane. Nothing advances to the next step until the previous one is documented.
Send origin, destination, equipment, weight, commodity and pickup window. We price the lane against live market capacity and return an all-in rate with the fuel surcharge broken out.
Response target: 60 minutes
Capacity is sourced from carriers already cleared through our vetting file. Authority, safety rating and insurance are re-checked at tender, not taken on file.
Authority · Safety rating · COI
A rate confirmation fixes the rate, the equipment, the appointment windows, the securement or set point, and the accessorial schedule before the driver rolls.
Rate con issued to both parties
Dispatch confirms loaded and empty, takes check calls on a four-hour cadence, and raises an exception the moment a load is running against its appointment.
Every 4 hrs in transit
The signed bill of lading and proof of delivery come back digitally. Overages, shortages and damages are noted at delivery, and detention is billed from the recorded check-in time.
Documents returned with the invoice
Carrier Vetting & Safety
Freight fraud and double-brokering are the two fastest ways a shipper loses a load. Every carrier in the Avenport network clears the same file before a single shipment is tendered to them, and clears it again on every load.
Minimum, verified
Minimum, verified
Avenport Logistics LLC arranges freight transportation as a property broker. We contract with licensed motor carriers to move your freight; we do not operate trucks or employ drivers ourselves.
MC and USDOT numbers are looked up against FMCSA records and the authority must be active for the type of freight being tendered. Pending, revoked and out-of-service authority is rejected outright.
Carriers rated Conditional or Unsatisfactory are excluded. Satisfactory and unrated carriers are screened on their CSA BASIC percentiles, with Unsafe Driving and Hours-of-Service weighted heaviest.
The certificate is obtained from the agent of record rather than from the carrier, names Avenport Logistics LLC as certificate holder, and is re-verified before expiry. Higher limits are required where the commodity value calls for it.
Primary auto liability at the federal minimum or above, plus reefer breakdown coverage on temperature-controlled loads and trailer interchange where the lane requires it.
Our agreement is signed before the first dispatch and prohibits re-brokering or co-brokering the load without prior written consent. A load found re-brokered is grounds for immediate removal from the network.
Dispatch phone numbers, email domains and remittance details are reconciled against the FMCSA record. Recent changes to an authority address, phone or ownership are flagged and re-verified before capacity is used.
Authority status, insurance currency and safety data are re-checked at every tender and on certificate expiry. A carrier that falls out of standard stops receiving loads that day.
Food-grade, temperature-controlled and over-dimensional freight is tendered only to carriers qualified for it — sanitary transport capability, continuous-mode reefer equipment, or permitted oversize experience on the route.
Carriers: to be added to the vetting file, send your MC number, W-9, signed agreement and a certificate of insurance from your agent of record.
karenlie@avenportlogisticsnet.comAbout Avenport
Avenport Logistics LLC is a third-party logistics and freight dispatch coordination agency working out of Kissimmee, Florida. We connect commercial shippers with vetted motor carriers and stay on the load from rate confirmation through proof of delivery.
The person who quotes the lane is the person who dispatches it and the person who calls you when something changes. There is no ticket queue and no hand-off to an overnight desk that has not read the file.
The linehaul, the fuel surcharge and every accessorial are stated separately on the rate confirmation. If a charge was not on the rate con, it does not appear on the invoice.
The carrier we name on the rate confirmation is the carrier that hauls the load. Our broker–carrier agreement prohibits re-brokering without our written consent, and we enforce it.
A missed appointment, a breakdown or a temperature excursion is called through as soon as we know, with the recovery options alongside it. You hear it from us first.
A third-party logistics provider arranges transportation rather than performing it. Avenport holds the commercial relationship with the shipper, sources and contracts qualified motor carriers, issues the rate confirmation and bill of lading, coordinates the pickup and delivery appointments, tracks the load in transit, and settles the carrier. The shipper deals with one counterparty instead of a dozen; the carrier deals with one dispatcher instead of a dozen brokers.
