Defense & Government

Why Load One for Defense.

Defense programs and government logistics teams need freight partners with the right authorizations, documented compliance, and the operational depth to perform when program windows are non-negotiable.

01

Government Authorized & Certified.

CAGE Code 5GN07 — registered and active in SAM.gov. C-TPAT certified through DHS/CBP. TSA certified. HAZMAT authorized for applicable cargo classes. BPA-eligible for DLA Aviation expedited freight programs. We are credentialed, willing, and proud to assist our nation's defense capability.

02

Asset Depth + Vetted Network.

Load One's 500+ asset base — company-owned trucks and Exclusive Use ICs — provides the core capacity for time-critical program moves. When broader coverage is needed, we extend through a thoroughly vetted carrier network, ensuring compliance and accountability across every tier of the solution.

03

Full Chain of Custody.

24/7/365 live dispatch. AI route optimization. Real-time GPS on every asset. TMS integration. EDI managed in-house. Automated proof of delivery and chain of custody documentation built for program traceability requirements — on every single move.

Aviation MRO & AOG

Why Load One for Aviation.

AOG events cost airlines up to $150,000 per hour. MROs race TAT commitments. Parts distributors measure every minute in transit. Load One is purpose-built for these moments — with the asset depth and vetted network coverage to deliver.

01

Asset Depth + Vetted Network.

500+ assets — company-owned trucks and Exclusive Use ICs — anchor our AOG response capability. When the situation demands broader or more specialized coverage, we extend through a carefully vetted carrier network. The right solution, the right way, every time.

02

Ground + Air, Coordinated.

When ground expedite won't meet the AOG window, we coordinate air charter through our established air carrier relationships — charter, next-flight-out, same-day, international. One call. One point of accountability. We manage ground logistics on both ends of every air move.

03

Real-Time Visibility & Documentation.

Real-time GPS on all assets. TMS integration available. EDI managed in-house. Automated proof of delivery and chain of custody on every shipment. You always know where your part is — and you have the documentation to close out the AOG event.
