Asset-based expedited freight for defense prime contractors and government programs. We combine company-owned assets with a fully vetted carrier network to deliver reliability when program windows are tightest.
Owned-asset expedited freight combined with a fully vetted brokerage network — for commercial airlines, independent MROs, and aviation parts distributors. An AOG event costs up to $150K/hour. We exist to shorten that window.

Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Taylor, Michigan, Load One combines company-owned assets with a thoroughly vetted brokerage network to deliver the coverage, speed, and accountability that time-critical freight demands.
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.
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 to serve defense — not just willing to.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ground, air, specialized, and cross-border — across aviation MRO and defense logistics.
