1876 Logistics, LLC
Welcome to 1876 Logistics LLC—your trusted freight partner, headquartered in Tyler, Texas.
Founded by Todd Swink, we’re a small company delivering big benefits since 1997: unmatched personalized service, time‑critical reliability, proactive communication, flexible capacity solutions, and cost‑effective rates that protect your bottom line.
We focus on clarity at every stage — accurate pickup and delivery windows, proactive updates, and direct accountability when conditions change. That approach allows us to prevent issues before they escalate and resolve exceptions quickly when they arise.
Our customers rely on us not because we promise perfection, but because we consistently deliver what matters most: reliability, transparency, and follow‑through. We serve shippers across Texas, coast to coast, including Canada and Mexico. Along with the State of Texas, 1876 Logistics also serves:
industrial companies,
medical device manufacturers,
and food & beverage operations
that can’t afford delays or guesswork.
From the first call to final delivery, expectations are clear, communication is ongoing, and commitments are met. We partner with you and take the headache out of shipping, helping you avoid costly disruptions so you can stay focused on running your business.
Dates & Times Always Matter
At 1876 Logistics, customers are supported by small, dedicated service teams responsible for their freight from load creation through final delivery. These teams remain closely connected to the movement of each shipment and communicate directly with customers as the load progresses.
Because the same team manages the freight from start to finish, they develop familiarity with the customer’s business, shipping patterns, and operational expectations. That continuity allows shipments to be coordinated more efficiently and ensures communication remains consistent throughout the process.
In an industry where loads often move through multiple desks and departments, our structure keeps accountability clear and responsibility defined. Customers always know who is managing their freight and who to contact when questions arise. and times are the backbone of freight and logistics because every mile, every dock door, and every driver hour is scheduled against the clock.
Flatbed Brokerage Built for the Real Work
We specialize in matching your flatbed requirements with carriers who have the right tools—step decks, removable goosenecks, stretch trailers, tarps, chains, and binders—and the know-how to handle them safely. From permitting and escort coordination to tarping compliance and overweight routing, we manage the complexities so your freight arrives secure, on time, and without claims.
What sets 1876 Logistics apart:
Equipment expertise – We source carriers with your exact specs (conestoga, curtainside, lowboys, RGNs) and verify trailer condition before dispatch.
Securement focus – Our team confirms proper tie-downs, edge protectors, and tarp protocols to minimize shifting, weather damage, and DOT stops.
Overweight & oversize coordination – We handle permitting, pilot car requirements, and route planning across states, saving you time and compliance headaches.
Weather-smart execution – Proactive tarp checks and routing adjustments keep your freight protected, even when conditions change en route.
Flat Beds
Refrigerated
At 1876 Logistics LLC, refrigerated (reefer) freight isn’t just another mode — it’s a commitment to product integrity from pickup to delivery. We match temperature-sensitive shipments with vetted carriers who understand food safety standards, strict set points, and disciplined in-transit monitoring.
Our team is trained to manage the details that matter in reefer, including set points, trailer washouts, seals, pulp temps, and appointment compliance—so you don’t have to micromanage every shipment.
