About Daylight Transport
Daylight Transport is a transportation and logistics services company based out of Long Beach, California, in the United States of America. It is dedicated to offering modern, world-class freight delivery services. In fact, the company was founded on the value of creating a lifetime of fast and efficient customer service.
Daylight was first founded as an air freight company in 1977. It began expanding its network on the ground. It was one of the first companies to start the practice of direct loading as well as to adopt two-driver teams. The company is reaping the benefits now over four decades later, having seen exponential growth and bringing down cross-country transit times significantly.
It offers nationwide LTL transportation services, regardless of weather or season. It promises deliveries at guaranteed times, along with full-service warehousing and logistics in the California market. Furthermore, Daylight ensures volume and truckload shipping on top of air freight as well.
The company itself is a very experienced and reliable freight carrier that provides services to both commercial and residential clients throughout California. The team’s commitment to quality and timely service has enabled them to become a top 100 motor carrier and one of Los Angeles Business Journal's 100 largest privately held companies.
Unlike many other logistics companies, Daylight loads shipments directly to the destination instead of following the traditional hub-and-spoke model. This increases efficiency while saving on costs and time significantly.
With the company’s LTL trucking facilities, shipments can be sent from coast to coast across the continental United States. Long haul LTL shipments are processed at almost the same rates as standard shipments, except with drastically faster speeds.
This incredible and rich functionality offered by Daylight Transport can be further modified to suit the needs of your business through the use of other third-party platforms. Logistics intelligence platforms, such as ClickPost can automate a wide variety of processes, enabling the integration of couriers and consolidation of shipments through the use of API methods.
