OUR HISTORY
1985
Mike and Chris met at university as business majors. To earn money, they delivered pizzas and tended bar. They both graduated with a BS in Business Economics and would go their separate ways and professional careers. Both met their wives who also graduated from the same university. Both couples are still married since 1992!
1995
Mike and Chris took a position with the same 3PL. After a short time, they could see the industry was rapidly evolving with emerging technologies, YET their current employer was not evolving. So, Mike and Chris drew up plans to start their own brokerage.
1997
Raised enough capital to launch SLC Nationwide, a Federally licensed, bonded and insured, Freight Transportation & Logistics Management company. From scratch (Literally using pen and paper) they began building a client base who appreciated the improved services and support – many are still clients to this day! They continued investing in technology as it became paramount, adding computers, designing proprietary software and focusing on the “Client First” philosophy that endures to this day. From these modest self-taught beginnings, grew a successful and competitive business.
2014
Forged a Certified Partnership with Bluegrace Logistics for LTL services.
2017
Acquired Beemak Transportation, an asset-based trucking & warehouse. Gratefully hired and retained all five of their employees, dispatchers, and salespeople, all still with SLC to this day.
2021
Acquired Network Freight Lines, an asset-based trucking company. Gratefully hire their key manager, still a key manager to this day.
2023
SLC Nationwide re-branded to SHIP SLC – a Smart Logistics Consortium. Formalized a strategic partnership with world-class, award-winning international forwarder and asset-based warehousing company with over 1,000 employees and offices in 45 countries. SHIP SLC now provides complete, end-to-end global solutions and friction-free cost savings and the ability to reach new markets.
