RK Logistics Group announced Thursday that it has expanded its service lineup with the opening of a freight brokerage operation with Mode Transportation.
Operating under the name RKG Mode LLC, the new division complements the company’s service portfolio with capabilities for local, regional and nationwide truckload less-than-truckload, intermodal, ocean, parcel and integrated transportation management services, RK Logistics said in the announcement.
RKG Mode will operate as an independent agent of Mode Transportation, which provides a technology platform and access to domestic and global transportation capacity.
“Companies want reliable, cost-effective transportation capacity to meet the demands of today’s high-velocity supply chains,” said Rock Magnan, president of RK Logistics Group. “With the launch of RKG Mode LLC, we’ve significantly expanded our footprint of flexible, high-value logistics and transportation management capabilities.”
Magnan emphasized the strategic importance of the RKG Mode launch for RK’s customers in today’s market in which truck capacity is extremely tight and securing trucks for customer loads is an ongoing challenge.
“By joining the Mode Transportation network, we gain immediate access to reliable, quality capacity, industry-leading technology, economies of scale and the buying power of a large network,” Magnan said. “We’re bringing a more complete package to the table, offering our customers a broader array of cost-effective, integrated logistics, warehousing and transportation solutions, whether local, regional or national.”
Headquartered in Summerlin, Nevada, RKG Mode will assume management of RK Logistics’ existing truckload transportation operations.
