What we do
Project logistics leads. Forwarding and domestic freight follow.
Every scope LGX takes on falls into one of three service lines. Project & heavy-haul logistics is the one we are built around: the lift, the permits, the route, and the site, run by one team. International forwarding carries project cargo across borders on the same discipline. Domestic freight moves day-to-day loads without a project intake. When equipment flows through our warehousing month after month, that is a fourth thing, a managed 4PL program, and it has its own page.
Three lines, in this order
- 01Project & Heavy-Haul LogisticsThe core: one lift plan, one route, one site, one date to hit.
- 02International Freight ForwardingThe ocean and air legs of the same moves, and cross-border cargo on its own.
- 03Domestic FreightDay-to-day loads with a pickup date and no project around them.
- +4PL & Managed LogisticsNot a motion: a standing program that wraps around the first one.
01 · The core
Project & Heavy-Haul Logistics
The lift plan, the permits, the route, and the trucks, converging on one date under one project lead.
A large move is a sequence, not a shipment: the lift is engineered before anything is booked, permits and the route survey run in parallel, and the trucks are sequenced so each piece lands when the site is ready for it. LGX runs that sequence end to end and keeps coordinators on the ground until the last piece is placed and the scope is closed. The laydown yard and the 50-ton crane in Humble are ours; the trailers and cranes are matched to each piece, not pulled from a fixed fleet.
- End-to-end orchestration: crane, lift plan, permits, route, sequenced trucks, on-site execution
- One project lead, one accountable team, one outcome
- Heavy haul, OOG, breakbulk, permit loads, and the owned yard + crane behind them
The standing program
4PL & Managed Logistics
When it’s not one move but a continuous flow, LGX runs the whole function.
$700M+
of customer-owned equipment in LGX-managed programs
Some customers hand LGX the whole flow rather than one move: equipment arriving on inbound trucks, checked in, held in our warehousing, and released to sites as they come ready. That is a standing program with one manager, one system of record, and one report, and it is the model behind the figure beside it.
- Inbound freight, receiving, warehousing, inventory, releases, and delivery under one manager
- Customer-owned equipment on LGX ground: laydown yard, warehousing, 50-ton in-yard crane
- One live view of what has been received, what is on hand, and what has shipped, with the cost beside it
02 · Across borders
International Freight Forwarding
Ocean and air legs planned into the project, on lanes we run and lanes we build.
Most of the project cargo we move starts in another country, so forwarding is planned as one leg of the move rather than a separate booking. Full-container ocean freight carries the bulk of it; air is reserved for pieces the schedule cannot wait for. Capacity comes from LGX operations on the lanes we run often and from vetted partners elsewhere, and the customs entry is filed by a partner broker that LGX coordinates.
- Import, export, and cross-border; ocean FCL primary, air secondary
- In-house plus partner capacity, sized to the shipment or project
- Customs entry handled by partner customs broker; LGX coordinates the handoff
03 · The cash engine
Domestic Freight
Flatbed, step deck, hotshot, and standalone heavy-haul loads, quoted without a project intake.
Not every load is a project. A steel bundle on a flatbed, a machine on an RGN, a hotshot run that has to leave today: these move on a direct path with no intake form, and recurring lanes can be set up as standing arrangements. Send the origin, destination, dimensions, and pickup date, or call, and we come back with capacity and a rate.
Side by side
Which line your scope belongs to.
Send it to any of the three and it reaches the right desk. This is how we sort it on intake.
| 01Project & Heavy-Haul | 02Forwarding | 03Domestic Freight | |
|---|---|---|---|
| You have | A piece that has to be lifted, permitted, routed, and set on a date, often several pieces and several trucks. | Cargo crossing a border, as one leg of a project or as a shipment on its own. | A load with a pickup date and no project around it. |
| We own | Lift engineering, permits, the surveyed route, truck sequencing, the crew on site, and the close-out. | Mode, container or vessel, sailing, routing, the document set, and the customs handoff to a partner broker. | The right trailer, the carrier, the rate, and the pickup. |
| It starts with | Drawings, weights, the site, and the set date. | Origin, destination, Incoterms, and the milestone. | Origin, destination, dimensions, weight, pickup date. |

A standing flow of equipment through our warehousing is a fourth arrangement, the managed program, with its own page.
