Who We Serve
In plain terms: we get freight moved, on record
Cox Logistics provides freight brokerage and transportation coordination from requirement through delivery — matching freight with vetted, authorized motor carriers while managing planning, shipment visibility, communication, and documentation throughout the movement.
How coordination worksGovernment agencies & contracting officers
Government freight brokerage and transportation coordination built around defined requirements, timelines, carrier qualification, documentation, and accountable status reporting.
Defense & prime contractors
Installation deliveries, deployment-adjacent freight and subcontract logistics support, coordinated by someone who has run military movement control.
Commercial shippers
Truckload, LTL, flatbed, refrigerated and time-critical freight arranged with capacity that is checked before it is dispatched.
Motor carriers
Qualified carriers with active authority and current insurance get consistent, clearly documented freight to run.
Core Capabilities
Four ways Cox Logistics moves freight
Government & Defense
Government and defense freight, coordinated on a documented process
Government transportation is judged on responsiveness, documentation and predictable execution. Requirements are validated, carrier capability is verified, movements are sequenced and tracked, and exceptions are reported as they happen — not after delivery.
- CONUS and OCONUS movement coordination experience
- Installation access and staging coordination
- Documentation prepared for government review
- Subcontract and teaming support for prime contractors

Operational Foundation
Military transportation experience built into Cox Logistics.
Cox Logistics is a government, defense and commercial freight brokerage and transportation coordination firm. Its operating approach is built on military movement-control experience, transportation consulting, carrier support, formal logistics education and military transportation leadership — applied to every movement it arranges.
“The systems, discipline, movement-control experience, and logistics expertise he used to coordinate mission-critical transportation inside the military are now being brought into Cox Logistics to serve government, defense, and commercial transportation needs.”
Jonathan A. Cox Jr. is a retired U.S. Army Staff Sergeant and Transportation Management Coordinator who supervised movement operations supporting Operation Inherent Resolve and Operation Spartan Shield. That record is the operating model Cox Logistics runs on: validate the requirement, plan the movement, vet the carrier, hold visibility and document the outcome.

Freight Cox Logistics has coordinated
Oversize, heavy haul and specialized government freight arranged with vetted, authorized motor carriers — from blocked-and-braced flatbed moves to multi-axle lowboy transport of tracked and wheeled equipment.
Operating Standards
Built for accountable freight coordination
Government and defense freight is evaluated on identifiers, credentials and documented performance. Commercial freight is judged on how a movement is handled — accurate lane detail, verified carriers and a record you can hand to anyone who asks.
Direct communication
One point of contact from award through delivery, with status updates and exceptions reported as they happen rather than after the fact.
Documented shipment visibility
Tracking, proof of delivery and closeout documentation captured for every movement, so shippers and contracting offices keep a clean record.
Movement-control planning
Lanes, timing, equipment and handling requirements planned with the movement-control discipline built inside military transportation operations.
Government and defense readiness
CONUS and OCONUS freight coordination experience, with the documentation standards federal transportation requirements are evaluated against.
Vetted authorized carriers
Freight is placed only with authorized motor carriers whose operating authority, insurance and safety profile are verified before dispatch.
Verified federal identifiers
Active UEI QCLR9MAFAW4 and CAGE 8DNL2, with SDVOSB and SBE certification on file for contracting review.
