How we place 3PLs in Minnesota

We profile your volume, SKU mix, and service level requirements first. Then we match against a vetted shortlist of warehouses in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Duluth and the surrounding Minnesota freight markets — operators we've worked with directly, not a referral directory.

For volumes that touch Port of Duluth-Superior or move on I-35, location strategy matters as much as warehouse selection. We model the freight implications before signing anyone to a contract.

What you get

Curated shortlist

Three to five vetted Minnesota 3PL options matched to your freight profile — not a directory dump.

Site visits & RFP

We run the RFP, accompany site visits, and pressure-test capability claims with operational questions, not sales questions.

Contract & onboarding

Rate negotiation, SLA definition, WMS integration oversight, and go-live management.

90-day performance review

KPIs trended weekly with a formal review at 90 days. Course-correct early, not at year-end.
