After spending years at a mega-3PL, Stephen Scates wanted to start a practice that was more efficient, ethical, and cut out the politics that get in the way of the best possible customer experience.


Having spent two years as an in-house Logistics Director for a Produce Brokerage, Stephen had the opportunity to open an office through Online Freight Services. So, in March of 2018, he created Tradd Advisory Company.

Now, our team can leverage the power of a giant freight company, and tailor it to a personal relationship of a small business. We have an edge in many types of transportation and are constantly gaining new relationships and deepening the established ones with our existing client and carrier bases. 

Tradd is an Independent Agency of Online Freight Services, which is wholly owned by Echo Global Logistics.

This means we have jurisdiction to manage your logistics without compromising service for meeting quota, but also have the artillery of a Billion Dollar Company for insurance, buying power, and tech.
