About Radiant Logistics, Inc.
About Radiant Logistics, Inc.
Radiant Logistics operates more than 100 locations across the U.S. and Canada, roughly 30 of them company-owned and the remainder run by independent strategic operating partners under the Radiant, Airgroup, Adcom, DBA, Service by Air, and Navegate brands. Strategic operating partners generated approximately 42% of the company's consolidated adjusted gross profit in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, down from 50% in fiscal 2024, following 33 acquisitions completed since Radiant's first, Airgroup, in January 2006.
As a non-asset-based logistics provider, Radiant owns minimal transportation equipment, instead arranging shipments through a network of motor carriers, railroads, airlines, and ocean lines and earning gross margin on the spread between what it charges customers and what it pays carriers. Freight forwarding and freight brokerage - covering truckload, less-than-truckload, and intermodal service - are managed centrally through service centers in Chicago, Illinois and Toronto, Ontario, complemented by materials management and distribution, customs house brokerage, and global trade management offerings. Strategic operating partners handle their own sales and operating costs while relying on Radiant for operating authority, technology, working-capital access, and collective purchasing power, under agreements ranging from fixed-term to evergreen or month-to-month arrangements terminable by the partner on notice. The company competes against integrated small-parcel carriers such as FedEx, DHL, and UPS on larger shipments, and continues migrating its legacy operating and accounting systems onto a common SAP-based platform.
Show full overview
Radiant's model depends entirely on outside carriers rather than owned assets: the company contracts with thousands of trucking, rail, ocean, and air providers and holds no equipment of its own, so carrier capacity shortages, bankruptcies, or price increases pass through directly to its margins. That third-party reliance extends to information systems - Radiant disclosed a ransomware incident in December 2021 and a separate cybersecurity incident affecting its Canadian operations in March 2024, both of which caused modest revenue loss and incremental costs before systems were restored to full functionality.
