Industry: Logistics and freight
Reach the people who run freight
Brokers, 3PLs and carriers run on thin margins and long days. Reach Crew finds the operators whose company is growing right now and writes each a short note that respects their time.
1,000 free credits that never expire. No card.
Who you would reach
Who signs in logistics and freight. And why each is worth a note.
Freight companies are flat, and the person who signs is close to the work. These three titles cover most buying decisions.
VP or Director of Operations at a 3PL
Owns the warehouses, the yard and the service levels customers are promised. A new site shows them every gap in the process.
Head of Brokerage or Carrier Sales
Runs the desk that matches loads to trucks. Ten minutes saved per load shows in their numbers within a week.
Director of Fleet or Safety at a carrier
Owns the trucks, the drivers and the inspection record. A cleaner record means lower insurance, a number the owner reads monthly.
What Scout reads
The signals that say now. Each one public, each one shown.
Every person comes with the reason they fit and the page behind it. A goal can ask for a signal, and a fresh one adds to the fit score even when it does not. Meet Scout.
- HiringHiring dispatchers and carrier repsOpen roles for dispatchers or carrier sales reps mean volume is rising faster than the team, which is when a new tool gets a hearing.
- Company newsA new terminal or warehouseA new cross-dock, a lease signed or a lane added. New sites need new processes, and the operations lead is writing them now.
- Headcount growthHeadcount up 20 percent or moreA firm whose staff grew by a fifth in a year is adding customers. It counts in the fit score even when your goal does not ask.
- Left outSoftware vendors left outYour goal can leave out firms that sell to freight companies, such as fleet software makers, so the list holds operators only.
An example goal
One sentence in. Three people out, with reasons.
Reach 40 operations leaders at US freight brokers and 3PLs with 200 to 2,000 employees in the Midwest by March.
Verified means 2 sources confirm the work email. Every person and firm here is fictional.

Short, personal, and waiting for your approval.
Short and specific: one piece of news, one problem it creates, one small ask that fits around a shift.

- From your own Gmail or Google Workspace
- Waits for you. Change any word first.
VP of Operations, Lakeshore Freight Partners
Hi Kevin,
Congratulations on the Joliet cross-dock. A second site usually means a second set of dock schedules that nobody can see from the first.
Dockline puts both docks on one screen, so carriers book their own slots and your team sees the day before it starts.
Would a 20 minute look before the site opens be useful? It can fit around your shifts.
Best,
Jordan Ellis
Writing to logistics and freight. Four things that work.
Write before the day starts
A 9:30 am send in their time zone lands after the morning rush and before lunch calls.
Lead with their lane, not your product
Name the city, site or lane from their news. Freight people trust specifics.
Keep the ask small
A 20 minute look or a one page sample beats a demo request. Their day is booked in 15 minute slots around trucks.
Go regional first
Start with one region, such as the Midwest or Texas. Freight is local, and a note that knows the region reads as written by an insider.
Questions, answered.
For anything else, write to hi@reachcrew.app or read all questions.
Can Reach Crew tell a freight broker from a carrier?
Yes. Your goal names the kind of company, such as brokers, 3PLs or carriers, and every person found shows their company and the reason they fit.
Will it find people at small carriers with no website?
It works from public sources, so a carrier with no website or public profiles may not show up. Reach Crew never guesses an email it cannot check.
How many freight leaders can I reach on the free plan?
The free Explore plan has 1,000 credits that never expire. Finding a person is 10 credits, checking the email 6, writing the draft 10 and each send 1, so about 34 people from start to finish.
Does anything send without my approval?
No. Nothing sends until you approve, one by one or all at once. Each goes from your own Gmail at 9:30 am on a weekday, their time.
