What You'll Do

ArcBest® is a multibillion-dollar integrated logistics company that leverages our technology and full suite of shipping and logistics solutions to meet our customers’ supply chain needs. In 2021, ArcBest acquired MoLo Solutions, one of the fastest-growing truckload brokerages in North America. MoLo is known industry-wide for excellent customer service and trusted carrier relationships. These deep, trusted carrier relationships added committed capacity, high-volume freight programs, drop and hook capabilities and more consistent performance to ArcBest’s already robust truckload network. ArcBest’s large customer base also gave these carriers access to more consistent freight to keep their trucks moving — a win-win situation. Discover something different.
