Echo Global Logistics Celebrates 20 Years of Innovation in Transportation Management

A Two-Decade Journey of Growth, Technology, and Service

Echo Global Logistics, Inc. is marking a major milestone: 20 years in the transportation and logistics industry. Since its founding in 2005, Echo has remained committed to its original mission — to simplify transportation management — while scaling rapidly to become one of North America's leading technology-enabled supply chain providers.

With a portfolio of services spanning all major transportation modes and a technology-first approach, Echo has handled over 43 million loads and supported more than 150,000 unique shippers, all while surpassing $4 billion in annual revenue.

“Echo’s status as a well-established industry leader is a testament to our cutting-edge technology and our dedicated employees,” said Doug Waggoner, CEO of Echo. “We look forward to many more years of serving our clients and carriers.”

Echo’s offerings include freight brokerage, Managed Transportation, cross-border logistics, temperature-controlled shipping, warehousing, and more. Its powerful digital infrastructure — leveraging AI, automation, online load booking, and real-time tracking — has been a key differentiator in driving scalable, efficient solutions for shippers and carriers alike.

“We’ve always been focused on solving complex supply chain problems with smart tools and a strong team,” added Dave Menzel, President and COO.

Growth and Recognition

The company has grown both organically and through 20+ acquisitions, expanding into warehousing and cold chain logistics and recently opening a Mexico City office to strengthen its cross-border services.

Echo has earned numerous accolades, including being voted the #1 3PL by Inbound Logistics for nine consecutive years, and recognition from Newsweek as one of America’s Most Trusted Companies.
