Services
LTLplus™ means we offer more than just Less Than Truckload. It means more reliable transit times and a single point of contact who operates as an extension of your business.
Vortex continues to amaze us with their commitment to service. When I had a delicate and time-sensitive shipment, they changed its shipping from LTL to FTL to guarantee its safety, even though it didn’t fill a truck. They put the safety of my shipment above the size of their profits. They care about my business like it was their own.

Serving your needs
We may specialize in LTL, but our real specialty is picking up and delivering your shipment when you need it. We offer a range of services to suit your range of needs.
Less than truckload (LTL)
More than just less-than-truckload.
Only pay for the space you use when your shipment won't fill a truck. And with high network density, your shipments will leave our terminals nightly to ensure they get there on-time, every time.
You can trust that your freight will travel safely with our proprietary 2Touch Shipping™ network engineered to aim for no more than 2 touches per shipment, and Vortex Protect™, our proprietary use of load bars, dunnage, decked and no over-stuffed trailers.
Full truckload (FTL)
Large loads made easy.
Large shipments are never too big for us. Through our Full Truckload service, we ensure the trailer is sealed from start to finish and you always know the exact location.
Expedites
Let us make expedite stress-free.
When you have urgent freight, our Expedite service will pick up your shipment same-day with one call. Our Team-service moves your material door to door, updating you the entire time.
If your needs change mid-transit, we have the flexibility to locate your Vortex shipment immediately and quickly transfer it to our Expedited service.
Partials
Partial shipments. Fully delivered.
For shipments that are too large for LTL, but too small for affordable FTL, our Partials service is exactly what you need. Your freight will be nose-loaded into our trailer and then will move like a full load to its destination.
Because our Partials are treated like full loads, your shipment is never trans-loaded at a terminal, making sure that your freight is delivered damage-free.
Warehouse storage services
Clean and secure
Northbound
Daily departures.
With 5 warehouses along the US/Mexico border and bilingual support teams in Monterrey, NL and Queretaro, QA, we offer full coverage across Mexico for northbound linehauls.
Daily departures from our terminals mean daily deliveries to your warehouse.
Working harder for you
Whether it's a dedicated single point of contact or industry-leading technology, delivering excellent service is as important as delivering your freight.
Single-point of contact
Every Vortex client has direct access to their own CSR, not a call center. They know your shipments, they know your business, and they are supported by a dedicated control tower team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Daily reporting
With daily, automated reporting, direct to your inbox, you're always on top of the status of your shipments. No surprises, just the confidence that your shipment will arrive when it's supposed to, damage free.
Vortex Protect™
The safety of your shipment is our top priority. Our proprietary process secures your shipment with load bars, dunnage, decked trailers and more.
Track 'n Trace technology
When you need to know more than what's in your daily report, or you'd prefer to use our technology to locate your shipment, you can do that with the click of a button.
