Our History

Founded in 2006 as LoadMatch Logistics, Inc., we began with a focused mission: to help exporters find compatible empty import containers for their shipments. Early on, we served exporters of high-volume commodities like forest products, wastepaper, scrap metal, plastics, textile waste, and agricultural goods.

As exports grew, we expanded into import services by 2008, quickly gaining traction with importers who recognized our value. To improve efficiency and communication, we developed ARCtrac, our proprietary logistics management platform.

To better control quality, cost, and capacity, we launched LML Express, Inc., followed by 123 Express, Inc. in 2012, and Veterans Express, Inc. in 2013—creating new opportunities for U.S. military veterans.

On January 1, 2016, we rebranded as A.R.C. Transit to reflect our evolution into a full-service transportation solutions provider. The name stands for Accurate, Responsive, and Capable—a standard we uphold every day.

In 2020, A.R.C. Transit was acquired by The Evans Network of Companies, the largest drayage provider in the United States. This strategic move connected us with a powerful network offering asset-based, multimodal s olutions across truckload, open deck,
LTL and more.
