About

Outrider Cargo is a Minnesota-based freight brokerage focused on general steel. We primarily move these materials using Flatbed trailers, with an emphasis on reliable capacity and clear communication.

We work with suppliers who need consistent truck availability and want to reduce last-minute issues. Our goal is to match the right driver and equipment to each load while keeping everyone informed throughout the process.

I started Outrider Cargo after spending years around trucking and freight operations. That hands-on experience showed me what good service looks like, and what frustrates shippers and carriers the most. I built this company to do things differently: clear rates, honest load details, and a focus on getting the job done right.

We’re currently focused on the Upper Midwest and building responsibly as we grow. We’re putting strong systems in place from day one so we can deliver real value to both shippers and carriers.

No smoke and mirrors. Just reliable freight movement.
