Armstrong Transport Group is proud to be recognized as a US Best Managed Company for the fifth consecutive year, a distinction that belongs first and foremost to the people who make this company what it is every single day.

This kind of recognition does not happen five years in a row without a team that is deeply committed to doing things the right way, a culture worth investing in, and growth that is 100% organic because of the effort behind it. Being named once is an accomplishment. Five years in a row speaks for itself.

The program evaluates companies across four key criteria: strategy, ex*****on, culture, governance, and financials. Earning that recognition across all four, five consecutive years is something we do not take lightly and are incredibly proud of.

This milestone also comes on the heels of being ranked a Top 15 Freight Brokerage by Transport Topics, and both recognitions point to the same thing. Consistent performance, operational excellence, and a team that shows up.

Thank you to everyone at Armstrong who makes this possible year after year, and to Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal for this prestigious program!

In logistics, we talk a lot about the people who keep everything moving behind the scenes. The ones who anticipate problems before they happen, juggle a hundred things at once, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks without needing recognition for any of it.

Moms have been doing that longer than any of us, and without a manual or nearly enough credit.

Today, we want to take a moment to celebrate every mom out there, in our network, in our industry, and everywhere in between. What you do every single day matters more than words can cover. Happy Mother's Day from our entire team. 🌸

CVSA International Roadcheck is one week out, and if you have freight moving May 12 through 14, now is the time to get ahead of it.

Every spring, enforcement personnel across North America spend 72 hours conducting full inspections on commercial motor vehicles and drivers. This year, inspectors are zeroing in on ELD tampering and cargo securement, two areas that produced some of the highest violation counts in 2025. Any driver or vehicle found with out-of-service violations gets pulled from the road until everything is corrected, and many drivers choose to sit the week out entirely rather than deal with the risk.

The result is the same every year. Capacity tightens. Rates climb. And shippers who did not plan for it end up paying for it.

You have a week to get ahead of this. Ship before May 12 if your timeline allows. If it does not, start communicating now with your carriers and receivers, build in extra transit time, and set realistic rate expectations. Last-minute freight during Blitz Week is possible, but it comes at a cost.

And if you need a partner to help you navigate it, reach out to our team today. Our team is ready. Reach out today: https://hubs.ly/Q04f9WDd0

May looks busy on the surface. Under the hood, it is even more complicated. Produce season is reshaping capacity across the South. Construction demand is squeezing open-deck lanes in the north. Frost laws are lifting, but OD rates are not coming down with them. And before the month is even halfway over, CVSA Roadcheck and Memorial Day weekend will each take their own toll on the market.

Our May Freight Forecast has everything you need to navigate it. Swipe through, get informed, and if you have freight to move this month, now is the time to lock in a partner who knows what they are doing: https://hubs.ly/Q04f9SpF0

Not all freight is created equal. May produce the least of all! 🍓🍍

Strawberries are at peak season right now, and their harvest window is short. Artichokes are hitting their most tender state before summer heat closes the season. Both are fragile, time-sensitive, and unforgiving when logistics fall short.

Temperature variance, handling missteps, and delayed transit times do not just affect quality. They affect your bottom line. We know what it takes to move produce right, and we bring that to every refrigerated load we haul.

Your product is too valuable to trust to just anyone. Reach out today and let's make sure your May shipments are in the right hands: https://hubs.ly/Q04dzXdv0

We're thrilled to announce Armstrong Transport Group has been named #13 on the Transport Topics Top Freight Brokerages list! But while numbers tell you where you landed, the story behind them tells you why it matters.

This has been steady, organic growth built over time, without shortcuts or rollups. And importantly, growth that hasn’t created saturation or unnecessary complexity for the people building their business here.

We’ve grown by staying focused on what actually drives success:
• Disciplined decisions with a clear view of risk vs. reward
• Long-term relationships, not transactional volume
• Investment in the people and support systems behind the freight

Because done right, growth should expand opportunity, not limit it.

That only works because of the people behind it - our agents, employees, carriers, and customers. Twenty years in, that’s still how we operate, and we’re still building!

Building a book of business is hard. Finding a brokerage that recognizes what it took to get there is even harder. We built our agent network around that belief. Agents earn up to 75% commission, with back-office support that helps take the operational weight off your plate so you can stay focused on growing your freight.

We love bringing our network together at new locations to educate, connect, and celebrate. ATG Connect 2026 took over Austin, Texas, this past March. Our conference sessions gave agents real tools and insights to take back to their business, and the rest of the weekend took care of everything else. Bull riding, pool days, karaoke nights, incredible meals, and the kind of connections that only happen when you are all in the same room together.

And when you grow, we make sure you feel it beyond the conference too. Our Diamond Elite program is for agents who hit $600,000 in gross margin over 12 months. It is our way of recognizing exceptional performance with real acknowledgment and an exclusive award trip every year. Our Extra Mile program rewards qualifying agents who grow year over year with a monthly bonus and a Gift-A-Trip each year. Because hitting your goals should come with more than just a pat on the back.

This is the brokerage that works as hard as you do.

Partner with a brokerage that values your hard work with exclusive programs and meaningful rewards. Contact us today to learn more about joining our agent network: https://hubs.ly/Q04cTnc-0

Every day, freight crosses the US-Mexico border. And every day, companies find out the hard way that the right logistics partner makes all the difference.

The paperwork alone is enough to slow you down. Add in carrier restrictions, customs requirements, security concerns, and the cultural and language nuances that affect how business gets done on both sides, and you start to understand why so many cross-border shipments fall apart before they ever arrive.

This lane requires a different approach and a team that actually knows it. That means CTPAT-certified carriers, when required, secure storage facilities on both sides of the border, bilingual support that bridges more than just language, and cargo insurance coverage up to $500,000 for your cross-border moves.

Construction season is here and that means work zones are back in full force across the country.

Next week, April 20 through 24, is National Work Zone Awareness Week. This year's theme is Safe Actions Save Lives, and for those of us in freight and logistics it is a message that carries real weight. Our drivers log thousands of miles on these roads every week, and work zones are among the most dangerous stretches they will encounter.

The numbers back that up:
• Most work zone crashes happen during daylight hours
• The leading causes are speeding, distracted driving, and failure to yield
• These are not freak accidents. They are preventable.

As we head into the heart of construction season, we want to encourage everyone in our network to slow down, stay alert, and treat every work zone with the attention it deserves.

Safe actions save lives. On the road and everywhere else.

Bull riding 🐂 Taco tasting 🌮 Cargo theft panels 🚚 Yeah, we do it all.

ATG Connect 2026 is a wrap, and over a week later, we are still feeling the energy from Austin. We brought our agent network together for what turned out to be one of our best conferences yet.

The goal is always the same: give the people who power this brokerage the tools, knowledge, and connections they need to keep growing. This year we did that and then some.

From market updates and conversations around AI built for logistics, to sessions on growing your business through strategic hiring and exploring new modes, ATG Connect 2026 was packed with the kind of content that actually moves the needle.

Serious conversations about where this industry is heading, real collaboration between some of the sharpest minds in freight, and the kind of moments that remind you why building a strong network matters.

We are already looking forward to the next one.

A huge thank you to our sponsors who brought incredible value to this year's event: Loadsure, Augment, Highway, Valoroo, Tive, ExFreight, Reliance Partners, and Bitfreighter. Your partnership made ATG Connect 2026 something special.

More photos are on the way, but for now, check out the recap below for some of the most iconic moments!
