COMPANY // EST. 1994
Built on boring reliability.
No moonshots. No "disruption". Just thirty years of cargo arriving when we said it would.
The short version
One truck. Then 214.
Manifest started in 1994 with a single second-hand tractor unit and a promise painted on the door: "On time, or we call first." The truck is retired. The promise isn't.
Today 640 people move 118,000+ TEU a year across nine owned hubs — still privately held, still answering the phone at 03:00, still calling first on the rare day something slips.
Operating principles
The rules on the wall.
Call first
If an ETA moves, the client hears it from us before their tracking page shows it.
Quote = invoice
Zero invoice disputes is a KPI here. Surcharges are priced in, never bolted on.
No cargo sleeps
Anything that lands at a Manifest hub is cross-docked or racked within 4 hours.
