“I have worked with many freight companies in the past. I can honestly say that OL provides the best service and follow through in the industry. Carrie and the team at OL secured containers during the summer of ’21 when NO OTHER FREIGHT COMPANY could. OL has always met or exceeded my expectations. There is no other company in the industry that I can make that same statement about.”

Quality Thread & Notions

“The OL team’s attention to detail and great communication with me when shipping containers from overseas makes them stand out. My contact always goes above and beyond keeping me updated on any delays or issues with my shipments. Working with them is so easy. The team I work with—Derrick, Miho, and Susan—are very helpful, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. My company is expanding in the import business, and I have lots of questions and they are always very willing to help and respond quickly. Their communication far exceeds any of the other importers I have worked with in the past. From quoting shipping lanes to constant contact during the entire shipping process, they always go above and beyond my expectations! The amazing people that handle my company’s account, the communication the team gives me when importing my products, how much money my business has saved on imports, and the timelier delivery of my containers are what drives me to recommend them wholeheartedly.”

Alan Baer, CEO of OL USA, joins 'The Exchange' to discuss the economic impact of the Key Bridge collapse, his expectations on when the Baltimore port would resume operation, and more.
