In today’s uncertain shipping environment, you’re more worried about the reliability and cost of moving cargo than ever before. And everywhere you look, there are more vendors on the market.
But successfully organizing logistics isn’t (only) about what you know. It’s about who you know. That’s why we’ve built a global network of 500+ agents and relationships with dozens of shipping partners over the last 3 decades.
Because only an experienced partner has resources on hand to help you negotiate affordable rates, navigate compliance requirements, and avoid unnecessary delays. At OL, we manage all this and more—so you never have to fret about your freight.

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.
