The FLS Story: A Thirty-Six Year History of Success
Founded in 1987 by three ambitious entrepreneurs, FLS Transportation started with a simple but powerful goal: deliver freight on time, every time, with minimal hassle. Over the past three decades, this commitment to reliability has driven FLS to become a leading name in the logistics industry, specializing in cross-border and domestic freight solutions.
Growth and Expansion
What began as a small operation in Canada has grown into a powerhouse in the freight brokerage industry. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, FLS focused on expanding its domestic capabilities, quickly becoming the largest freight brokerage firm in Canada by 2001. Today, FLS operates from 17 offices with over 400 employees, leveraging a vast network of more than 54,000 carriers and 400,000 trucks to serve its clients.
