LSP44

Most of project44's first 100 customers were logistics service providers. With LSP44, that story comes full circle. Our Founder and CEO Jett McCandless joined Joe Lynch on The Logistics of Logistics to explain why the two companies now run as focused businesses. project44 serves Global 2000 shippers. LSP44 serves the brokers, 3PLs and forwarders who move at a faster pace. LSP44 has its own forward-deployed engineers, sales and customer success teams, all on the same platform, backed by over $1 billion in investment and 282,000 carriers worldwide. They also cover why connectivity quality is the clearest measure of supply chain maturity, how AI agents fill the gaps APIs can't reach, and why this moment will separate LSPs into winners and losers.

Excited to join Ben Wiesen at the Carrier Logistics, LLC User Conference next week. It will be a great event, showcasing AI orchestration and digital advancements in LTL. I look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.

Same documents. Same volume. Same week of freight. One of those piles cost somebody four hours to reconcile and one of them did not, and the difference has nothing to do with how much paper there was. That is the part that never makes it into a software evaluation. Every tool in your stack works. Every document in that heap is legitimate. What you are paying for is the absence of anything holding them together, and that cost does not appear on a single invoice. It appears in your people. We built a calculator so you can put a number on it. Two minutes, your own inputs. Calculate yours: https://lnkd.in/g8zeXQpX

LSP44 has been named to FreightWaves' 2027 FreightTech100. The list recognizes 100 companies for innovation across freight and supply chain technology, selected from a record field of nominations in the award's 8th year. More than half the companies on the list are new since 2026. From Jett McCandless: "Being named to the FreightTech100 as a brand-new business says more about where the market is going than it does about us. LSP44 exists because logistics service providers were being sold the same generic platforms as everyone else. This recognition means the industry sees the difference." Next, a panel of more than 80 industry executives ranks the full 100 to select the FreightTech25, announced live at the F3 Awards Dinner on October 26 in Chattanooga. https://lnkd.in/ghRmCEdh

The fireside chat at LSP44 Live: Hamburg brings together 2 people who have run logistics from very different seats. Tim Scharwath spent his career at the top of global forwarding, most recently as CEO of DHL Global Forwarding, and now invests through 2Island Invest. Eva Leckaitė Končanina Koncanina runs dedicated operations at Girteka, where the freight moves every day and the decisions are immediate. Manny Tayas, our Chief Revenue Officer, hosts. October 7 in Hamburg, on the Elbe next to the Fischmarkt. It is invite only. Around 7 seats left. Kait Peterson, IMBA has the list. Send her a DM to reserve your seat. https://lnkd.in/gnAjmhey

Two hundred and eighty-two thousand carriers, and every one of them looks equally capable until the load is already on the trailer. This is the oldest problem in brokerage. Not finding a truck. Finding which truck. And for decades the answer came down to who was available and who you happened to know, which is a system built entirely on the memory of whoever has been here longest. That knowledge is real. It is also unwritten, unevenly distributed, and it walks out of the building when somebody takes another job. We can show you performance before you tender. On-time record, digital reliability, lane coverage, fraud risk. The block stops being a block. LSP44

Hamburg has always been a city built around logistics. From the Elbe and its port to the global logistics companies that call the city home, the industry runs deep here. It’s also where many of LSP44’s first customers came from. That makes Hamburg the right place to bring the LSP44 community together. On October 7, we’re hosting LSP44 Live: Hamburg; a day of conversations with logistics leaders, a closer look at what we’re building, and time with the people who have helped shape LSP44 from the start. See you in Hamburg.

It is not hiding. It never was. Everything in that yard has a shape you recognize. Trailers, pallets, dock doors. Your eye slides over all of it without stopping, because that is what experience does, it teaches you to stop noticing what is normal. Which is exactly why the one thing that does not belong sits there for eleven hours before anyone says anything. It was never concealed. It just never raised a flag. An exception is not a crisis. It is a shape that does not match the others, and something has to be watching the shapes. Ours does. More than 80% of them resolve before your team ever sees the board. LSP44 lsp44.ai

Step back and every line looks identical. That is the whole problem with stepping back. Freight does not usually break at the level anyone is watching. It breaks one character deep. A transposed digit in a PRO. An equipment ID that does not match. A milestone that posted to the wrong shipment and now two loads are wearing the same identity. At the altitude most operations run at, none of that is visible. The dashboard is green. The load is gone. We work at the other resolution. Every identifier resolved and verified against the network, continuously, before the gap becomes a phone call. lsp44.ai

There is a version of this where the crane starts at one end and works through every box. That version is what your team does when a customer calls asking for a POD. Email thread, shared drive, carrier portal, the one that logs you out every fifteen minutes. Four minutes gone, customer still on the line, and the document was never actually lost. It just was not reachable. Searching and retrieving are different operations. One scales with the size of the pile. The other does not. Every document captured, indexed and bound to its shipment at the moment it exists. You ask. It arrives. Learn more at https://lsp44.ai/
