175+ years in business
Founded in 1850 — six and seventh generations of family ownership. We've adapted through every major shift in logistics history and we're still excited to wake up and move freight every day.

Full-service 3PL
Warehousing, fulfillment, freight brokerage, asset trucking, managed services, reverse logistics, and consulting — all under one roof. No vendor handoffs, one accountable team.
175 years of operational scale.
What's behind the family story — the network, the carriers, and the technology that runs every day.
Where most 3PL conversations get vague — we get specific.
Anyone can promise good service. Here's the operating substance behind the Taylor partnership — the conversations we have, the decisions we make, and the things we never let surprise you.
Transparent pricing conversations
We walk through how receiving, storage, fulfillment, freight, and accessorials work together operationally — not just line by line on a rate sheet. You see the math, you see the trade-offs.
Flexible receiving models
Not every inbound shipment looks the same. Palletized freight, floor-loaded containers, unit-level receiving, retail prep, and compliance requirements all impact labor and flow differently — and we structure receiving around what you actually ship.
Freight optimization
Carrier selection, DIM-weight strategy, routing-guide compliance, customer shipping accounts, and transportation visibility can significantly impact landed costs. We treat freight as a real lever, not a pass-through.
Visibility and reporting
Customers need real-time access to inventory, reporting, order status, and operational metrics to make informed decisions as they scale. Our customer portal and TMS dashboards put that data at your fingertips.
Scalability
Processes that work at 500 orders a month often break at 10,000. Infrastructure, labor planning, automation, and systems matter — and we design programs that scale before the volume hits.
Retail and compliance experience
Vendor compliance, labeling requirements, pallet specs, routing guides, retailer prep, and OTIF expectations all require operational discipline. We've ridden out enough vendor scorecards to know what good looks like.
Clear communication
Monthly minimums, account-management structure, escalation language, implementation expectations, and long-term planning should never be a surprise. Everything is written down, reviewed together, and tracked.
Built to adapt — by design.
Taylor has never been married to a single mode. Each generation rebuilt the business around what partners actually needed next — and that's still how we operate today.
Founded in Cincinnati
Taylor Drayage Company — a horse-and-carriage hauling paper between Ohio River steamships and a downtown book factory.
Canals to motor trucks
Adapted as the canals declined. Moved closer to the railroads and rebranded as Taylor Trucking Company.
Warehousing era
Expanded from drayage into public and contract warehousing — laying the foundation for our food-grade 3PL operations today.
Temperature-controlled warehousing
Added refrigerated and frozen storage capabilities — bringing food-grade, cold-chain expertise into the Taylor network.
Contract warehousing
Launched dedicated contract warehousing — building customer-specific facilities, programs, and teams alongside our public warehouse network.
Tech-enabled 3PL
Built out brokerage, fulfillment, managed services, and a modern technology stack: WMS, TMS, visibility, carrier vetting.
6th + 7th gen
Drew, Grant, and Noelle Taylor lead the business. Public warehousing, contract DCs, asset trucking, brokerage, and consulting — all under one roof.
A different kind of logistics partner — by design.
The 3PL market has plenty of options. Here's what makes Taylor structurally different from the field — and why Fortune 500 enterprises and fast-growth CPG brands choose us side by side.
1850. Family-owned. 6 + 7 generations. Built to outlast every PE timeline.
Family answers the phone. Onboarding measured in days, not quarters.
Fortune 500 enterprises and fast-growth CPG brands run on the same Taylor playbook.
Fortune 500 enterprises and fast-growth CPG brands — side by side.
The same operating team, the same WMS, the same SLA discipline. Whether you're shipping 500 pallets a year or 500,000, you get the family treatment and the enterprise rigor.
Fortune 500 partners
Routing-guide compliance, OTIF discipline, vendor scorecards, and multi-DC orchestration. Documented food-safety programs, supplier-diversity reporting (WBE-certified), and LOCT sustainability participation make Taylor a comfortable choice for procurement teams with strict reporting requirements.
Fast-growth CPG brands
Onboarding in days, transparent line-item pricing, no locked-in long-term contracts, and infrastructure that scales from 500 orders/month to 10,000 without breaking. The same family team running the Fortune 500 program is running yours — without the enterprise-account latency.
