OUR STORY

From Chicago to the World

QuickRoute started as a small customs brokerage in Chicago in 2010. Founder Marcus Reid saw a gap: small and mid-sized businesses were underserved by the logistics giants and overcharged by middlemen.

We built something different — a technology-first platform with human expertise at its core. Today, we handle everything from a single pallet of e-commerce returns to multi-modal project cargo for energy companies across 6 continents.
