AboutLotex LLC.

What is Lotex LLC?

Lotex LLC is a licensed property broker (MC-1120475, USDOT 3077293) based in Medina, Ohio, in the Cleveland area. We arrange dry van, flatbed and Conestoga freight for shippers across the Midwest and Northeast, with a focus on steel coils and tarped loads. We call ourselves an asset-based brokerage because the trucks we book come from a small group of partner fleets whose operations we manage directly: around 200 trucks in total. Those fleets are separate companies with their own USDOT numbers, and they haul the freight. Lotex arranges the load, sets the rate and keeps the shipper updated until delivery. Shippers send a lane by phone, email or the form on this site and get an all-in rate the same day. Lotex has been registered with FMCSA since 2017.

Is Lotex a broker or a carrier?

A broker. Lotex holds property broker authority from FMCSA under MC-1120475. The trucks that move your freight belong to our partner fleets, which run under their own operating authority and insurance. We dispatch and track loads in Oculus Freight and check partner fleets' safety records with Oculus Reviews. Directory sites that copy FMCSA data only show Lotex's own registration, not the partner fleets we book.

What freight does Lotex arrange?

Dry vans for palletized and floor-loaded freight. Flatbeds and Conestogas for steel coils and tarped loads that can't get wet. Send one lane to try us, or set us up as a backup for the trucks you use now.

Where does Lotex run freight?

From Northeast Ohio (Cleveland, Akron, Canton, Youngstown and Medina) across the Midwest and Northeast: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, New York, Kentucky and West Virginia.

How fast do I get a rate?

The same day. Send the origin, destination, equipment and pickup date by phone at (888) 631-3393, by email to support@lotexlogistics.com, or with the quote form, and we reply with an all-in rate.

Does Lotex hire drivers?

No. Drivers are hired by the partner fleet companies, not by Lotex. CDL-A drivers can apply on our drivers page, and the fleet that's hiring calls them back.
