Intra-Wisconsin shipments and deliveries to just over neighboring states’ borders (e.g., Illinois, Minnesota) including Milwaukee, Chicago, Rockford, Madison, Green Bay, and Wausau. Typically within a 200-250 mile radius. Same-day or next-day delivery options.
Coverage throughout the Midwest at distances up to 700 miles from origin. Typically one-day transit time serving the states of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and North and South Dakota.
Long-haul shipment coverage extends across the continental United States and parts of Canada. Typical transit times of 2-3 days for long-distance hauls. Ideal for shipments over 700 miles and where partial shipping offers significant cost advantages.
We understand the construction industry’s demand cycles, specialized equipment needs, and supply chain requirements.
We offer intermodal transportation: a combination of over-the-road and rail shipping that is both cost-effective for long distances and accommodates overflow rail cargo by shipping it over the road.
Our brokerage prioritizes reliability, compliance, and quality over the lowest-cost options, ensuring peace of mind with every load.
We focus on relationships over transactions, offering consistent service and proactive logistics support to keep your projects moving smoothly.
I trust Badger with most of my regional loads because I know their team is going to deliver on time and keep the handling of my freight their top priority. I also appreciate that they try to be as efficient as possible and charge a reasonable price for their services. Their communication, transparency, and ability to accommodate puts them light years ahead of a lot of their competitors.
Badger's customer service has been fantastic—and that's becoming really hard to find these days. We called them up recently, and within three hours, they had something brought back from the warehouse. It helps us out a lot. They're one of those logistics partners that is so good, they never tell you 'no.'
Finding a logistics company that understands specialized shipping used to be a real headache for us. Since we've been with Badger, that's one less thing I have to worry about. The work they do behind the scenes, communicating with sites to ensure smooth delivery experiences, really is invaluable and unmatched. Their pool of vetted drivers allows us to keep our promises and grow our business. When they say they'll have a truck there at 7 AM, you can count on it being there at 7 AM—and in this industry, that reliability is worth its weight in gold.
Success story
Charter NEX Films, a manufacturer of high-performance packaging films, faced complex logistics challenges, including strict on-time delivery requirements and surging demand during COVID-19. By partnering with Badger Logistics, they gained access to food-grade trailers, integrated warehousing, and specialized consolidation services. The result: improved on-time deliveries, reduced product damage, thousands in annual cost savings from lower detention times, and streamlined operations with most warehouse turnaround times under 30 minutes.
