Manufacturing Logistics
Manufacturing Logistics
Move critical manufacturing components, finished goods, and raw materials efficiently between plants, suppliers, and distribution centers with our asset-based fleet and network of trusted carriers. Support just-in-time production and minimize downtime with customized, flexible logistics solutions.
At Badger Logistics, we do more than move freight—we partner with manufacturers to deliver comprehensive logistics solutions that reduce bottlenecks, streamline processes, and protect your bottom line. We understand the pressures of supply chain disruptions and tight production schedules, and we design solutions that keep your manufacturing operations running smoothly.
We offer end-to-end logistics solutions for all stages of your supply chain, from flatbed carriers for raw materials to FDA-registered storage for finished food-grade products to on-time product delivery.
Our network of 15,000+ vetted carriers allows us to scale our services to accommodate tight shipping schedules, fluctuations in volume, and diverse trailer needs.
It’s our policy to know all the relevant details about the loads entrusted to us. We only accept loads we’re confident we can deliver at the service quality you expect.
Tailored solutions for transporting building materials, equipment, and managing project-based shipping needs.
Since Badger does drop trailers for us, we can load trailers at night or whenever we can. That keeps our inventory down. Basically anything we've ever asked, they've done. The warehousing component has been huge for us. All we have to do is send the paperwork to Badger, and we know it's going to get taken care of.

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.
As a mid-sized carrier, we combine the flexibility and hands-on service of a smaller provider with the resources and reliability of a large carrier. You’re not just a number—you’re a valued partner.
Food, packaging, concrete, equipment, paper, adhesives, and more—we have a breadth of experience across manufacturing sectors. From tight production timelines to demand surges, our team understands the nuances of logistics in this industry.
We’re here when you need us with responsive support tailored to your needs. You choose how often you want to receive real-time updates on your freight—no more floods of notifications filling your inbox.
Simplify your vendor network with end-to-end services that reduce delays, cut costs, and improve efficiency.
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.

We ship a variety of food-grade products: creamers, milk, packaging. Sometimes we need tanker-endorsed drivers. Sometimes we need a reefer truck. We like working with Badger because we know we can get the right trailer and a qualified, trustworthy driver no matter what.
