Our Story: Reliable Freight Management Since 1980
Founded in 1980 by Mark Hecht, Nationwide Transportation started with a simple promise: to never let customers down. When the 3PL company he was working for decided to close, Mark launched his own business offering logistics services to keep his customers’ freight moving, establishing Nationwide’s long-standing commitment to reliable, personalized service.
Growth & Milestones
In 2013, Scott Hecht took ownership, continuing our relationship-driven approach. We have been complaint-free on the Better Business Bureau since 2014, demonstrating our dedication to integrity.
Evolving Freight Management
Freight delivery, by truck and train, remains our core. Now, we offer online quoting, tracking, tracing, and EDI integration to enhance our logistics services. Still, we believe people make the difference, not just technology.ur dedication to integrity.
