Buy a Speedy Freight Franchise

Speedy Freight is a logistics and freight franchise operating in the third-party logistics (3PL) sector, arranging fast, reliable transportation and fulfilment for business customers. Founded in the UK in 2006 and franchising since 2010, the brand grew to more than 60 locations across Europe before entering the US market in 2023.

In the US, Speedy Freight runs an asset-light model: franchisees broker shipments through a network of vetted carriers rather than owning trucks, warehouses or inventory. Owners focus on consultative B2B sales, winning local accounts in manufacturing, distribution and e-commerce and coordinating expedited, full-truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), parcel and fulfilment solutions through the brand’s technology platform and central support team.

Each US franchise works a defined territory mapped around roughly 9,000 local businesses. The brand is headquartered in Dallas, where it has built a 50,000-square-foot warehouse and training facility, and is rolling out nationally with franchise developer Franchise FastLane. Its differentiator is a people-led, tech-enabled service promise in a sector often seen as impersonal.

Why buy a Speedy Freight Franchise?

Buying a Speedy Freight franchise offers entry into the essential, e-commerce-driven logistics sector through a low-overhead, recurring-revenue model. Because franchisees broker freight rather than run fleets, there is no buildout, heavy equipment or inventory to manage, and the business can start lean and scale by adding sales and operations staff over time. Volume-based carrier pricing and a proprietary platform for quoting, tracking and customer management give owners tools an independent broker would have to assemble alone.

The brand pairs its European track record with a US support infrastructure built for the market, and participates in the VetFran programme for military veterans. For a resale buyer, an established unit can come with an existing book of B2B accounts and carrier relationships already generating repeat shipments, assets that take time to build from scratch.

Speedy Freight – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Incoming owners complete 80 hours of initial training through a two-week academy at the Dallas headquarters, blending classroom, virtual and on-the-job learning across operations, sales, technology tools and customer service. Ongoing support continues through coaching in sales, finance and operations, a franchisee intranet, national and local marketing, and a central team that helps coordinate shipments and carrier bookings. The technology platform handles quoting, tracking and customer management. Resale buyers should confirm what transfer training and platform access pass to incoming owners and staff when ownership changes.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Speedy Freight suits a sales-led operator comfortable with consultative B2B selling and building long-term local relationships. The day-to-day is winning and servicing accounts, visiting manufacturers, distributors and e-commerce businesses, quoting jobs and coordinating shipments, rather than driving or warehouse work. No logistics background is required; experience in sales, account management, business development or operations leadership transfers well. The strongest fit is a sociable, organised self-starter who enjoys networking, problem-solving and growing a book of business at their own pace.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Speedy Freight built its reputation in the UK and Europe, where it grew to more than 60 locations and was named a finalist for Logistics Franchise of the Year at the 2023 Franchise Awards. In the US, the brand has expanded quickly since 2023 and partnered with franchise development firm Franchise FastLane for its national rollout, and it participates in the VetFran programme for military veterans. Customer service is reinforced by public Trustpilot reviews. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reputation, reviews and referral relationships.

  4. Industry / Market

    Speedy Freight operates in third-party logistics, where businesses outsource shipping and fulfilment instead of running their own fleets. The US 3PL market is large and still growing, reaching roughly $323 billion in 2025 and expanding around 5% a year (Armstrong & Associates), driven by sustained e-commerce growth and more complex supply chains. Demand is broad-based across manufacturing, distribution and online retail, and outsourced logistics has proved resilient as companies seek flexible, on-demand capacity. For resale buyers, that backdrop supports steady B2B demand, though local revenue still depends on the territory's account base.
