Chicago-area warehousing and transportation.
A full-service 3PL that lets you grow with confidence.
When your business grows, its challenges shouldn’t.
But a 3PL that can’t change with you makes your growth a liability:
Response time slows. Mistakes increase. Costs mount.
It could be different.
When your business changes, so do your logistics needs: More space. More flexibility. More responsiveness. First Logistics is designed to meet those needs today and change with you tomorrow. So no matter what, you’ll grow with confidence.
The execution you need. The excellence customers expect.
At First Logistics, one call gets you access to recognized leaders with decades of industry experience. A faster response means a better result.

Who partners with First Logistics?
We serve companies based around the world, in a variety of industries, who need Chicago-area warehousing and U.S transportation.
Most contact us because they’re experiencing one of three challenges:
New or growing business.
If you’re expanding into the Midwest or have reached the point where it’s no longer sensible to manage your own Midwest inventory, we can help.
Outgrown current provider.
If you need stronger tracking, better documentation or faster response time than you’re getting from your current 3PL, especially during order spikes and fluctuations, we can help.
Frustrated by service failures.
If you’ve been disappointed too many times by slow delivery, lost product or inaccurate packing that cuts into profitability, we can help.
Special projects & overflow warehousing.
First Logistics’ flexible approach means we’re often called upon to craft solutions outside the traditional supply chain. If you’re facing a specific challenge, let us tailor our approach for you.
First Logistics is designed to work as an extension of your business.
The four pillars below make that possible.
Operations
Experience and resourcefulness allow us to implement creative solutions that reduce errors, save you money and exceed your customers’ expectations. First Logistics’ operations are organized around five core values: Accuracy, Timeliness, Safety, Sanitation and Security.
For the past 12 years, our commitment to strong operations has earned us a “superior” grade in audits from the American Institute of Baking (AIB).
Teams
First Logistics teams prepare for everything – so you’ll be ready for anything.
Our site leadership meets weekly to plan, share resources and solve problems before they can start. Managers share their individual expertise across sites, and warehouse employees are cross-trained on multiple locations and accounts so that when you experience a demand spike, we’ve already got spare hands on deck equipped to help.
Your reputation will be built by your response to unexpected changes: Order increases, new regulations, product reworks or recalls. If your 3PL adapts with ease, you shine.
Technology
First Logistics runs on Manhattan SCALE, a Tier 1 warehouse management system (WMS) that maximizes efficiency and unlocks flexibility.
Our WMS ensures an efficient, constantly optimizing solution for your warehousing needs. Gain real-time insights into activities and order management – all at your fingertips.
When your 3PL applies technology well, you’ll know more about your inventory. And when you know more, you’ll worry less.
Custom Solutions
From public and contract warehousing to packaging, kitting, pick and pack, display building, fulfillment, freight brokerage and site leasing and acquisition, First Logistics offers a broad range of third-party logistics services. But what matters most is that you have the support you need, time after time, on time and on budget.
That’s why your company’s solutions will be tailor-made for you. To learn more, schedule a call now with a member of the First Logistics executive team – we’ll write a customized plan and quote services to suit your business.
