A Growing Tradition

The Syfan family—Jim Syfan, wife Gloria, and their two sons, Greg and Steve—launched their original transportation company in 1984 just north of Atlanta in Gainesville, Ga.

Today, the tradition continues with Syfan Logistics—the family’s heralded return to the logistics business. In just under two years, their company has grown to over 80 professional team members and drivers with an annual revenue run rate surpassing $40 million for 2013.

Expertise in Foodstuffs

With its location in a bustling poultry-industry region, Syfan Logistics is well-versed in hauling deadline-sensitive, perishable food products. The company works extensively with the nation’s largest foodstuffs companies in the poultry, seafood, confectionary, cereal and soft drink industries.

Syfan also brings this 40-year experience and commitment to on-time delivery to its non-food customers, including the world’s largest package-delivery companies as well as the expedited divisions of America’s major automotive manufacturers.

Key Services

With a 100% commitment to on-time pick-up and delivery—and full communications every step of the way—Syfan Logistics provides the following key services.

Syfan Dedicated: Syfan owns its own fleet of trucks and trailers (refrigerated, flatbed and dry van). This versatility is put to work with a dedicated fleet division focused exclusively on each customer’s individual shipping needs with a designated driver handling the same loads on a weekly basis.
Syfan Expedited: For the highest priority loads with the most demanding delivery schedules, no one in the industry has more experience in expedited logistics. The Syfans’ vast experience in poultry and other national foodstuff industries has forged a unique sensitivity to deadline-oriented product shipping. When others say “no,” the only answer you’ll hear from Syfan Expedited is “yes.”
Third-Party Logistics: For shippers faced with a sudden spike in shipping volume or the occasional spot load, Syfan Logistics is able to fill those emergency gaps with its reliable, pre-qualified team of core carriers.
Freight Management: Utilizing its newest technology platform, Syfan can now oversee a company’s entire freight program, including:
Bidding and procurement
Carrier realignment
Order consolidation/load optimization
Load execution
Spot market management

The bottom line for customers is significant cost savings through greater operational efficiencies.

A Tradition of Innovation

Syfan Logistics is leading a technological revolution in transportation communications through its partnership with McLeod Software. Exclusive web-based portals provide Syfan customers with real-time access to live GPS status reports for each and every shipment—from start to finish. Through EDI, customers also are able to tender their loads directly into the Syfan database, access and download their bills of lading, and view instant summaries of shipping costs—all from the convenience of their computer.

This spirit of innovation and customer service continues the Syfan legacy as a tradition in American transportation.
