Watch the Story ->

30 years of forward movement, one customer at a time.
Lazer Logistics® is powered by a 3-pronged approach to efficiency and effectiveness rooted in technology, operations, and most importantly, our people. Lazer® has been leading outsourced yard logistics since 1996. With over 700 locations and an industry-low idle time of 16%, we help the world’s largest brands unlock precision, uptime, and measurable CO₂ savings.
Our Story
Lazer Logistics® started in 1996 when two founders pooled their savings to buy a single spotter truck. After 30 years of relentless improvement, we’ve grown into the largest provider of outsourced yard logistics. With 700+ locations in the U.S. and Canada, including 54 of the Fortune 500, we have the reach needed to tirelessly serve our customers.

While our core focus is yard management services, including yard spotting, shuttling, and related technologies, we’re also an award-winning leader in sustainability. We stand on pillars of resilience, leadership development, and commitment to our customers. With an average idle time at a fraction of the industry average, our expert analysts help you eliminate operational blind spots, maximize uptime, and deliver repeatable bottom-line savings, all while reducing CO2 emissions.

Our Purpose

We’re here to move businesses, and the people behind them, forward. Because every move in the right direction grows businesses, strengthens communities, and empowers our people, for good and for the better.
