About the Company

Biagi Bros.

When "The Biagi Brothers", Fred Jr. and Greg Biagi, started their trucking company, they set out to support growing businesses. As young men, our founders learned the nuts and bolts of the transportation business from their father, Fred Sr., who ran a large LTL company. With the purchase of their first truck, the young Biagis set in motion a company that was destined to grow and take its place at the forefront of the logistics industry. Both brothers possess an ambitious work ethic and always put their customers first. They expanded operations into warehousing and 3PL in 1986, less than a decade since founding the company in 1978.
