on the Table

Our carriers average 18 cents more per mile than they earned dispatching themselves. On 10,000 miles a month, that's $1,800 extra — every month.

Our Story

Built by Drivers.
Run for Drivers.

Founded on one belief: owner-operators deserve a dispatching partner that truly goes to work for them — a real team that negotiates hard and answers every call.

Who We Are

Freight Logistics &
Dispatching

3 Lakes Logistics is a fully licensed freight logistics and dispatching company co-founded by Mark Odom and Deandre Richard. We operate as both a dispatching service for independent owner-operators and a growing asset-based carrier — giving us insight from both sides of the windshield.

Our dual-model approach means dispatching fees provide consistent income while our own fleet generates higher-margin freight revenue. Both fuel each other's growth — and that benefits every carrier partner we serve.

We are FMCSA licensed, fully bonded, and covered by all required commercial insurance. Every carrier verified, every broker vetted, every load tracked to delivery.

🤝
Relationship First
We know your name, home base, lanes, and goals.
💪
Relentless Negotiation
Every load, every time — we fight for the highest rate.
🛡️
Full Compliance
FMCSA licensed, bonded, and committed to regulatory excellence.
