Why Ellys

Why shippers trust Ellys

Your load goes to a carrier we have checked, with a broker you can reach.

⚖

Authority checked live, every assignment

Before a carrier is assigned your load, its operating authority is re-checked live with FMCSA, its insurance on file must be current, and it is screened against our fraud blocklist. Any exception is approved by the owner and logged.

✓

Lost authority or expired insurance: no load

A carrier whose authority is inactive, or whose insurance on file has expired or lapses before delivery, is not assigned your freight.

🛡

Fraud-screened at booking

2M+ FMCSA-registered carriers in our vetting database, with our fraud and double-broker engine screening every booking.

📍

Real-time tracking

Live GPS location and ETA whenever the driver shares location through our no-download link, with shareable status for your team.

One point of contact

One dedicated broker, not a call-center queue. They own the outcome.

The operator behind every load

Lorenzo Aguayo, Founder and CEO of Ellys International Logistics

Lorenzo Aguayo

Founder & CEO · Ellys International Logistics

Lorenzo built Ellys on a simple conviction: the people who move the freight should own the technology that runs it. So he did both — standing up a licensed, bonded Chicago 3PL, then writing the software behind it load by load, from the desk out.

That stack — EllysTMS, FactorOS, EllysTrax and Ellys Academy — runs the Ellys brokerage every day across the US and Mexico, and is offered to other brokers, factoring companies and carriers. It was not bought or outsourced. It was earned by someone who still answers the phone.

“I do not want to be the biggest broker. I want to be the one you trust with the load you cannot afford to lose — and the one who hands you the tools to do the same.”

Questions

Shippers & freight brokers ask us this

Is Ellys a freight broker or a software company?
Both. Ellys International Logistics is a licensed, bonded U.S. 3PL (USDOT 4576045, MC 1820877) that moves freight every day, and it builds the software it runs on.
Does Ellys handle cross-border U.S.-Mexico shipping?
Yes. Ellys quotes and arranges cross-border U.S.-Mexico freight, moves truckload dry van and flatbed across the U.S., and arranges LTL, reefer, intermodal, expedited and Canada lanes on request.
How does Ellys vet carriers?
Before a carrier is assigned a load, its operating authority is re-checked live with FMCSA, its certificate of insurance on file must be current through delivery, and it is screened against our fraud blocklist. Any exception is approved by the owner and logged.
Is the Ellys client portal really free?
Yes. Every Ellys shipper gets the client portal at no cost: live tracking, shareable tracking links and status alerts. It runs in your web browser on any device, so there is no app to download, ever.
How do I get a freight quote?
Click Get a quote anywhere on this page, email quotes@ellysint.com, or call the rate desk at +1 312-260-1862. Tell us the lane and we come back with an all-in rate and a dedicated broker.
What is EllysTMS?
EllysTMS is a multi-tenant transportation management system (TMS) for freight brokerages: instant quoting, live FMCSA carrier vetting, real-time tracking with POD, invoicing, and built-in factoring, all in one platform.
Can I run my own brokerage on EllysTMS?
Yes. EllysTMS is multi-tenant, so your brokerage gets its own isolated, secure instance with your data walled off from every other tenant. Book a demo to see it.
How much does EllysTMS cost?
EllysTMS starts free, with paid tiers at $199/mo (Pro) and $499/mo (Scale). Bundle it with EllysTrax and Academy from $299/mo, or get the top-tier Ellys Signature Suite for $699/mo. FactorOS, for factoring companies, is priced separately. Founding 50 clients lock 25% off for life.
