Whisk Freight Brokerage, LLC and Whisk Logistics LLC are separate companies owned by the same family. Whisk Logistics is a port drayage carrier in Carson and owns trucks. Whisk Freight Brokerage arranges shipments with carriers reviewed through both Highway and Carrier411 before onboarding and monitored on an ongoing basis.
