ABOUT SWIFT CARGO LIFT LOGISTICS

A freight company
that picks up the phone.

Founded in 2019. Built on one rule: every shipment gets a name attached to it. Five years and 500+ clients later, the rule still holds.

FOUNDER'S NOTE
"Fifteen years at the big carriers taught me one thing: mid-sized shippers get treated as an afterthought. Swift Cargo Lift exists so they don't have to be."
Marcus Cheng
Founder & CEO, Swift Cargo Lift

OUR STORY

Three people. One 757.

Swift Cargo Lift started in 2019 with a single Boeing 757 charter contract, three employees, and a leased warehouse outside Fresno, California. Marcus Cheng had spent fifteen years at large carriers watching mid-sized shippers get late updates, opaque pricing, and customs delays that nobody owned.

The fix was not complicated: name the operator on every shipment. Pick up the phone when something goes wrong. Quote prices that do not change at the dock. Five years and four new hubs later, that is still the operating principle.

"We do not want to be the biggest. We want to be the one that answers."
Marcus Cheng, Founder · 2019
OUR MISSION

What We Stand For.

Three principles that guide every decision we make and every shipment we handle.

01

Precision Over Everything

Every route, every shipment, every delivery handled with the highest standard of care and accuracy. No estimates. No "should arrive." Just dates we hit.

02

Global Without Limits

Air, ocean and road freight across 120+ countries. If you can name the destination, we have a path to it. Vetted partners on every continent.

03

People First

Real support, real accountability. Every account has a named operator reachable 24/7. No call-center queues. No ticket numbers.

WHERE WE OPERATE

One HQ. Five gateways.

Five strategic hubs cover the routes our clients actually ship. Customs, transhipment and regional coordination handled in-house at each.
