Our Story

Founded in 2013 in Anchorage, Alaska, Global Cargo Union (Global CU) began with a simple mission: to provide reliable, efficient cargo delivery services that businesses across Alaska and the United States could depend on. What started as a small local operation with just three trucks has grown into a comprehensive logistics company serving customers nationwide.

Our founders recognized a significant gap in the mid-volume cargo delivery market. Many logistics companies focused either on small parcel delivery or large-scale freight operations, leaving businesses with medium-sized shipments underserved. Global CU was established to fill this niche, offering personalized service combined with the capabilities of a major logistics provider.

Over the past 12 years, we've expanded our fleet, opened additional facilities across strategic US locations, and built a reputation for reliability that extends from Alaska to all 50 states. Today, Global Cargo Union operates a modern fleet of over 50 vehicles, employs more than 100 dedicated logistics professionals, and manages multiple warehousing facilities totaling over 200,000 square feet of storage space.

Our success is built on strong relationships with our clients, many of whom have been with us since our early days. We've grown alongside our customers, adapting our services to meet evolving logistics needs while maintaining the personal touch that defined our company from the beginning.
