A side-by-side evaluation of four shortlisted third-party logistics providers for the West Coast distribution build. Scored across cost, capability, fit, and risk.
Brightpath is not the cheapest option, but the combination of furniture-grade white-glove handling, native trade-program routing, and a 12-month contract floor makes it materially safer than the alternatives. Drift is tempting on price but the lack of segment experience is a real risk during peak season. Cargo Lane is a respectable backup if Brightpath terms can’t be reached.
