McLaren Transport is a trusted name in transportation and logistics with more than 20 years of experience supporting businesses across the United States and Canada. Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, McLaren combines deep industry knowledge with a customer-centric approach to simplify the movement of goods of all sizes. Our team focuses on delivering dependable service, clear communication, and supply chain solutions that help companies meet their goals on time and on budget. Our commitment to safety, innovation, and sustainability make us a strong partner for businesses looking to keep freight moving efficiently.
Comprehensive Transportation Services
McLaren offers a full range of transportation services designed to support dynamic supply chains. Full truckload capacity, regional and long-haul options, expedited freight services, and cross-border readiness mean we can handle routine shipments as well as time-sensitive loads that require careful planning and execution. Our transportation solutions are backed by hands-on coordination and real-time support to make sure shipments arrive safely and on time. Whether your business needs dry van, refrigerated, or specialized freight, the McLaren team works to tailor our services to meet your specific operational needs.
Warehousing and Storage Solutions
in addition to moving freight, McLaren provides robust warehousing capabilities that support both short- and long-term storage. We manage over 75,000 square feet of secure warehouse space, including temperature-controlled cold storage designed for perishable products or materials requiring strict environmental conditions. These facilities help businesses maintain continuity in their supply chains and reduce logistics complexity by offering a central hub for inventory, fulfillment, and distribution.
Value-Added Services for Supply Chain Efficiency
McLaren’s value-added services go beyond basic transportation and storage to include cross-docking, transloading, repacking, and similar logistics support that increases flexibility and decreases handling times. Cross-docking helps keep products moving with minimal storage delays, while transloading enables seamless transfer between different transportation modes. Repacking and other services help businesses streamline operations and adapt inventory as needs change. For companies looking to optimize their supply chain and reduce costs, these services provide tangible benefits while enhancing overall logistics performance.
Strategic Advantage of the Gordie Howe International Bridge
McLaren’s location near the recently completed Gordie Howe International Bridge positions the company to better serve customers with cross-border transportation needs. This modern border crossing increases capacity, improves traffic flow between Windsor, Ontario and Detroit, Michigan, and supports faster movement of goods across an important trade corridor. For businesses importing or exporting freight with Canada, our proximity to the new bridge can reduce transit times and create new opportunities for efficient distribution and storage.
Note: The Gordie Howe Bridge is projected to open in early-mid 2026.
Partnership with DQS Solutions & Staffing
In 2025, McLaren Transport joined forces with DQS Solutions & Staffing. This strategic acquisition broadened DQS’s logistics and transportation capabilities while preserving McLaren’s core strengths in supply chain services. Together, the combined organization now offers more comprehensive solutions that integrate warehousing, freight movement, and industry support operations under one umbrella. This partnership enhances value for clients in sectors like automotive, manufacturing, and general freight by simplifying coordination, expanding geographic reach, and strengthening service reliability.
