Freightology: Spotlight on Our Agency Partner
Meet Our Incredible Agency Partner: Freightology!
At PEI, we recognize that the strength of our logistics offerings lies in the partnerships that we cultivate. Our mission is to provide expedited truckloads and specialized shipping scenarios through our exceptional logistics solutions. To achieve this, we partner with select agencies across the US. Among them is Freightology, owned and operated by Dena Coblentz, based in the logistics hotspot of Chattanooga, Tennessee. With a dedication to excellence, flexibility, and community engagement, Freightology quickly became one of our trusted PEI family members. Because together, we’re not just partners; we’re a family that is committed to going the extra mile for our customers. Let’s take a look at why we and our customers love working with Freightology ❤️…
Freightology’s Story and the Family-Like Culture
Founded just four years ago by Dena Coblentz—a family-loving, animal-obsessed, driven businesswoman—Freightology has quickly made its mark in the heart of Chattanooga, Tennessee, famously known as the “home of freight.” Nestled between the Appalachian Mountains and the Tennessee River, this location places Freightology right in the thick of logistics activity. Dena’s vision from the start was to foster a team-oriented, compassionate culture that values quality and service over size, making every client feel valued. In her 4 years of business, Dena has built an expert, dream team of four employees that have adopted this culture and, true to her love of animals, also brought on arguably the most important member—their beloved office dog, Bowser! 🐶
One thing that really stands out for us about Freightology is that they bring a refreshing, approach to the freight industry. As a woman-owned business, they stand out in the traditionally male-dominated field, making our partnership with another successful woman-led agency all the more special.
Their strong family-like culture filled with integrity, loyalty, hard work, and a dedication to providing a service of going above and beyond truly empowers every team member to prioritize customer needs, creating a unique commitment to client satisfaction.
The Freightology Edge
Freightology prides themselves on their title as flatbed specialists and can arrange freight anywhere in the USA, Canada, and Mexico with a focus on open-deck freight. Don’t discount them, though, when it comes to LTL, Expedited, Dry Vans, Reefers, Box Trucks, Cargo Vans, Sprinters, and even rail within the lower 48 states, Canada, Mexico, and Alaska.
With means to offer Conestoga and hot shot loads too, for oversized, partial, and full truckloads, their access to a wide range of equipment and expertize means they have the ability to transport freight across all kinds of different industries – no freight is too big or small for them at Freightology.
Just to give you a taste of the types of freight they most regularly ship;
- Construction materials
- Machinery
- Agricultural products
- Food
- Hazardous materials
However, they really will ship almost anything. You ask, they will help. You see, they have this niche where, unlike larger brokerages, they have the flexibility to hand-pick the freight that aligns with their expertize and values, allowing for a truly tailored service. This tailored approach allows Freightology to offer truck-sharing options to help clients save on costs while keeping trucks full for maximum efficiency. They can achieve all of this while also offering a level of flexibility that allows them to meet last-minute requests. All of this combined makes them a trusted choice for clients who need shipments moving on specific timelines—a huge advantage for small to mid-sized businesses. Ultimately, this means they’re able to meet diverse needs without compromising on quality or efficiency 😄
Giving Back
Another reason we LOVE working with Freightology is because they all have HUGE hearts and show this through supporting their local community and actively giving back. They support several local organizations, including Murray County Animal Shelter, Walker County Animal Shelter, and Chambliss Children’s Shelter. These organizations share the same ultimate goal of improving the lives of both animals and children in need, making Freightology not just a logistics provider but also a valued community partner.
But hang on, they don’t stop there as avid animal lovers; they also participate in a K9-5 program, where team members “rent” shelter dogs for the day. The initiative is a win-win: it brings joy to the team and the office environment and also helps shelter dogs become more socialized, enjoy a day out of the shelter, and, ultimately, helps to make them more adoptable. If you’re an animal lover too, you should check it out and see how you can help change the lives of some furry friends too.
