A yard in motion is complex. Trucks operate alongside cranes, with stacks of containers rising by the hour in a tightly choreographed rhythm of freight, equipment, and people. Every movement is coordinated to maintain flow, efficiency, and safety. ConGlobal has operated within this environment for more than half a century, helping ports, railroads, and inland hubs knit together the movement of global trade. From the dawn of intermodal containers to today’s data-driven, velocity-obsessed supply chains, the company has evolved in step with the industry and its customers. That consistency has made ConGlobal one of the most trusted operators in intermodal logistics. It runs the largest depot terminal network in North America, with sites across the United States, Mexico, and Costa Rica. The company’s work spans every facet of yard and terminal operations, including equipment repair and maintenance, container modification, sales and leasing, and redistribution for global ocean carriers and leasing firms. With deep operational expertise, multimodal reach, and field-ready technology, ConGlobal helps customers cut costs, reduce dwell time, and unlock new value within the complex choreography of freight. More than scale, ConGlobal is recognized for the intelligence behind its network. Its yards form part of the backbone of modern trade, where thousands of containers, chassis, and trailers are managed daily by teams blending engineering precision with hands-on skill. That mix of experience and discipline built the company’s reputation for reliability. But leadership saw a systemic vulnerability across the industry: when visibility disappears, control falters. Containers get misplaced, equipment moves without documentation, and small errors multiply under pressure. Inside ConGlobal, they called it “yard blindness.” Then they decided to cure it.
A driver arrives at a pickup location right on schedule. The paperwork appears complete, the truck is branded, and everything seems in order. But one small mismatch in the details—an unfamiliar contact name, an outdated insurance certificate—raises a quiet concern. In many cases, that’s all it takes for a high-value load to be handed over to the wrong person. Cargo theft rarely announces itself. It slips through unnoticed, taking advantage of rushed processes, fragmented communication, and manual checks that leave room for error. As the industry accelerates, so does the risk—not because companies are careless, but because legacy systems haven’t kept pace. This is exactly where STT Logistics Group delivers value. More than a freight broker, it acts as a full-service logistics partner, blending operational precision with top-tier security protocols. STT Logistics Group builds its operations around proactive verification and structured workflows—closing the gaps that typically lead to cargo theft or delivery errors. At the heart of this system is a custom-built mobile app, used by every driver to complete a rigorous Know Your Customer (KYC) process. This includes validation of identity, licenses, insurance, and operational authority. An AI-powered system conducts the first round of checks. If anything requires further review, a dedicated back-office team manually verifies the details. Every step—from driver selection to load assignment—is tracked and cross-referenced. Before a pickup occurs, shippers receive verified credentials, ensuring the person on-site is fully authorized and cleared. "Our back office team verifies each driver through an AI process, cross-checking insurance, licenses and any claims. If AI doesn’t clear them, manual approval makes sure that they’re authorized, insured and reliable before dispatching. This guarantees only qualified drivers handle our shipments,” says Andre Corbert, CEO of STT Logistics Group.
5th Dimension Logistix is a second-generation, family-owned business that caters to the varied requirements of clients by blending responsiveness, flexibility and accountability. By providing multiple services under one roof or beyond, the company has earned a reputation for solving the most complex challenges where its competitors have failed. As a purpose-built custom logistics provider, 5th Dimension Logistix’s services include warehousing, final mile pickup/ delivery and dedicated fleet/labor allocation. It integrates trucks and drivers directly into clients’ operations to eliminate reliance on fragmented third-party transport. A close alignment between storage and delivery strengthens clients’ ability to respond to unpredictable demands and evolving regulations. For example, during the pandemic, it secured an emergency CISA exemption and quickly adapted its warehousing and delivery operations to meet e-commerce fulfillment demands. While others went remote, its teams remained operational, ensuring uninterrupted service when clients needed dependable, real-world logistics during a time when many businesses and services were shut down. These decisive actions, powered by the commitment of its team, reinforce 5th Dimension Logistix’s value as a true partner in situational adversity. “Our focus isn’t just on delivering freight, it’s delivering solutions,” says Chris Bartley, COO. The dedication to helping its team perform at their best empowers them to rise to the occasion during high-pressure situations. Its frontline staff, including drivers and dispatchers, along with the management team, take full responsibility for their roles during critical moments, offering customers accountability and flexibility. This deep-rooted culture of taking ownership of the process ensures responsive, real-time action. Beyond core logistics, the company has steadily expanded its offerings to include scheduled routing, point-to-point terminal distribution and white-glove services. Today, it operates across over 3,000 zip codes throughout New York, New Jersey, Western Connecticut and Eastern Pennsylvania, continuously scaling to meet evolving customer needs. Regardless of the time and circumstance, 5th Dimension Logistix is ready to provide customers with reliable services. In one instance, a client needed to ship a crate after office hours due to an original carrier’s failure. With FedEx counters closed after the cutoff, they found themselves in a complex situation. Within minutes, 5th Dimension Logistix was contacted and arranged for a TSA-certified driver to deliver the shipment directly to JFK airport for a Delta Air Lines flight to Los Angeles.

Intelligent Solutions Driving the Future of Logistics
What’s striking is how storage itself has been redefined. It’s no longer a siloed cost center but part of a unified logistics precinct, where documentation, consolidation, light processing and warehousing are seamlessly connected. The most competitive players treat their yards as intelligent ecosystems, leveraging software and data to turn storage into a strategic advantage. With the logistics and transportation market projected to reach USD 17.1 billion by 2034 at a 6.3 percent CAGR, the lesson of 2025 is clear: precision, connectivity and automation aren’t optional upgrades; they’re the new rules of the game.
The magazine features a thought-provoking article by Greg Javor, SVP of Global Supply Chain Operations at Mattel. In it, Javor highlights the need for adaptive leadership, rigorous service excellence and data-driven logistics to navigate today’s disrupted supply chains, while underscoring how people, technology and purpose will shape a more resilient future. Additionally, an article by Romie Montpeirous, Director of Logistics, at Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, explores how unified logistics solutions, adaptable leadership and emerging technologies are transforming supply chain efficiency and workforce readiness.
The cover story spotlights ConGlobal, a technology-driven logistics leader redefining yard operations with real-time visibility, AI intelligence and a strong North American depot network. By pairing its physical infrastructure with the Aviro360 platform, ConGlobal delivers the clarity and control that turn storage, equipment management and yard flow into strategic advantages.
We hope this issue equips logistics leaders and supply chain strategists with the clarity needed to operate in a sector now defined by automation, visibility, and intelligent infrastructure.
