STG Announces Acquisition of CLI to Pioneer AI-Agentic Platform for LTL and Last Mile Carriers
Carrier Logistics Inc. (CLI) is entering an exciting new chapter with its recent acquisition by STG, (not related to STG Logistics) a move that significantly strengthens CLI’s ability to innovate and lead in the transportation technology space. Backed by STG’s investment and deep expertise in software and data, CLI is accelerating its vision to deliver an AI-first platform purpose-built for the evolving needs of LTL and multi-stop carriers. This partnership reinforces CLI’s long-standing commitment to its customers—while bringing new resources, expanded R&D, and a faster path to delivering next-generation capabilities.
At the core of this evolution is a focus on embedding advanced, agentic AI directly into CLI’s platform to automate and optimize terminal operations. From autonomous dispatch and real-time routing to predictive dock optimization and intelligent exception handling, these innovations are designed to improve efficiency, reduce manual processes, and enhance decision-making across the network. Importantly, while the technology is advancing rapidly, CLI’s mission remains unchanged: to provide best-in-class solutions that help carriers operate more efficiently and competitively in a high-velocity environment.
For customers and partners, it’s business as usual—only better. CLI’s team, leadership, and support structure remain fully intact, ensuring continuity in service and relationships. What’s new is the scale of opportunity: increased investment, accelerated product development, and a shared commitment from both CLI and STG to push the boundaries of what’s possible in freight management technology. The result is a stronger, more innovative CLI—well-positioned to deliver meaningful value today and into the future.
