We are Aquila!

Introduction

Serving Southern California, home to the nation's largest container port complex, Aquila uses the convergence of integrated technology, unmatched talent, strong leadership, sustainability, transparency, and exceptional customer service to achieve our mission of making moving cargo a simple and safe experience for our customers and communities.

Our vision is to provide simple access to the goods of the world to our communities while removing costs, burdens, and complexities that affect the transportation industry.

Aquila creates an environment where drivers can focus on driving, and customers can focus on their business, all while minimizing costs. We can achieve this by eliminating manual effort, reducing headcount, and combining agility, speed, and accuracy. Reduced cost for Aquila creates opportunities to offer below-market rates for customers and reward our employees as we maximize profits.
The industry today suffers from unsuccessful execution and drayage miscues. This results in systemic inefficiencies, misplaced equipment, idle carriers, and undelivered freight. Shippers lose revenue, carriers lose income, and customer service plummets—at incredible costs across the supply chain.
Successful freight transportation requires synchronizing many moving parts. Aquila deploys a full suite of solutions allowing our organization to control, analyze, and make use of freight information in a touchless environment. This solves much of the industry inefficiencies by providing an integrated operations and accounting platform in a manner that management and customers can readily use to adjust to continuous changes:
- Providing precise real-time reporting of operational, statistical, and financial data
- Automating route planning and optimization
- Daily billing and settlement automation
- Real-time communication to changing conditions and response to customer needs
The safety of all people and property involved in freight movement is paramount to be considered successful. As part of a robust safety program, Aquila utilizes the latest technologies in collision mitigation technology, in-cab and side camera systems, remote diagnostics, and GPS tracking to aid in accident avoidance and driver training.
