Shipium and Tusk Partner to Bring the Benefits of Alternative Carrier Networks to Modern Shippers
The partnership makes Tusk’s network and Operations Platform immediately available to Shipium customers
SEATTLE, Feb 26, 2025 — Shipium, the leading shipping platform for modern shippers, today announced a partnership with Tusk Logistics, a nationwide network of premier alternative parcel carriers,
Shipium provides an end-to-end shipping platform for enterprise shippers, servicing all industries from brands and retailers to 3PLs, manufacturers, and more. Customers turn to Shipium when customer focus and optimization within their supply chain becomes a top business priority. Because shipping is both the highest operating expense on most balance sheets while also a competitive lever for growth, Shipium has proven to be the modern technology necessary for businesses to be profitable, scale and compete.
Tusk provides a network of alternative carriers for shippers who want to simplify operations and diversify performance. The network is trusted by leading brands and 3PLs to consistently provide faster, more reliable service at cheaper costs. Customers value the simplification of tracking and $100 of shipping insurance that is normalized and managed by Tusk across their alternative network.
Companies who leverage Shipium and Tusk together gain access to a modern multi-carrier strategy that delivers incredible results. Tusk is available as a carrier on Shipium’s pre-integrated carrier network, which allows Shipium customers to immediately turn on Tusk’s service with their contracted rates.
Shipium customers also gain access to Tusk’s Operations Platform, launched in early 2025. This industry-first platform gives shippers proactive control and real-time visibility across Tusk’s network of top alternative carriers—helping them spot issues early, resolve delivery risks before they impact customers, and fully capitalize on the flexibility and cost savings alternative carriers offer.
“Shipium is a leader in our space, and a company who consistently does right by its customers and partners,” said Ben Emmrich, Co-founder and CEO of Tusk. “You should judge Tusk by our partners and we're thankful to be in Shipium's company.”
“The innovations Tusk is bringing to logistics has helped push the industry forward,” said Jason Murray, Co-founder and CEO of Shipium. “By offering them on our pre-integrated network, customers get access to an alternative network of carriers that will help improve costs and customer experience.”
