AVi Logistics was started in October of 2013 in Jacksonville, Florida.

In 1968, Air Van, Inc began operations in Atlanta, Georgia. Herb Matthews and Lex Benton were in the trucking industry and saw the need for final mile delivery of air freight in Atlanta and Jacksonville, Florida.  Air Cargo International (ACI) was a company with franchised locations to provide final mile delivery under their managed structure.  Air Van was formed as a franchisee of ACI to provide this service in both cities.

Air Van grew to provide final mile delivery service, white glove services, customs clearance service, container freight station, Import management service, transload service and more.  As we provided these services, clients would often ask for help arranging interstate transportation of these shipments.  This lead us to form logistics services for both LTL and FTL.

AVi Logistics is a comprised of a professional team with over 90 years combined logistics experience. Our goal is to provide competitive rates and superior customer service, through innovation, efficency and dedication. Because we understand the importance of time sensitive material, we are ready to give detailed attention to complete each transaction.
