Redwood Logistics is a Chicago-based 3PL/4PL whose RedwoodConnect integration platform connects shippers, carriers, and logistics systems. Carriers in Redwood's network receive EDI 204 motor carrier load tenders for truckload, LTL, intermodal, reefer, and flatbed freight, and exchange operational documents with Redwood through EDI, API, or managed file transfer.
Connecting via Redwood - Apply through Redwood's Become a Carrier contact form (redwoodlogistics.com/carriers-contact-us) and complete Redwood's carrier qualification process.
- Get access to the Redwood carrier portal (login.redwoodlogistics.com) and set lane and freight preferences with your Redwood contact.
- Choose an integration path: RedwoodConnect supports B2B/EDI integration, API management, and managed file transfer; smaller carriers can operate through the portal without a system integration.
- Map the load tender flow (inbound 204, tender response, status updates) to Redwood's specifications and validate it with Redwood's platform services team before live tenders.
Testing: Redwood does not publish a formal certification program. Integration validation is handled with Redwood's team: Redwood states its RedwoodConnect digital logistics playbooks get integrations about 80 percent of the way, and Redwood Platform Services handles solution design, implementation, onboarding, and support for the remainder, which includes verifying document flows before go-live.
Timeline: No published setup timeline. Carriers using the portal can start quickly after qualification; a system-to-system EDI or API integration runs through RedwoodConnect implementation and takes longer, driven by scoping and joint validation with Redwood Platform Services.
