Logistics Leader Sunset Transportation Expands St. Louis Operations

New St. Louis Location Serves Freight Payment Customers, Reflection of 3PL’s Double-Digit Growth

ST. LOUIS, MO. — Sunset Transportation, Inc., a third party logistics (3PL) and freight payment provider, recently opened a new office near its St. Louis headquarters to streamline its financial services and accommodate continued company growth nationwide. The additional location will be focused on the national logistic firm’s Financial Services division, which processed over half million shipments in 2014, throughout the U.S. and serves the accounting needs of the company.

New Location Increases Service and Business Intelligence for Customers

“Our new Financial Services office will help Sunset streamline financial and freight payment services while also positioning our freight brokerage team for continued growth throughout the country,” said Mark Cammarata, chief financial officer, who received the St. Louis Business Journal’s CFO of the Year Award earlier in 2015. “As always, we are making changes to improve the service and savings for our customers, and we appreciate the loyalty and support of our clients, employees and industry partners as we expand.”

Sunset’s financial and freight audit team partners with companies to streamline their processes, manage carrier contracts and ensure accurate transportation spend. Through its freight audit, payment and reporting system, PayLOGIK®, the Sunset Financial staff also helps customers reduce overhead, eliminate costly invoicing errors and profit from detailed reporting analytics.

Sustained Company Growth

The new location is the latest example of the national 3PL’s continued expansion. Over the last several years—including 2015—Sunset’s growth has been fueled by a double-digit increase in sales and number of employees, even while the transportation industry experiences increased consolidation.

Sunset recently opened a new branch office in Bend, Oregon, expanded operations in Grand Haven, Michigan and is planning on expanding its reach into Nashville in 2016. The third party logistics provider was also named to the Inc. 500|5000 List of fastest-growing private companies for the fourth consecutive year.

The new St. Louis office for Sunset Financial Services is located just minutes from Sunset’s headquarters at 11325 Concord Village Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri 63123. Sunset’s team can be reached toll free at 800.849.6540. Customers are encouraged to continue using the same contact information and mailing address as prior to the expansion.
