Seahorse Express
Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Houston, Seahorse Express is a US cross-border logistics provider focused on complex over-dimensional freight. The firm moves cargo requiring dismantling, rigging, and specialized route planning through a network that covers the United States and Canada. Seahorse Express concentrates its deployment on heavy-haul truckload (FTL/PTL), international project cargo, and port drayage, supported by ancillary services such as warehousing, crating, and machinery dismantling. Confirmed capabilities include oversized and overweight transport, breakbulk coordination, and automobile shipping. The firm’s operational footprint extends from its Houston headquarters to satellite locations in Las Vegas, Boston, Los Angeles, New York, and other US cities, with an international spoke in Odense, Denmark. The firm operates under US DOT authority (MC-1574112 | DOT 4117547) and holds full cargo insurance. Seahorse Express presents its model as a managed transportation provider leveraging a large, vetted carrier network rather than running a captive fleet. Service coverage spans all 48 contiguous states and Canada, with an emphasis on routing machinery between ports and inland industrial sites. Seahorse Express is structured as a transport management company, not an asset-heavy fleet operator — a model that shifts the balance-sheet risk to its network of subcontracting truckers while keeping internal headcount focused on brokerage, permitting, and project management. This brokerage posture allows adjustable capacity for projects ranging from local overweight moves to cross-border dismantle-and-reassemble machinery shipments.

Frequently asked questions
What type of freight does Seahorse Express specialize in moving?
The firm focuses on oversized, overweight, and out-of-gauge cargo — the kind that requires specialized permitting, route surveys, and often dismantling and reassembly. This includes heavy machinery, breakbulk shipments, and container drayage moving between ports and inland destinations. Standard full and partial truckload services round out the offering.
Does Seahorse Express own its own truck fleet?
Seahorse Express operates as a transportation management and brokerage firm. It maintains a network of vetted trucking partners rather than a captive fleet of company-owned trucks. This asset-light model is designed to scale capacity up or down depending on project complexity and volume.
What is the firm’s geographic coverage?
The firm quotes service across the United States and Canada, managed from a headquarters in Houston, Texas. It lists additional office presences in multiple US cities — including Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, and Miami Beach — and an international location in Odense, Denmark, which likely supports project-cargo coordination.
What are Seahorse Express’s operating authority and insurance posture?
It operates under US Department of Transportation motor carrier authority MC-1574112 and DOT number 4117547. The firm emphasizes that it is 100% insured on cargo moves, which is a critical qualifier for industrial shippers moving high-value machinery.
Does Seahorse Express handle international freight?
Yes. The firm describes itself as having experience in both domestic and international transport. Its project-cargo focus — breakbulk, dismantling, and heavy machinery — is often tied to cross-border or port-to-inland moves, and its Odense, Denmark office suggests a capability set geared toward transatlantic or European project coordination.
