Built at the intersection of procurement, operations and execution.
B45° was created around a simple observation: transportation problems are rarely solved by simply adding another carrier.
The company comes first. The operating problem comes before the pitch.
B45° combines institutional procurement discipline, commercial business development, project governance and hands-on 3PL operating experience with the physical transportation capability of an established carrier partner.
The objective is to define the requirement, establish controls, align capacity and build repeatable commercial relationships—not chase transactional loads.
B45° designs and manages the transportation relationship. MICA provides the operating capability behind it.
