The puzzling phrase is as follows:
“BOCA RATON, FL – 03/09/09 – AutoInfo, Inc. (OTCBB: AUTO), a non-asset based third party logistics service provider, today announced the completion of a $30 million credit facility with Regions Bank secured primarily by accounts receivable.”

Non Asset-based Logistics Providers

This 3PL performs duties such as quoting, booking, routing, and auditing, but doesn’t need to own warehousing facilities, vehicles, aircraft, or any other transportation assets. This type of 3PL may possess only desks, computers, and freight industry expertise.

To be useful, this type of provider must show its customers a benefit in financial and operational terms by leveraging exceptional expertise and ability in the areas of operations, negotiations, and customer service in a way that complements its customers’ preexisting physical assets.
