ABOUT

Approved Freight Forwarders

Approved Freight Forwarders has been providing end-to-end freight and logistics solutions to Hawaii, Guam, Alaska, Puerto Rico, and international locations since 1991. What started serving Guam has grown into a trusted logistics partner across Jones Act markets.

Today, we operate with trucks, warehouses, and teams on the ground across seven locations, giving our customers stronger control and visibility throughout the shipping process. From our headquarters in City of Industry, California, to our terminals across Hawaii and Guam, we’re built to move freight efficiently.

We serve as one partner for ocean, air, trucking, warehousing, and consolidation—simplifying logistics and reducing the need to manage multiple vendors. With proactive communication from quote to final delivery, our team ensures every shipment stays on track.

Approved is part of The DeWitt Companies, a fourth-generation, family-owned network offering logistics, relocation, and transportation services worldwide.
