Fetch Freight proudly marks its fifth anniversary this September, reflecting on a dynamic journey from a small startup in 2020 to a leading freight brokerage with national reach. Throughout its growth, the company has remained connected to its Birmingham roots while shaping the future of logistics across North America, with a blend of hands-on expertise and technology-driven solutions.
Led by Founder and President Mitchell Lewis, Fetch Freight has steadily expanded its footprint, growing from just two employees to a vibrant team of over 30 seasoned logistics professionals. The company’s commitment to building locally while competing nationally has been a driving force behind its impressive 60% year-over-year shipment volume increase and sustained organic growth, even in a challenging market.
Fetch Freight’s rapid rise has garnered notable industry recognition, including being named among America’s fastest-growing private companies in 2025 by Inc. magazine. The company also earned a finalist spot in the Birmingham Business Journal’s Best Places to Work awards, reflecting its dedication to fostering a positive and engaging workplace culture, and Lewis was named CEO of the Year by the BBJ.
At the heart of Fetch Freight’s success is its innovative approach of combining AI-driven technology with personalized problem-solving, streamlining operations and delivering solutions that benefit customers and carriers. As a certified EPA SmartWay partner, Fetch also demonstrates its commitment to sustainability.
Beyond business, Fetch Freight invests in the Birmingham community through job creation, revitalizing a historic headquarters building, and providing valuable internship opportunities for local students. This strong community focus reinforces the company’s belief that growth and success are best when shared.
“Building Fetch Freight here in Birmingham has been an exciting challenge and a rewarding experience,” said Mitchell Lewis. “Our team brings determination and high standards of excellence to the table every day, and we’re proud to contribute to both our local economy and the broader logistics industry. As we celebrate this milestone, we remain focused on delivering innovative solutions and creating opportunities for our customers, carriers, and community.”
Looking ahead, Fetch Freight is poised to continue its upward trajectory, leveraging technology, talent, and a strong foundation to drive further growth and innovation in the years to come.
