Our Heritage & Roots
Rooted in the American DreamAs a direct descendant of Reverend John Lothropp—the pioneering 17th-century New England leader who stood for religious liberty, individual independence, and early self-governance—Preston carries forward a profound legacy. That historic defense of personal freedom helped shape the foundation of the American dream. At Lathrop Services, we channel that centuries-old grit and independence into modern industrial logistics.

Our Story
While traveling across the country, we noticed thousands of empty industrial properties sitting idle while fleets struggled with inefficiencies and wasted miles. One conversation turned into a mission: build a better way.
That mission became Lathrop Services — a B2B SaaS platform that unifies corridor staging, multimodal transit, and intelligent dispatch to eliminate revenue waste and streamline logistics operations.
Our Job Doesn’t Stop at Launch — It Only Begins
We believe technology is just the beginning. We are currently in negotiations for a mobile command unit that will put real boots on the ground. We want to meet property owners, brokers, fleet operators, and partners in person, listen to your challenges, build lasting relationships, and grow our ecosystem together.
Your input and feedback are invaluable — they’re what make this community feel like family.
To eliminate hidden revenue waste in industrial real estate and logistics by creating a unified, intelligent ecosystem that instantly connects property owners with fleets and operators — while building genuine, long-term partnerships.
We’ve lived the problems firsthand — empty yards, wasted miles, complex intermodal handoffs. Lathrop Services was created to solve them with practical technology and genuine human partnership.
This isn’t just software. It’s a family-built solution created by people who understand the industry because they’ve lived it.We invite you to join us — not just as users, but as partners — in building a more efficient, profitable, and connected logistics future.
