Forward Air Corporation Tech Stack
Expedited ground transportation and supply chain logistics across North America
Forward Air operates a diversified transportation network spanning expedited linehaul, LTL, drayage, pool distribution, and temperature-controlled logistics. The tech stack reveals a hybrid legacy-and-modern architecture: AS/400 and SAP backbone paired with Node.js/TypeScript microservices, PostgreSQL, and Azure—suggesting a controlled modernization of core logistics systems while building new customer-facing tooling. Hiring is heavily skewed toward logistics and operations (620 of 701 roles), with junior-level dominance (341 of 701), indicating aggressive operational scaling rather than technology platform expansion.
