About Abham Freight
A real person picks up the phone.
Abham Freight is a Canadian freight forwarder and a licensed, bonded NVOCC in the United States. We focus on full-container exports, and we answer our own phones.
From the founder
Abad Rahman
After years in IT at large banks, I wanted out of the job loop and into building something of my own. Logistics gave me that, and a sense of purpose: without it, the world stops moving. Even the wrap on my sandwich or the coating in a disposable cup has its own journey around the world, and I wanted a hand in moving it.

The tagline
“Your freight guy’s freight guy.”
It’s a little tongue-in-cheek. It means we aim to be the partner people in freight would trust with their own cargo: on time, honest about problems, and easy to reach.
