About Cargo Largo
Recovery Management Corporation (RMC) started as Underwriters Sales Corporation in the 1950s. In 1986, Underwriters Sales Outlet opened at 35th and Noland Road, the current location of Cargo Largo.

The business has been in the Independence community for 65 years. Dee and Joyce Pack purchased the family business in 1991 and established RMC to serve the supply chain industry. Today, the business now has nearly 500 employees.

Cargo Largo’s retail outlet and e-commerce business provides unbeatable product value and variety, and an engaging, family-oriented environment for employees and customers. Cargo Largo also serves as a generous heart to friends and neighbors. We sell more than 800,000 distinct products annually through multiple sales channels. While the retail outlet has the highest local profile, other sales channels and other specialized services account for the majority of the business. RMC obtains products from across the supply chain through long-term partnerships with clients.
