INDUSTRIES SERVED

With 40 years of experience in the freight transportation service industry,
Keller Trucking has expertise in a variety of business sectors. The primary
industries served include:


FOOD & BEVERAGE


FOOD & BEVERAGE

Food and beverage trucking is one of the most challenging niches within the
transportation industry, as there is little room for error. The slightest delay
can cause spoilage and huge losses. Failure to hit volume spikes leads to missed
opportunities for seasonal growers.

PAPER PRODUCTS


PAPER PRODUCTS

Keller Logistics understands the unique needs of the forest products industry,
such as safeguarding the product from dirt, moisture, damage, and defect. There
is no room for error when storing, packaging, and shipping delicate goods like
paper, which can become easily crushed, crumpled, or blemished – rendering it
defective and unfit for sale.
Learn More



CONSUMER PRODUCTS


CONSUMER PRODUCTS

Filling your supply chain requires considerable planning, scheduling efficiency,
and flexibility, which is why partnering with Keller Trucking is a wise move. We
pride ourselves on reliability and innovative problem-solving that gets products
moved from manufacturing centers and warehouses to retailers across the country.
Learn More



BUILDING MATERIALS


BUILDING MATERIALS

Transporting building supplies and raw materials requires ingenuity to get parts
to the construction site at precisely the right time for placement. It requires
imagination to determine how to pack a heavy, oversized load securely. A
successful transport requires white-glove service and extra care to make sure
nothing gets damaged during hauls.
Learn More



RETAIL


RETAIL

To be competitive in such a high stakes industry, retail goods manufacturers
need to be flexible and ready to scale up production and shipping as demand
increases. Let Keller Trucking supply your partners with products exactly when
they’re needed.
Learn More



AUTOMOTIVE


AUTOMOTIVE

Keller Trucking has serviced OEM and aftermarket automotive parts manufacturers
for decades. That doesn’t continue unless you provide dependable and consistent
levels of service. The automotive industry makes unique demands on its carriers
and not all can meet the challenge.

SEE WHY WE ARE FEATURED AS


ONE OF THE “WORLD’S GREATEST” TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES

“We’re really focused on giving back. We support the causes our employees are
passionate about, in the communities they live in. We’re winning awards for our
growth from Inc. 5000, our commitment to safety, and for being a great place to
work. That’s why we’re one of the world’s greatest.” – Bryan Keller. CEO of
Keller Logistics Group

43YEARS OF DRIVING FORWARD

52,368LOADS DELIVERED IN 2022


OUR FLEET ASSETS

Our 300 tractors and 1000 trailers are less than 30 months old on average, and
built with lightweight durability in mind.
Our newest trucking equipment, the Freightliner Cascadia, renowned for its
cleaner emissions and greater fuel economy. Our fleet contains the latest safety
technology, including two-way cameras and ELDs from Samsara, collision
mitigation on tractors, and disc brakes on tractors and trailers. Tracking
systems enhance the value of our hauling and trucking transportation services by
letting us know where our tractors and trailers are at all times.


OUR ADHERENCE TO INDUSTRY COMPLIANCE

Safety has always been a priority within Keller Logistics Group and affiliates.
Our safety motto here at Keller Trucking is “TIME MAY BE MONEY, BUT LIFE IS
PRICELESS” so you can count on Keller Trucking for industry-highest Compliance,
Safety, and Accountability scores. Our commercial trucking transportation
services comply with all CSA, FMCSA, and DOT rules, regulations, and
requirements. Additionally, we hold PIP, C-TPAT, FAST, and CSA certifications.


ON TIME IN FULL DELIVERY

As anyone that ships to Walmart or similar retailers knows, the aggressive 98%
On Time In Full (OTIF) requirement is tough to meet. 

Not only we understand OTIF requirements, we make them a priority and hold our
operations to high standards. It’s truly a team effort- our fleet managers,
planning team, drivers and maintenance team do everything possible to avoid
early/late arrival fines by proactively communicating and tracking deliveries. 
We strive to have the right systems, processes and people in place to ensure
deliveries are made On Time In Full. Internally, we follow up with weekly OTIF
percentage reporting to see where we can find areas for improvement. 

Our extensive experience with big box retailers’ compliance helps you avoid
costly fines and helps you maintain positive relationships with big box
customers. 

We are drop trailer approved at the following Walmart locations, allowing more
flex time for OTIF due to having a full day to drop without rescheduling loads: 

 * Coldwater, MI
 * Olney, IL
 * Gas City, IN
 * Seymour, IN
 * Cullman, AL
 * Hope Mills, NC
 * Woodland, PA
 * Bedford, PA
 * Pottsville, PA

It is important that you chose to do business with a logistics provider that
offers freight transportation, freight brokerage, warehousing and co-packing
services that are OTIF compliant, but also offers the best quality of service
and delivers on their promises. 

We are responsive, resourceful and reliable people in logistics. It’s not just a
tagline, we promise to do what it takes. We stand by that promise by offering a
customizable guarantee to help you meet the business goal most important to
you. 


COMMITMENT TO SAFETY

Safety has always been a priority within Keller Logistics Group and affiliates.
Years ago, one of our drivers summed up our safety culture best when he said,
“Time is money, but life is priceless.” That has been our safety mindset from
the start.

Illustrating our safety-first culture, CEO Bryan Keller has often been quoted as
saying to employees, “It’s your job to get home to your family.”

Our safety team takes their jobs very seriously and go well above and beyond
expectations.

OUR TECHNOLOGY

Safety is our top priority at Keller Trucking – and our advanced trucking
technology proves it. The Transportation Management System we use has directly
led to a 40% driver turnover reduction and an 8% reduction in empty miles. Our
fleet is equipped with the latest in safety technology including two-way cameras
and ELDs from Samsara, collision mitigation on tractors, and disc brakes on
tractors and trailers. SquareRigger Fleet Management Software provides a
preventative maintenance schedule keeping our well-maintained fleet running
smoothly.

SPOTTING & SHUTTLE SERVICES


SPOTTING & SHUTTLE SERVICES

Spotting and shuttle services are essential to inventory optimization and
warehouse efficiency. There are many moving parts in the average yard, as loads
arrive, get unloaded, and trailers park for later use. Without the right
strategy and partner, the yard could become a bottleneck in your day-to-day
operations, not to mention a waste of time and money.

We have been so pleased with our experience in dealing with you and the
communication efforts that Thomas Keller provides. We deal with a few other
larger trucking companies and find we’re left waiting on many occasions for
simple communication in the normal course of business. I can tell you this has
not been the case with you or Thomas Keller.
I’m sincere in saying you run a top notch operation and I hope we continue to
build our relationship with your company.

Wanted to take a minute to let you know how much I appreciate the Keller drivers
that come into the Dal-Tile plant in Fayette, Alabama. In my 33 years working in
shipping, I have never worked with a better group of drivers. They always know
what to do when they get to the plant and always have a great attitude. I really
enjoy working with this group of drivers. Hope I get to work with them for many
more. Especially James, Harold, and Harlan.
