Minneapolis Logistics Solutions | LTL Freight & Warehousing

We ship in boxes.

We don’t think in them.

–

35 years ago, our founders, Mike Patterson and Meyer Bolnick, discovered a gap in the Minneapolis freight market and seized the opportunity. Today, with our expert load planning optimization, King moves consolidated truckloads and LTL freight lanes by the hundreds each week to every major US market. To ensure better service, less handling and quicker time to market for your company, we never stop searching for new, more efficient ways to move shipments of all shapes and sizes.

On the road to reducing trucks on the road. As a certified SmartWay Transport partner since 2010, we believe sustainability is just as important as efficiency.
