Why Multimodal Logistics Matters More Than Ever

How Keller Freight Solutions’ Expanded Capabilities Create New Value for Shippers

In today’s rapidly changing freight environment, flexibility is everything. From capacity constraints to shifting market rates, to the pressure of meeting just-in-time delivery demands, logistics leaders are being asked to do more—with less room for error. That’s why Keller Freight Solutions’ enhanced focus on multimodal logistics is such a critical advancement for shippers looking to gain control, resilience, and efficiency across their supply chains.

Meeting Complexity with Flexibility

No two supply chains are alike. A food manufacturer may need temperature-controlled freight and tight delivery windows; an industrial shipper may need flatbed and drayage support to coordinate imports. By expanding its multimodal service lines—intermodal, drayage, expedite, flatbed, refrigerated (reefer), and less-than-truckload (LTL)—Keller Freight Solutions gives customers the ability to choose the right mode, or mix of modes, for every situation.

This flexibility translates into:

• Scalability: Shippers can adjust capacity as demand changes without adding multiple vendors.
• Cost Optimization: Intermodal and LTL modes can reduce total landed costs when balanced strategically.
• Network Resilience: When one mode is constrained, multimodal options keep freight moving.

The result is a logistics network that’s not just efficient—but intelligently adaptive.

Leadership That Understands the Customer Perspective

Guiding this next phase of growth is President Lars Cleland, a 30-year logistics veteran whose experience spans every mode and every corner of the industry. His leadership brings a strong operational foundation and a customer-first mindset to Keller Freight Solutions’ strategy.

“Our customers are facing more dynamic logistics challenges than ever before,” said Cleland. “Keller Freight Solutions is expanding multimodal capabilities to enhance flexibility and create new efficiencies—while maintaining the service and reliability our customers count on.”

Under Cleland’s leadership, the company is aligning its multimodal operations under one guiding principle: make complex supply chains simpler and smarter for customers.
