Secure Capacity When You Need It Most

Whether you’re facing harvest surges or corporate initiatives to consolidate freight providers, you need a partner that delivers value. When demand spikes, spot market trucks are often unavailable, leaving your docks full and your customers waiting.

With Keller Freight as your partner carrier, you gain stability through our asset-based service. Because we own the trucks and employ the drivers, we protect your business from the volatile market, delivering reliable capacity to keep your goods moving consistently throughout the year.

Mitigate Contamination Risks

In agriscience and food production, equipment hygiene issues impact adherence to compliance requirements and expose your bottom line to potential financial losses.

We prioritize cleanliness to promote commodity acceptance at the receiving dock. We maintain stringent wash and inspection standards to protect product integrity, ensuring your feed, seed, or ingredients arrive exactly as they left.
