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
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
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.
