Customer Testimonials
“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.”
“Keller Logistics is a valued partner that has been responsive and reliable in helping Menards deliver our product to our stores. There have been many times through the years that we have worked together to supplement our own fleet trucks to speed up our delivery times to stores. They work with us to address any concerns we have and provide top notch service. Whether it is short-term dedicated capacity, or taking on specific stores for us, the Keller team is always great to work with and has proven to be a very flexible partner in helping Menards achieve our goals.”
“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.”
