Testimonials

We called Keller in the afternoon and needed a load moved the next morning as part of a round trip. It was just great service. The driver was punctual, courteous and professional. They got the round trip done and you can’t ask for anymore more than that on such a short notice. We will definitely use Keller Trucking again when the next need arises.

My career with Keller began right after college. At that time I was working in Sales for Keller Freight Solutions – a fast-paced and dynamic position where I learned all about the transportation industry. After a time in Sales, I saw an opportunity in the scope of my degree – Human Resources. As I moved into our corporate company, Keller Logistics Group, I had the support of my manager and that continues today. With the opportunity for advancement, I have recently moved from HR Coordinator to my new role as HRIS and Benefits Administrator gaining a holistic view of the HR functions. There are many stories similar to mine where employees have moved throughout Keller into new roles, a unique characteristic of any company.

Keller Logistics Group HRIS and Benefits Administrator

I have been with Keller Trucking for over 10 years, it has been quite a ride. We have more than doubled in size since I started and have no intentions of that growth slowing down in the future. I began as an intern and have grown through 4 different positions in those 10+ years to now President of our Trucking Division. With this significant growth and high level of focus on developing our people from the top down the career advancement opportunities at Keller are endless.

Jonathan Wolfrum

Keller Trucking President

I started with Keller through their Logistics Development Program in 2014, providing me a great opportunity to expand my knowledge base and see what each area of logistics is really all about. Since then, I’ve been given countless opportunities to continue to learn and grow in our business and work my way up to my current role as Director of Operations. I’ve had great leadership support throughout my career here and am thankful for all the amazing people I’ve met and worked with along the way. It’s an exciting time in Warehousing and I can’t wait to see what the future brings!

Heather May

Keller Warehousing & Co-Packing Director of Operations

In creating Operation K.A.V.I.C., we are so touched to hear the stories of how we helped several of our local veterans who were experiencing a financial crisis; my heart goes out to them. I am proud that we at Keller have put together a fund to help them when in need.

Bryan Keller

Keller Logistics Group CEO

The Defiance County Veterans Office is so very thankful for this fund, it has provided such a relief and goodwill in the veteran community.

Tanya Brunner

Defiance County Veterans Services Manager

Keller Warehousing and Co-Packing has demonstrated an outstanding job with Niagara! They’ve completed construction on a warehouse with less-than-ideal conditions (no dock loading equipment, no office, etc.). This certainly presents great challenges which requires a high-caliber team to overcome. We do not take Keller for granted and greatly appreciate the support provided to Niagara to ensure our operational excellence! They work very hard to make sure all of our needs are met every day, and promptly and effectively handle every request I’ve sent, exceeding expectations in many areas. The hard work and dedication doesn’t go unnoticed and I greatly appreciate having a supplier partner of this caliber to work with.

Shane Rupe

Niagara Bottling Regional Manager

TD Beck Trucking has continued to enjoy a great long standing working relationship with Keller Freight. Keller’s carrier services and quick response team always help our Keller loads go smoothly, even when unforeseen issues arise. When I call Keller, I know I’m going to speak with someone who cares and wants to help get the job done!

Nick Coats

Logistics Manager, TD Beck Trucking, LLC

Keller Logistics and Whitacre Logistics have been doing business for a long time. The people at Keller are very easy to work with and can adapt to any situation that arises without any problem. I would say that Keller is definitely one of the best we work with on a daily basis.

Dellriver Services LLC has worked with Keller Freight Solutions for approximately 5+ years. We appreciate the consistency of freight over the years. Working with Keller Freight Solutions has grown our company’s freight volume. Communication is great. The brokers are very personable, flexible and willing to accommodate our drivers.

Keller has always been able to provide a solution to our various transportation needs. They supply us with drop trailers and handle our milk runs, short hauls, regional hauls, long hauls and inter modal. When there is an issue, Keller communicates. When there is a problem, Keller takes care of it.

Matt Badenhop

I appreciate the excellent customer service I always receive and especially yesterday. With very short notice you picked up my salt load in Chicago and helped me out with this very time sensitive product. I also commend your driver who helped me unload in very extreme weather conditions. Please feel free to use me as a reference for any potential business you may have. Again I very much appreciate it.

Scott Sullivan

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.

Debra Maddox

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.

Shawn Miller

Transportation Asst. Manager, Menards

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.

Steve Lindsey

Peak Logistics, LLC

You have been a valued incumbent with an excellent performance record. We are expecting to grow our business and have evaluated Keller’s diverse transportation capabilities which include:

  1. Company owned equipment utilized where appropriate.
  2. 3rd Party Brokerage operation also used where appropriate.Warehousing, Storage, and Distribution also utilized when needed.
  3. Excellent on time pickup and delivery record.
  4. Personnel always courteous and sensitive to our specific needs.

I look forward to maintaining and growing our relationship.

Brian Weber

Keller drivers are always courteous and patient. They always have the needed information and we never have to worry about them dropping rejectable trailers.

Amy Smiley

Pepperidge Farm Distribution Technician Willard, OH

When Keller contacted us regarding co-packing, we had just started to look for a partner. They have an outstanding facility in Napoleon, OH and met our initial needs and continue to meet our needs on a regular basis.
When we need orders moved up for production, they continue to come through. We look forward in continuing to work and grow with Keller Packaging.

Russ Beadle

Nestle Waters Co-Manufacturing Manager

Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate y’alls involvement with Office Depot so far. As to my knowledge, y’all are running 100% service with us which is something to be noted.

Michael Bardwell

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your partnership and congratulate you on a business well-run. For fifteen plus years, Keller Logistics has worked with Silgan providing warehousing, short- and long-term storage solutions, as well as seasonal over-flow and product inspections and rework. You have quite often been Silgan, Napoleon’s last set of eyes before shipping our customer loads.

You have been an innovative and responsive partner. Your expertise increased our warehouse space utilization from what we had observed from a prior vendor, and you continue to meet our transportation “special needs.” Your operational and industrial engineering expertise has allowed you to drive out costs, which has certainly been a “win-win” for our organizations.

Another example of our “win-win” partnership has been Keller Logistics’ “heavy haul capability” which allows your fleet to haul Silgan’s cut steel plate to our other operating divisions in other states. Your fleet of light-weight tractors and trailers are all late-model, as are your 53X102 plate trailers. Keller can routinely haul 49,000# payloads, and in a day-cab environment, 52,000# is possible!

Keller is able to communicate effectively and responds quickly to short-notice shipments. While emergency needs are not expected, things happen on the production side of the business that require a quick response, and Keller gets the job done.

In my opinion, our relationship has been partnership at its best. I look forward to your continued success and expansion, and once again want to express my appreciation for your expertise, service and commitment to excellence.

We have used Keller for many years to help us with our Warehousing needs. We currently utilize their services in both Texas and Ohio where they have been an instrumental partner in helping JM to achieve success with our Distribution network. They have always been able to come up with significant additional space to fulfil our last-minute requests. We have found Keller to be competitive in the Industry and it is our intent to continue partnering with Keller.

Randy Brooks

Johns Manville

When we ran into a problem with a shortage of warehouse space due to construction, Keller stepped up and was there to assist us.

Their responsiveness to our need was impressive. Within a couple weeks, Keller was able to transport and create enough space that our production was able to continue running efficiently.
What stood out the most to me was the smooth transition. And then after the startup, the Keller communication was great as they continually kept us updated in a very timely fashion.

Thanks Keller for helping us during this important time for us.

We have been so pleased with our experience in dealing with you and the communication efforts that Thomas Keller provides.

I can tell you this has not been the case with you or Thomas Keller.

Since my time at Defiance Metal Products, I have worked with several of the entities at Keller Logistics, including Keller Warehouse, Keller Trucking, and Keller Courier and Delivery.

We just shipped 2,500 pallets to Wal-Mart and from what we can see, we delivered 99.5% on time! This is an absolutely incredible performance and we couldn’t have done it without Keller Warehousing & Co-Packing employees making the trees first, and then of course working through all of the trucks last week. It’s always a pleasure to work with all of you and it’s no accident that good people create success like this.

Ryan Miller

Spangler Candy Company Director-Supply Chain Bryan, OH

We needed temporary warehousing space. Our (Campbell Soup) decision to partner with Keller was based on a long-standing relationship and good performance history. They helped us identify and execute a location in Perrysburg, Ohio for short-term storage near our plant locations for both finished goods and raw materials during busy seasons. They did a great job finding the location and were very helpful by providing communication throughout the process.

Sean Ross

Cambell Soup Company

Keller Warehousing and Co-Packing has demonstrated an outstanding job with Niagara! They’ve juggled normal operations (shipping, receiving, inventory control) as well as supporting construction on a warehouse with less-than-ideal conditions (no dock loading equipment, no office, etc.). This certainly presents great challenges which require a high caliber team to overcome. We do not take Keller for granted and greatly appreciate the support provided to Niagara to ensure operational excellence! They work very hard to ensure all our needs are met every day, and promptly and effectively handle every request I’ve sent, exceeding expectations in many areas. The hard work and dedication don’t go unnoticed, and I greatly appreciate having a supplier partner of this caliber to work with.

Shane Rupe

I was referred to Keller by a few folks in the industry as I needed our beverage products repacked. The turnaround time was extremely fast, and all employees were responsive and communicative, creating an efficient and seamless experience. I recommend anyone that needs co-packing, repacking, and unpacking to check out Keller.

Ryan Laverty

VIDE Beverages Co-Founder & CEO

I needed to repack cans into cartons- Keller was the only partner who could accommodate my variety 4 pack request. They offered to repack in multi sku 4 & 12 packs at an affordable rate and stored the finished goods for me. Keller is the only option I know of who can accommodate this request, being this was the first time this was ever done in the industry. Keller’s dedicated account manager made the process easy and top-notch. I would recommend them to any business that needs a 3PL and/or repacking.

Kyle Kent

Vodkyte Corporation

I need a carrier that is reliable to deliver my product. Keller provides professional drivers that carry themselves and my product in a professional manner to my customers. My customers are demanding and can change loads up without a lot of notice. Ryan and his team always adjust and get the job done- they never tell me they can’t do it. Even though I am not the biggest customer they have, they treat me like I am. I am very pleased with the job Ryan and his team have done, I enjoy working with him and I look forward to continuing to work with them. I recommend Keller to businesses that need a solution to their shipping needs.

Robert Baxter

H&N Logistics

I have worked with Keller for the past two years, as they are a key transportation player for our Ohio-based operations. They are primarily responsible for the shuttling of product from our manufacturing facilities to our primary distribution points. Timing and consistency are very important in our operation as our production facilities can quickly fill up and without consistent service, it does not take long until we would have to shut down production due to a lack of space to store our product. Keller will also run over the road for us in time-critical transfers several states away. I feel that Keller is a company that is genuinely interested in creating partnerships and doing what is right for the customer. They have been very responsive in meeting our needs both in standard service as well as any last-minute needs we have had. It is extremely valuable to have partners in the industry that not only do a great job meeting our needs but work synergistically with our team to help improve processes or to just bounce ideas back and forth regarding the industry. Keller is a quality organization that I would recommend to any company that is looking for carriers they can partner with for the long haul and be confident that they will get the job done.

Brian Firsick

American Plastics Director of Logistics

We needed to get 5 loads from Indiana to our plant in Ohio. Keller picked up all 5 loads between the required time of 5 AM to 8 AM on a Saturday morning and took the loads directly to the plant to avoid a machine shutdown. We were able to maintain our planned production thru the weekend with these critical loads. Response time and communication throughout the process was fantastic- Keller lived up to their core values of being responsive, resourceful, and reliable and saved the day for us! I would recommend Keller to businesses that need White Glove service when it comes to logistics!

Tabitha Blackburn

Campbell Soup Company Sr. Material Planner

Keller provides a wide range of services to Johns Manville including intra-plant and inter-plant shuttling, warehousing, and truckload shipping to a wide range of customers, and has done so for more years than I care to recall. Canvassing multiple internal touch points recently resulted in not a single complaint- quite a feat for anyone in these challenging times. Our relationship reflects a mutual partnership built on all the positive experiences with Keller over the passing years; such that we are pleased to look forward to continuing those businesses into 2022 and beyond. Recognize that Keller has earned our continuing business with their responsiveness, creativity, flexibility, and a willingness to work through all challenges together. Everyone should be so good to work with.
