Why KBX Logistics Was Recognized

KBX Logistics was founded with a unique perspective: supporting the logistics needs of one of the world’s largest private companies before bringing those same capabilities to external customers. That experience continues to shape how KBX approaches transportation and supply chain management today.

The recognition reflects several core strengths that define the KBX approach:

A Shipper-First Mindset

Unlike many 3PLs focused solely on making margin from transactions, KBX approaches logistics through the lens of the shipper. Every solution is designed to help customers reduce complexity, manage risk, and create long-term value across their transportation networks.

Multimodal Expertise

From truckload and intermodal transportation to project cargo, global forwarding, and managed freight solutions, KBX helps customers optimize transportation decisions across multiple modes and changing market conditions.

Technology That Improves Decision-Making

Through proprietary transportation management technology, real-time shipment visibility, carrier integrations, and actionable reporting, KBX enables customers to make faster and more informed supply chain decisions.

Operational Excellence

Reliable execution remains at the center of every shipment. KBX combines technology, transportation expertise, and disciplined processes to deliver consistent service outcomes while continuously identifying opportunities for improvement.

What This Recognition Means for Customers

Awards can be meaningful, but the greatest measure of success remains the value delivered to our customers every day.

For KBX customers, this recognition reinforces the confidence that they have partnered with an organization committed to:

  • Reducing your overall transportation costs
  • Improving your network efficiency
  • Increasing your supply chain visibility
  • Managing your transportation risk
  • Scaling alongside your evolving business needs
  • Delivering exceptional customer service to your team

In today’s supply chain environment, shippers need strategic partners capable of helping them navigate uncertainty and uncover opportunities for improvement across their entire network.

A Recognition Shared Across the Organization

This achievement reflects the work of KBX employees across transportation operations, customer service, technology, carrier management, engineering, and leadership teams.

As Richard Swan, President of KBX Logistics, explains:

“Being recognized as a Top 100 3PL by Inbound Logistics is an incredible honor and a testament to the trust our customers place in KBX every day. This achievement reflects our commitment to putting shippers first and creating meaningful value across the supply chain.

Most importantly, this recognition belongs to our team. Their dedication, expertise, and relentless pursuit of excellence are what make KBX stand out in the marketplace, and I am deeply grateful for their contributions.

Together, we will continue raising the bar for our partners as we grow as a trusted leader in freight management.”
