We could talk about shipping all day.

Especially about what King can do for you.

The best thing to come out of the ‘80s.

(Besides the hair, of course.)

Over 20 years ago, our founder Mike Patterson saw a need in the transportation industry– and he decided to fill it.

So in 1989, he established King Solutions as a values-based organization committed to a customer-focused approach. Since then, King has become a leading provider of international freight transportation, retail project management, global logistics, mail consolidation, fulfillment, warehousing and more. Whether we’re managing an LTL or FTL, every facet of our business optimizes our powerful network of shipping resources, information services, and the knowledge of our talented employees. To this day, we still believe in the ideas our company was built on. One thing that hasn’t changed since 1989.

We believe in making a difference.

Which is why we do things differently.

FACT CHECK // 1: WHEN KING WAS FOUNDED 20 YEARS AGO, UNLEADED GAS WAS $1.12 A GALLON.

We believe that the best way from point A to point B is sometimes starting at point C. And that an order in a warehouse is every bit as important as a shipment on a truck. We believe that no two cardboard boxes are alike.

And whether they contain life-saving medical devices or life-sized toys, they deserve the same attention to detail.

We believe that the phrase “handle with care” can just as easily be applied to customer relationships. And that offering customized programs depends as much on modern technology as good old-fashioned creativity.

We believe that one solution does not fit all. We don’t even believe that one solution fits most. So we’ll work until we find the one solution that fits your specific needs.

Whether we’re shipping freight, managing projects or fulfilling orders, this is what we believe.

Because if we didn’t, we wouldn’t be King.

So, what exactly do we do?

(Bear with us as our inner shipping fanatic comes out.)

What we do isn’t different. It’s how we do it that makes us King.

Our approach to transportation extends beyond just packing boxes and putting them on a truck. It’s a commitment to offering the kind of capabilities and creative solutions that you won’t find anywhere else.

GLOBAL FREIGHT Nationally. Internationally. Wherever you’re going, we’ll get you there.

Our global transportation offerings include ground, ocean and air freight transportation services. And we include GPS units at the pallet level, too. So wherever you are, you know where your shipment is.

LOGISTICS & FULFILLMENT We fulfill orders. All while we’re exceeding expectations.

Our services don’t stop at shipping. We’ll help you with fulfillment, warehousing, project management and more. We’ll find out what you need. Then we’ll find the answer.

CUSTOMIZED CARE You can’t spell “happy customer” without “custom.”

We follow a detailed approach that starts with onboarding every client, and carries through from pre-start through post-launch. The result? Customized solutions that fit your requests.

Fulfillment We offer customers choices, not just when it comes to shipping services, but when it comes to picking and packing their orders too.

Depending on the needs and scale of the program, our manual and automated fulfillment solutions offer businesses a competitive advantage. Our team of experts consults with clients to determine the best method to deliver speed, accuracy and flexibility. From picking, packing, kitting, assembly and return order management, to eco-friendly packaging supplies, quality control and shipping, we’ve got our clients covered from Point A to Point B and beyond.

Project Management You can’t trust just anyone with your transportation projects. We believe in a partnership-based approach that drives results.

Our process starts with developing a project blueprint and concludes with implementing a continuous improvement plan to ensure success. We commit to collaborating with our clients on several key success factors, including identifying unique customer needs, strategizing lead-time reduction within the supply chain, improving quality and time to market and more.

(We’d list them all here, but there are only so many hours in a day.)

We’re here when you need white glove treatment.

(Well, technically our gloves are more of a tannish-brown, but you get the picture.)

In the event of lost or damaged cargo, our claims management team is available to mitigate the freight claim. And when it comes to compliance, our team ensures that our carrier partners meet safety, insurance and regulatory standards by performing weekly reviews. Some call it going the extra mile. We call it just another day’s work.

The King Way. We love process. So much that we have one named after us.

It’s a funny thing. We come up with our most creative solutions when we follow a straightforward process. Our six-step “King Way” takes you from the first phone call to the final box unloaded, and is with you at every step in-between.

Post-launch Design Go live Pre-start This is where we determine your project scope, and review current and past handling experiences.

Think of it as our “getting to know you” phase.

We like to call this “where the magic happens.” Taking into account what you need, we craft a customized solution for your needs. We’ll write a project charter, establish service parameters, define responsibilities and develop a continuous improvement plan.

Development Now the idea comes to life. We set up the required tools and train account management–and just like that, it all starts to feel, in not-so-scientific-speak, “really real.”

Just try to contain our excitement.

Because this is where we launch your plan (after you sign off of course.) Yep, it’s happening.

Testing Testing. Trouble-shooting.

Potato, potahto. This is where we do a little QA team testing to make sure there are no, shall we say, “unexpected surprises.”

Just because the program is live and running doesn’t mean we stop looking for ways to improve it.

After launch, we install a continuous improvement plan. (What can we say, we’re overachievers like that.)
