From Operations Floor to Partner: The Real Path to Owning a Logistics Business

Most logistics companies say they do custom solutions. Very few actually build the infrastructure to back it up.In this episode of Your Bestie in Freight, I sit down with Kalen Block — VP and Partner at Yellowstone Logistics, a custom distribution company serving Fortune 500 manufacturers, technology firms, and heavy industry shippers across the U.S. since 2007.We talk about what custom distribution actually means in the real world, how Yellowstone built their own proprietary technology to stay ahead, where companies consistently lose money without realizing it, and how AI is really — and I mean really — impacting distribution operations today.Kalen also shares the journey from operations supervisor all the way to owning part of the business. This one is packed.🎙️ Subscribe to Your Bestie in Freight for real conversations with the people actually running logistics.📌 Connect with Kalen: www.yellowstonelogistics.com📌 Connect with Lida: www.freightfreedom.co#FreightPodcast #YourBestieInFreight #FreightFreedom #Logistics #Distribution #SupplyChain #3PL #LogisticsBusiness #Freight #Trucking #Transportation #FreightBroker #FreightIndustry #LogisticsLife #TruckingLife #SupplyChainManagement #FreightManagement #Warehousing #FreightTech #LogisticsTech #AIinLogistics #FreightAI #B2BLogistics #BrokerLife #OwnerOperator #Entrepreneur #WomenInBusiness #WomenInLogistics #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #PodcastLife #BusinessGrowth #SmallBusiness #B2B #AI #DigitalTransformation #BusinessTips #CustomDistribution #Fortune500 #DistributionLogistics #FreightDistribution #LogisticsPartner #DistributionNetwork #FreightNetwork #LTL #FTL #Intermodal #LastMileDelivery #WarehouseManagement #DistributionCenter #LogisticsManagement #FreightStrategy #SupplyChainStrategy #FreightOperations #LogisticsOperations #CargoFreight #FreightSolutions #LogisticsNews #FreightNews #SupplyChainNewsDone For You LinkdeIN Prospecting & Email Automation System-https://www.logisticswithlida.com/dfnlinkdeinprospecting/automationsystemFreight Broker Elite Mentorship-https://www.logisticswithlida.com/freightbrokerelite/paymentplanFREE Resources for You✨FREE Ebook "How to make 6 figures with 5 steps as a freight broker” https://www.logisticswithlida.com/make6figuresasafba✨Run your email marketing and land TOP shippers, all in one place.
