Florida Expansion Kottke is expanding in Florida with a 33,000 SF cross-docking facility in Lake Alfred and an additional terminal in Wildwood, signaling a focus on regional distribution and warehouse-enabled services. This creates opportunities to propose integrated refrigerated cross-dock, warehousing, and drayage solutions for Southeast shippers seeking faster, temperature-controlled handling.

Cold Chain Strength The fleet focuses on reefer and dry freight with truckload and multi-stop capabilities, enabling reliable cold-chain transport for perishable goods across multiple markets. Target sectors include food and beverage, produce, and pharmaceuticals that require consistent temperature control and multi-stop efficiency.

Regional Reach With operations across the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, South/Southeast, and Southwest and dedicated West/East Coast service, Kottke can support multi-market distribution programs and lane-based partnerships for manufacturers with regional networks.

Growth & Leadership The hire of a Director of Sales in 2024 signals an explicit growth agenda and emphasis on formal sales processes. Engage the new sales leader to co-develop strategic accounts, tailored proposals, and territory plans aligned with capacity and service strengths.

Reliability Advantage Recognitions as a Best Fleets finalist and Safest Fleet, along with a long family-owned heritage since 1938, position Kottke as a low-risk, high-service partner for shippers prioritizing on-time delivery and safety in their transportation network.
