All Seasons Express

What All Seasons Express does

All Seasons Express (ASE) is a family-owned, asset-based trucking and logistics operator incorporated in Michigan in 2011, headquartered at 5398 Market Street in Kalamazoo with 11–50 employees. The company was established to convert the seasonal transportation demand of founding parent Bert R Hybels Inc. into year-round Class A driver employment, and it now runs an integrated portfolio of dry van, refrigerated (reefer), and liftgate trucking; multi-pick/multi-stop truckload and LTL shipping; drop trailer programs; cross-docking; warehouse storage; and freight brokerage under the Seasonal Logistics division. ASE operates a 37-door, 36,000 sq ft cross-docking facility in Kalamazoo capable of handling up to 30 loads per day with peak-season surges approaching 10,000 multi-stop deliveries in two months, supported by a fleet of more than 125 InterLift-equipped trailers and an in-house maintenance shop.

Technology deployment centers on operational visibility rather than differentiated software: real-time temperature monitoring and satellite fleet tracking (Samsara), ThermoKing-equipped reefer units covering a 75°F to -20°F range, and Palfinger/InterLift liftgates with 4,400 lb capacity. The company monetizes through per-shipment transaction fees quoted via direct sales — primarily enterprise, mid-market, and SMB shippers in horticulture/bedding plants (its founding segment), retail and e-commerce, food and beverage, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and automotive — across the United States and Canada. Distribution is direct (own trucks and owner-operators) supplemented by the brokerage channel, with marketing driven by the company website, BBB accreditation, phone-based direct sales, and online driver recruitment portals.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• J.B. Hunt Transport Services: J.B. Hunt operates one of the largest U.S. truckload, dedicated, and intermodal fleets alongside a sizable freight brokerage (ICS). It overlaps ASE on truckload, brokerage, and dedicated capacity but serves a national customer base across multiple product lines, making it a much larger broad incumbent.
• Schneider National: Schneider runs a national truckload, intermodal, and logistics platform with in-house brokerage. ASE is directly comparable to Schneider's truckload and brokerage arms but operates at a fraction of the scale and on a more regional Midwest footprint.

Direct peers

• C.H. Robinson Worldwide: C.H. Robinson is the largest North American freight brokerage, arranging dry and refrigerated truckload for shippers. ASE's Seasonal Logistics brokerage division competes head-to-head with C.H. Robinson for shipper freight, though at a much smaller and more regional scale.
• Werner Enterprises: Werner operates dedicated truckload, one-way truckload, and a Werner Logistics brokerage covering refrigerated and dry freight. Its service mix mirrors ASE's asset-plus-brokerage model, though Werner is a publicly-traded national player.
• Marten Transport: Marten is a refrigerated and dry truckload carrier with brokerage and intermodal offerings. It directly parallels ASE's reefer-focused trucking operation and small-carrier brokerage model, serving similar food, pharma, and consumer goods shippers.
• Hub Group: Hub Group provides intermodal, truckload brokerage, and logistics services across North America. ASE's brokerage and multi-stop truckload service directly overlaps with Hub Group's truckload-brokered and drayage capabilities.
• ArcBest Corporation: ArcBest operates the ABF Freight LTL network alongside asset-based truckload and a logistics/3PL segment that arranges truckload and intermodal capacity. ASE's LTL/TL plus brokerage footprint closely mirrors ArcBest's multi-mode logistics offering.
• KLLM Transport Services: KLLM is a temperature-controlled truckload carrier focused on perishable and frozen freight. Its reefer-only specialization matches ASE's refrigerated transport line, competing for the same food, produce, and pharmaceutical shippers in the Midwest and nationwide.
• Cowan Systems: Cowan Systems is a regional asset-based truckload and logistics provider with brokerage, dedicated, and warehousing services across the Eastern U.S. Like ASE, it serves mid-market shippers requiring integrated capacity, warehousing, and freight management on a sub-national footprint.

Others

• Ryder System: Ryder provides dedicated truckload, fleet leasing and maintenance, and supply chain solutions including warehousing. Its dedicated transportation and Ryder Fleet Management offerings serve as enterprise-scale analogues to ASE's asset-based trucking plus in-house maintenance model.
