Holtkamp Logistics

What Holtkamp Logistics does

Holtkamp Transportation Inc, doing business as Holtkamp Logistics, is a family-owned trucking and logistics operator headquartered at 2601 Summer Street, Burlington, Iowa. The company was launched around February 2014 and operates as an Iowa-domiciled private corporation with no disclosed institutional investment. Its core offerings are on-demand trucking, dedicated shipping, freight brokerage, and logistics consulting for shippers requiring freight transportation to and from any location across all 48 continental U.S. states. Coverage is delivered through a hybrid model combining a small owned fleet of late-model tractors (e.g., 2018 Kenworth T680 units with Cummins 450 HP engines) with a partnered-carrier network coordinated by an in-house freight broker.

Operations are anchored by a full in-house maintenance facility employing a shop foreman plus diesel, trailer, reefer, tire, and body shop specialists, supporting reported driver turnover of less than 35% and per-driver utilization of 2,800-3,000 miles per week. Revenue is generated on a transaction-fee basis for freight movements and through professional-services fees for logistics consulting. Go-to-market is direct: the company is reached by phone (319-754-5441), email ([email protected], [email protected]), contact forms on its WordPress-based site, and an active career page recruiting company drivers and dedicated carriers. No public revenue, headcount, fleet size, or financial filings are disclosed.

Leadership is concentrated, with ownership resident in 'Les' (the named author of company news posts) and Tina serving as Director of Operations since October 2017, credited with doubling sales and fleet in a single year. The freight brokerage function is run by Riley. The company has no parent, no subsidiaries, no investors, no disclosed partnerships beyond its carrier network, no patents or trademarks, and no certifications on file, and no formal revenue, funding, or M&A history.
