Kiswani National

What Kiswani National does

Kiswani National is an independent, privately-held trucking company headquartered in South Holland, Illinois that provides freight transportation, intermodal, and logistics services primarily across the Midwest United States. The company operates a network of five Illinois terminals (South Holland as the main terminal, plus Mokena, Wilmington, Joliet, and Crete) and serves freight shippers requiring intermodal and general freight movement using Van, Flatbed, Reefer, and specialized trailer equipment. Customer acquisition is conducted through a phone-based quoting line (708-339-9700) and an online Quick Quote intake form, targeting a generic segment of freight shippers without disclosed industry vertical concentration. The business is privately held with no parent company, no disclosed institutional investment, and no funding events in the source data.

The company's service portfolio includes a core general freight operation, a dedicated Intermodal Division hiring company drivers with specific experience requirements (6 months intermodal, 1 year driving), and an Owner Operator Program offering up to 75% of load revenue (up to 85% for operators supplying their own trailer). Backward integration is achieved through wholly-owned subsidiaries: Kiswani Freight for specialized freight services, Kiswani Repair for truck and trailer maintenance, and Kiswani Law for legal services, capturing internal value across the operating chain. Regulatory standing is established via Motor Carrier number MC# 678756 and DUNS 83-160-2136.

The revenue model is transaction-based, with pricing determined per shipment based on origin, destination, commodity, weight, freight class, and equipment requirements. The asset-light owner operator model allows the company to scale capacity through independent contractors rather than capital-intensive fleet ownership, while the in-house maintenance and legal subsidiaries reduce external dependency costs. No AI, software platform, or proprietary technology stack is disclosed; the technology surface is limited to a WordPress marketing site and a third-party driver application portal. Geographic scope is explicitly regional (Midwest US) with no global footprint claimed.

Direct peers

• Hirschbach Motor Lines: Refrigerated and dedicated TL carrier with similar equipment diversity. Comparable regional-to-national footprint and asset-light growth via owner operators.
• CRST International: Asset-light TL carrier heavily reliant on owner operators with refrigerated and flatbed services. The owner-operator-heavy business model closely mirrors Kiswani's recruitment economics.
• Werner Enterprises: Mid-to-large TL carrier offering Van, Flatbed, Reefer, and intermodal services with significant owner-operator capacity. Comparable equipment mix and asset-light growth model align directly with Kiswani's service portfolio.
• Heartland Express: Regional and long-haul TL carrier primarily running dry van with a contract driver base. Closely comparable small-to-mid independent carrier profile targeting similar freight shipper segments.
• U.S. Xpress Enterprises: TL and intermodal carrier with Van and refrigerated capacity. Directly comparable equipment diversity and intermodal exposure to Kiswani's service mix.

Broad incumbents

• Hub Group: Intermodal-focused 3PL and trucking operator with national drayage and logistics solutions. Directly comparable intermodal drayage business serving rail customers in the Midwest.
• Schneider National: Largest publicly traded intermodal and TL carrier in North America with broad Van, Intermodal, Logistics, and Bulk services. Broader portfolio and scale dwarf Kiswani but intermodal specialization overlaps directly.
• Landstar System: Asset-light freight network model reliant on independent owner operators and freight agents. Closely analogous non-asset-based operator model where capacity is sourced from third parties, similar to Kiswani's owner-operator program.
• J.B. Hunt Transport Services: Largest U.S. intermodal container operator and major TL carrier with Dedicated Contract Services and ICS brokerage. Comparable intermodal and truckload offering but vastly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
• Knight-Swift Transportation: Largest TL carrier in North America with broad Van, Reefer, Flatbed, LTL, and intermodal services post-USX and AAA Cooper acquisitions. Provides scale benchmark for trucking peer comparison.
