What Florida Food Tankers Inc does

Kenan Advantage Group (KAG) is North America's largest tank truck transporter and a multi-division bulk logistics platform. The company operates across six core divisions — KAG Energy (refined petroleum and renewable fuels), KAG Specialty Products (chemicals and liquid foods), KAG Food Products (food-grade bulk liquid and dry bulk transportation), KAG Merchant Gas (cryogenic and industrial gas including LNG, CO2, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and helium), KAG Logistics (third-party logistics, transloading, and supply chain solutions), and KAG Canada (Canadian bulk commodity transport). The platform serves enterprise customers in food & beverage, energy, chemical manufacturing, industrial gas, and oil & gas exploration across 40 US states, 7 Canadian provinces/territories, and Mexico.

The underlying asset base includes approximately 6,200 power units and 9,700 trailers, supported by 200+ terminals, 130 maintenance shops, 26 tank wash facilities (including kosher-certified washes), 9 storage facilities (including a 160-million liter fuel tank farm and 2.6 million gallons of temperature-controlled capacity), and 1 transloading site. Technology stack is operational rather than AI-differentiated: GPS real-time tracking, onboard cameras with active coaching, collision mitigation, lane departure warnings, electronic stability control, and Smith System defensive driving training.

Revenue is generated through six streams: (1) bulk liquid transportation services (transaction-fee contracts with dedicated, long-haul, regional, cross-border, and brokerage options); (2) tank trailer leasing (subscription/recurring); (3) trailer repair and maintenance (professional services); (4) tank washing (professional services); (5) transloading and end-to-end logistics via KAG Logistics (managed services); and (6) storage services (managed services). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and operates on a custom quote-based, multi-year contract model targeting enterprise customers, accessed through direct sales organized by division and regional coverage. Customer relationships are anchored by dedicated contract carriage and product compatibility matrices that materially raise switching costs.
