What KBX does

KBX Logistics is a Wichita, Kansas-based, privately-held freight management and multimodal transportation provider operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koch, Inc., one of America's largest private companies. The company was originally built to serve Koch's internal supply chain needs and has since commercialized that capability externally, offering fully outsourced freight management across truckload, rail & intermodal, project cargo, global forwarding, and bulk & specialized shipping. KBX also provides asset services covering sourcing, maintenance, compliance, and field support for rail car and trailer fleets, and serves enterprise customers across industrial manufacturing, chemicals & hazardous materials, consumer-packaged goods, food & beverage, automotive, and energy verticals.

The company's underlying technology platform is built around two proprietary products: KBX Track™, which provides real-time shipment visibility through direct carrier integrations and personalized dashboards, and KBX TM™, a proprietary transportation management system handling freight planning and execution. Carrier-side connectivity is supported through multiple channels — API (with integrations reportedly completable in 2-3 days), EDI/X12 mapping, project44 ELD-based GPS synchronization, Loadshop, the KBX TM Mobile driver app, and a manual web portal — allowing KBX to function as a two-sided logistics platform. A fuel card program launched via ONRAMP extends the carrier-side relationship into transaction-based fuel savings averaging 53¢ per gallon.

KBX generates revenue primarily through managed freight services (planning, execution, and optimization across modes), transaction fees on multimodal transportation bookings, asset management fees for rail and trailer fleets, and transaction-based carrier-side services through the fuel card and partner program. Pricing is bespoke and quote-based under multi-year enterprise contracts; no public pricing exists. Go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales targeting complex shippers with dedicated account teams, supported by case-study-driven content marketing and a carrier partner program. The company operates across 168 railroads, 7 global office hubs, multiple countries, and multiple trade lanes, and maintains a dedicated private fleet alongside third-party carrier capacity.
