About KLM Logistics
West Texas roots. Relationships that move freight.
Based in Midland, KLM Logistics brings a practical, personal approach to freight brokerage. We coordinate transportation for oilfield services, municipal services, and data center logistics across Texas and beyond.
How we work
Honesty. Efficiency. Preparation.
Our work starts with understanding your shipment: what needs to move, where it needs to go, and what the jobsite requires. We bring customers and carriers together with clear expectations and communication throughout the process.

A consistent process. A dedicated team. Safety and compliance guide how KLM Logistics selects and works with carriers. Our Risk Management team follows a structured qualification process and monitors carrier credentials throughout the relationship.

Ongoing monitoring
Our carrier compliance portal helps us track changes in operating authority, insurance, and safety information so our team can review and address issues.
