End-to-End Supply Chain Solutions
We consistently add value to each of our clients’ businesses, and the caliber of our people is unmatched. We offer core third party logistics services, with the ability to customize any supply chain solution for your business.
From grain and minerals to recycled materials and steel, we can take care of all your dry bulk shipping needs. We have a full stack of carriers equipped with hoppers, end dumps, walking floors, belts, pneumatics and augers for true end-to-end supply chain solutions.
Delivering safety and reliability, one tank at a time. Expertly hauling all kinds of liquids, from food grade to chemicals. Our liquid bulk freight team and carriers have direct experience with specialized equipment, regulatory compliance—including HAZMAT certification—and adopting new technologies to improve your service quality and customer experience in transporting bulk liquid freight.
From a single driver for a specific facility to multiple drivers servicing many locations with niche requirements, we have the capacity to meet and exceed your expectations with a custom dedicated solution. With a dedicated fleet, we will procure carriers to perform as an extension of YOUR supply chain.
If you have a product to move, we have a full truckload solution to get the job done—and if we don’t, we’ll create one. We can transport raw materials, hazardous materials, electronics, furniture, auto parts and more with our flatbed, van, refrigerated, removable goose neck, hopper and bulk freight carriers.
Protect your perishable goods and produce with temperature controlled freight solutions. Our team will connect you with refrigerated trucks guaranteed to get your products from point A to point B at the right time and the right temperature.
Whether it’s building materials, machinery or anything in between, our flatbed transportation options provide a solution for any load. Our carriers are equipped with Conestogas, step decks, stretch, double drops, lowboys and removable goose necks to haul anything you need. We also coordinate service escort cars and route planning for oversized loads.
Receive the efficiency benefits of full truckload shipments without the commitment to large product volume. We have vans, hot shots, flatbeds and sprinter vans ready to fulfill your less-than-truckload needs.
Time is money, and we have expedited ground shipping solutions to protect both for our customers. Our team works together to coordinate sprinter vans, hotshots, box trucks, domestic air and more to meet your urgent timelines.
Unlock your gateway to global success with our ocean and air transportation services. Our expanded global forwarding offerings are designed to meet the growing demands of global trade via air freight, ocean freight, drayage and customs brokerage.

Our Story
After over ten years in the transportation and logistics industry, John Kuhlmann, president and founder of Heartland Logistics Group, and Scott Erickson, vice president and co-founder, recognized the gaps in the industry.
On a mission to create end-to-end supply chain solutions through full service third-party logistics, the two founded Heartland Logistics Group in 2020.
Driven by hustle, hard work and faith in what we’re doing, we’re continuing to raise the bar for the industry standard in transportation and logistics by redefining relationships between our customers, carriers and employees.
"Good communication and a team-first mindset go a long way in customer service. Thank you for providing both for us."
About Us
The ability to move product from point A to point B is easy, but the team that stands behind that movement is what matters, and our team is the best of the best.
We don’t simply move freight, we make recommendations and look at the freight from every avenue—not just the movement, but the weather, the line haul and more. We plan for the worst and hope for the best. When problems arise, we come to the table quickly and efficiently with a solution in hand. We make decisions with our customers’ success in mind, not our pockets. We have seen the good, bad and ugly and we know how to navigate it all quickly and efficiently.

Values
We are committed to doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. This is a foundational element for building trust and the guiding principle for how we execute business daily.
Our culture is built on faith, family and gratitude. Thankful for each day, we strive to create a positive work environment that brings out the best experience in every interaction.
You will never have to hold us accountable, simply because we take the initiative to do it ourselves. We all make mistakes, it’s how we navigate those mistakes that sets us apart.
While we strive for perfection, we are navigating an imperfect, ever changing industry. We communicate, work hard to find solutions and are transparent when things don’t go according to plan.
The only way to get respect is to earn it. Good family values make our work values even stronger. A little compassion and understanding go a long way. Be kind.
We foster a dynamic, team-based work environment to deliver the best value possible for our partners.
We are here to serve our customers. We know you are the key to our growth and success. We understand logistics never sleeps, and we are committed to always being available.
In the transportation industry, change is inevitable. We have the skills and experience to craft unique solutions that meet your needs and face the challenges involved with supply chain operations.
Our team loves a good challenge—give us one! We chase hard to bring success to our customers and carrier partners and we don’t stop until the job is done.
We are a team who loves our work and are excited about the day-to-day difference we are making. We know that being GREAT is a choice and we never settle for average or “good enough.”
