Here at Logistics Specialists we do all the same things a traffic manager and their staff can do - with less cost and responsibility to your company.
We have been in business since 2004 and have the best operations staff that money can buy. The founder, Ken Michael, has personally trained each and every person in our organization to do this job.
Ken believes in bringing in fresh faces to the industry and training them from the ground up to be a Logistics Specialists, rather than trying to correct bad habits taught by brokers who lie, cheat, and steal from their customers.
We truly believe this industry has done things that do not honor you or your company. We will never lie, cheat or steal from our partners. We will work hard to move each and every load with on-time pickup and delivery, at the best price possible. At the end of the day we are an extension of you and your company.
All we ask is that you try us for 90 days and we will be the best Traffic Management company you will ever work with.
We have brokerage authority but WE ARE NOT YOUR TYPICAL BROKER!
“If you give us the first load, we’ll earn the rest.”
We are all highly trained individuals that will show to you a different way to move your product from point to point. We will be your traffic department.
Stephanie Arnette,
Sauer Brands
Sauer Brands has had the pleasure of working with Logistics Specialists of Lavaca (LOHD) since their inception, and we have consistently been impressed by their exceptional service levels. Their dedication has played a key role in helping us achieve an impressive 99% on-time rate. The Lavaca team is not only attentive and friendly but also adept at solving any problem that arises, making us feel like their top priority.
Our communication is primarily conducted via email, and Lavaca handles our requests with remarkable transparency and honesty, always presenting us with viable options to address any transportation needs. Their adaptability is evident from their seamless integration with two different TMS systems that Sauer Brands has used, and their billing process is equally efficient—complete
with comprehensive documentation for each shipment.
We frequently rely on Lavaca for rush orders and inbound shipments, and their reliability is so steadfast that we trust them with deliveries to our largest and most important partner customers. Given the time-sensitive and temperature-sensitive nature of our shipments in the food industry,
their use of Dry Van and Reefer equipment has been crucial.
Lavaca truly stands out as a valued partner in our logistics operations, and we look forward to continuing this successful partnership.

"I am writing to express my wholehearted endorsement of Logistics Specialists of
Lavaca, as they have recently been recognized as one of the top 10 logistics providers. It has
been my pleasure to engage with the Logistics team for over 18 years since we first began our
partnership after being referred to them by one of our customers.
From the outset, Logistics Specialists of Lavaca distinguished itself from other carriers through exceptional service and outstanding communication. Despite having gone several years without a face-to-face meeting, we successfully built a strong working relationship through teleconferences and emails. This professional rapport has grown into a lasting friendship that both my team and I deeply value.
Throughout our partnership, we have navigated various challenges, including increased freight rates during peak seasons and when the market has been favorable to drivers. Yet, what sets Logistics apart is their integrity; they have been one of the few logistics providers willing to reduce their rates when circumstances allowed. This honest approach reflects their commitment not only to their clients but also to their drivers.
The foundation of Logistics Specialists of Lavaca as a Christian-based company is evident in the sincere care they extend to both their drivers and customers. It is rare to find such dedication in the logistics industry, and this is a key reason why we consider Logistics Specialists of Lavaca our primary carrier.
In light of these positive experiences and the exceptional attributes of Logistics Specialists of Lavaca, I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a reliable logistics provider."
