Kenco began providing transportation services to its contract warehousing customers in the 1980’s. Over the years, services expanded to include dedicated transportation carriage, over-the-road transportation, and freight brokerage.
In 2008, Kenco Transportation Services purchased The Chattanooga Freight Bureau (CFB). CFB was established in 1904 by area manufacturers to satisfy the manufacturing community’s need for an advocate to lower rail freight rates. With the advent of motor carriage, the organization expanded to include a transportation department that handled all freight issues. In 1959, this group formed a corporation for these services which was named Chattanooga Freight Bureau. This acquisition gave Kenco Transportation Services the ability to offer a full suite of transportation solutions, making it a complete full-service provider.
Today, the mission of Kenco Transportation Services is to provide innovative transportation solutions, ensure the best service levels and enable our clients to focus on their core business.
Kenco Transportation Services is a member of the Kenco Family of Companies, which also includes: Kenco Logistic Services, Kenco Toyota-Lift, Kenco Management Services and JDK Real Estate.
