Diverse Supplier Spotlight: Mountaineer Logistics

BY COLIN HEFFINGER

“Responsible. Reliable. Transportation.” From warehousing to distribution, businesses throughout the nation heavily depend on effective and efficient transportation across land, air, and sea. For Mountaineer Logistics, creating personalized solutions that meet customer freight demands is essential to support all industries of business within Delaware and the surrounding region.

Mountaineer Logistics was launched in 2019, starting off with a franchise and a van selling frozen fruit bars. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the brand quickly adapted to serve exclusively as a courier service for businesses to transport COVID-19 tests and resources. Since then, Mountaineer Logistics has evolved into a full-service transportation company offering warehousing, freight shipping, and a variety of logistics services to expand into serving all industries.

Khary DeWitt, president and founder of Mountaineer Logistics, explains how his brand standing out in the overpacked transportation market starts with a freight analysis and relationship building. “At Mountaineer Logistics, we streamline freight quotes and optimize shipments to lower costs and simplify the logistics experience for our customers,” DeWitt states. “Additionally, we ensure we are able to serve all their needs by offering services 24/7, including access to our thousands of carriers and same day, expedited deliveries.”

Behind the scenes, Mountaineer Logistics’ trusted network of carriers, couriers, and warehousing leaders represent the gears to drive forth their strategic success. By working together and streamlining the shipment process to prioritize efficiency, the network can offer these expedited services while still maintaining professionalism and security. All freight shipping also includes tracking through their customer portal, further strengthening trust and transparency.

Currently, DeWitt is focused on further expanding his team to meet warehousing needs and new partnership opportunities in ecommerce distribution. “We’re focused on expanding our support of as many businesses as we can while simultaneously creating new jobs here in Delaware,” DeWitt explains. “Even though our courier services can reach anywhere throughout the nation, our real impact starts here in the First State.”

As a certified diverse supplier, DeWitt reflects on the responsibility for all businesses with similar certifications to provide reliable services at the same level as any supplier while also uplifting others. “It’s critical that we not only maintain a certain level of excellence, but also be responsible by helping others in similar situations looking to grow,” DeWitt states. “For many minority-owned suppliers, it can be hard to have access to the resources and knowledge needed for their business to excel, including this certification. I’m determined to share the knowledge needed for these brands to move forward and leave a lasting impact that strengthens our minority-owned businesses throughout the nation.”
