Freight in Kansas City

A real freight partner in Kansas City, MO.

Kansas City is one of the largest inland freight hubs in the country, where five interstate highways and major rail terminals converge downtown. AFX Logistics dispatches flatbed, dry van, reefer, hotshot, and oversized equipment across the KC metro on both the Missouri and Kansas sides, with strong daily lanes south to Tulsa, Oklahoma City, and Dallas.

KC’s location is its superpower: freight moves out of it in every direction, which means backhaul capacity and competitive rates in all of them. The metro’s food processing, ag, auto, and aerospace shippers each need different equipment, and we carry it, from temperature-controlled reefer for the food belt to flatbed for steel and ag machinery, all priced in about two minutes and tracked to delivery.

What we move out of Kansas City:

  • Agricultural commodities and food-grade freight
  • Food processing, beverage, and reefer loads
  • Auto manufacturing parts and finished goods
  • Steel, fabrication, and construction materials
  • Retail distribution and palletized dry van freight
