Company and Employee Bio
Frontier Logistics was formed in 1999 as a sister company of Frontier Moving and Storage. Frontier Moving and Storage has been engaged in warehousing and freight handling in Idaho since the early 1900's
"We were frustrated with the increased demands on our customers to meet the fast-paced requirements of warehousing and shipping. Shipping cost continued to sky rocket while the services declined. Recognizing that businesses are demanding more innovative options for reducing employee overhead and controlling freight costs and services, we created our FLGSI System©" -Kenneth D. Edmunds, CEO Frontier Moving and Storage
Early in our developmental phase we realized Frontier Logistics with it's FLGSI System© could be an asset for more than just our warehouse clients. We obtained a brokeage license so we could share our service with other companies besides just our warehouse customers. Kirk recognized our FLGSI System© and saw the benefit of our automated system and the leverage our large freight volume provided for freight discounts.
Shortly into our start up phase Kirk Larson left a major LTL Carrier after 18 years in the industry because he was tired of how the industry mislead and represented their clients.
Kirk took over the managing control of Frontier Logistics with the objective of representing our customers and giving the information the Freight Companies never wanted their consumers to know. Finally Kirk could truly represent his customers actual needs and concerns.
The work was enjoyable and provided a honorable service, which attracted other key people from with in the industry. These people wanted the freedom of saving customers lots of money and the escape from a bureaucratic environment.
