Our Story
You need a trusted partner to handle your precious and valuable cargo. We understand how important it is, in this industry, to foster powerful relationships that are based on trust. That’s because we’ve been in the trenches of Transportation and Logistics for more than 10 years. Our founder, Garrett Sweigert started BLK Out Logistics as a standalone driver doing his own service and repairs along the way. He went on to gather invaluable knowledge and experience as a dispatcher, logistics coordinator, dock worker, and mechanic. And now he leads our team to consistently provide quick, reliable, and transparent service to clients at all times..

Asset-Based Logistics Company
Unlike most 3PLs, BLK Out Logistics is cut from asset-based cloth. Most brokers claim to understand transportation but we’ve lived it in the trenches for the past 8 years. From complex commercial white glove installs to truckload rollouts, our asset-based experience has paved the way for us to create a brokerage that actually understands what it takes to move freight from origin to destination without fail.
A Competent Team
A Competent Team
Every member of Blk Out Logistics is required to train on the ground floor with our asset-based company to cultivate account managers that actually understand freight, see freight, and appreciate it. These aren’t faceless transactions, these are relationships we have the honor of serving on behalf of our customers, and that’s hammered into our culture from day one.
