Southland Logistics
Courier in Columbia, IL offering same-day delivery, last-mile delivery, LTL freight and 24/7 dispatch.
A family firm in Columbia, Illinois, south of St. Louis — a father-and-sons team with more than sixty years of combined logistics experience. President Jim Pepper founded a trucking company in 1997, grew it to over 700 drivers across 35-plus states, and sold it in 2020.
Operations run 24/7, 365, with both day and night route structures, which matters if your freight moves overnight. Coverage is stated as all 48 continental states.
Equipment spans box trucks, straight trucks, stepvans, Sprinter and cargo vans, tractor trailers and sleepers. The work is heavier than typical courier fare: final-mile with full hand unload and multiple stops, unattended delivery to locked boxes, terminal-to-terminal linehaul, truckload and LTL, plus yard jockey and spotter services.
Named specialisms are pharmaceutical delivery with elevated cargo insurance, automotive parts for Ford, GM, Toyota and Hyundai/KIA, farm equipment parts for John Deere and Case New Holland, and appliance delivery with assembly and setup.
Some capacity runs through carrier partner agreements, so ask whether your job stays on Southland equipment.
