About us

As a young teen, Leroy Kopf began working in the mechanics shop at his father’s business repairing trucks and performing various other duties for the company. It was there his love for logistics was born! His involvement in the business, founded in 1980, grew. In 1988 after graduating from Calvin College, he and his wife Vickie moved to Georgia to continue his work at the company’s Athens, Georgia truck terminal. Six years later, they returned to Indiana where he assumed a leadership role at Kopf headquarters. In 2008, after many years of working with his father, Leroy purchased the family business. With the addition of our brokerage division in 2011, the company continues to grow and thrive. Kopf Culture Leroy’s strong leadership, vast knowledge of the industry and commitment to a value-based culture, has propelled our company forward. Together we are creating a stronger future by putting people first in everything we do. Our company is a place where opportunities abound, where dreams become reality and where we never stop learning. Our discoveries over the years have taught us well and our humble beginnings continue to inspire us!

    It's not a secret the logistics and transportation industries have been feeling the pressure of our inflated economy, just like all Americans. But what is the current state of the freight brokerage environment? Freight Agents often have to offer rock-bottom prices to win either spot or contract business. As FreightWaves describes it, "The contract business provides an added layer of risk due to long-term commitments through an uncertain period. As a result, the broker is at risk of chasing too much business, with a high risk of service failure and losing money with rock-bottom prices in this environment." So what's the best way to respond? This quote from FreightWaves sums it up perfectly. "While requiring more attention to detail, brokers can identify lanes that have lower risk to target low end prices while focusing on building carrier bases in higher risk lanes and pushing service." The market is showing signs of changing, but until it does, we will continue to adapt and come out on the other side more resilient.

    Aren't Freight Brokers and Freight Agents unnecessary middlemen who just increase shipping rates? This is a common question, and one that we LOVE to answer because, *spoiler alert* Brokers add SO MUCH VALUE to shippers! Here's what we mean... 1. Cost Savings Shippers are focused on the production and sales of their products, not as much on the transportation element. This is where Freight Brokers come in. We as a Broker can leverage our extensive carrier network to secure the most cost-effective transportation options, significantly reducing overall freight expenses. 2. Efficiency A Broker manages the entire logistics process from arranging the pickup, transit, and delivery of cargo by negotiating with carriers. This is a HUGE value to shippers! Brokers enhance logistics efficiency so shippers can focus on what they want to focus on - production and sales. 3. Reliability Freight Brokers also add value by ensuring reliable and on-time delivery. This may be the greatest value a Broker adds because it takes the worry and hassle off the shipper and places it on the Broker. It includes everything from vetting carriers, handling regulatory compliance, proactively managing logistics challenges, and responding to emergencies or unexpected events. At Kopf, we firmly believe it is advantageous for a shipper to find a trusted Freight Broker who has the financial backing and expertise to ensure freight is delivered from point A to point B as efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively as possible. ****** Kopf Logistics Group is a trusted family-owned and operated brokerage established in 1980 in Elkhart, Indiana.

    America the Beautiful...Interstate 80 in Wyoming. Bright blue sky, wide open spaces, puffy clouds...and snow?! Brrrr. If you've ever driven through Wyoming then you know 18-wheelers are a common sight. In fact, Interstate 80 is one of the busiest routes in the U.S. for moving freight from coast to coast. It's also one of the most dangerous according to a 2023 study by Simplex. So Drivers, stay safe out there. We care about YOU! Thanks to Kopf Driver John G. for sharing his view on the road with us. Truck Drivers, please keep sending your photos!

    It doesn't matter how slow you go as long as you do not stop. This is important to remember on those challenging days when our pace feels like that of a snail. When we compare our growth to others, it's easy to feel defeated. It isn't the speed that matters so much as your consistency. One foot in front of the other each day. So whether today feels like an inch forward or a sprint to the finish, celebrate your forward movement! ****** Kopf Logistics Group is a trusted family-owned and operated brokerage established in 1980 in Elkhart, Indiana.

For a shipper, this is where working with a trusted Freight Broker makes all the difference.
