KST Logistics is a California-based freight carrier specializing in flatbed, step-deck, hot shot, and overdimensional transportation.
Built on hard work and straight-up follow-through, we move the loads others won’t — safely, strategically, and nationwide.
Headquartered in Manteca, we deliver reliable, on-time freight solutions across the U.S. and beyond.
We’re proud to be a certified Small Business and DVBE (Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise) with the California Department of General Services — committed to serving both commercial and government partners with precision and care.
Ken Sanders built KST from the ground up with grit, integrity, and an unshakable commitment to his team and clients. He didn’t just lead the company — he lived it, shaping a culture of loyalty, hard work, and showing up when it mattered.
Featured in Forged with Fire (10-4 Magazine), Ken’s story reflects the resilience that still fuels KST today.
Though he’s no longer with us, his legacy drives every mile we travel and every relationship we build.
Today, Shannon Sanders now leads KST Logistics with grit, clarity, and purpose. She carries forward the integrity, work ethic, and heart that defined Ken’s leadership—honoring his legacy while driving KST into its next chapter.
With a strong background in finance, operations, and strategic direction, Shannon knows the business inside and out. She leads with the same no-quit mindset that built KST from the ground up, ensuring customers receive the professionalism, reliability, and care they’ve come to expect.
Shannon also holds a B.A. in Business Management.
“I’m proud to continue what we started together: a safety-first, dependable flatbed carrier based in California, specializing in over-dimensional freight and long-haul lanes to the Midwest.”.- Shannon
