Our Story
Built on Safety. Driven by Reliability.
For over 15 years, Caldera Logistic Solutions has moved the freight others won't — with the certifications, equipment, and people to do it right every time.
Who We Are
Caldera Logistic Solutions was founded with a single conviction: that specialized freight deserves specialized expertise. What started as a small regional carrier has grown into a full-service logistics operation covering 48 states — with a fleet built for the most demanding loads in the industry.
We lead with intermodal drayage and have built deep capabilities across container and rail, dedicated operations, spotter services, overweight and oversize loads, hazmat, and tanker hauling. Every driver we hire, every truck we spec, and every load we accept reflects our commitment to safety-first operations.

Safety Is Not a Checkbox
It's how we operate every single day.
Our safety program exceeds FMCSA and DOT requirements at every level — from driver qualification and ongoing training to equipment inspection and load securement. We maintain a rigorous internal audit process and hold every driver accountable to the same standards we'd want applied to our own freight.
Driver Qualification
Every driver undergoes a full background check, MVR review, drug screening, and skills evaluation before their first load.
Ongoing Training
Annual safety recertification, hazmat refreshers, and defensive driving courses keep our team sharp and compliant.
Equipment Inspection
Pre-trip and post-trip inspections on every unit, with a preventive maintenance schedule that keeps our fleet DOT-ready.
