About NCL

Northern Continental Logistics was created in 1998 by Kathryn Leamer. Having been employed by large multi-national corporations, Kathryn had first-hand knowledge of the challenges faced by big business in managing supply chains.

The NCL business model was designed to manage the logistical processes of businesses, both large and small, by translating complex transportation problems into simple web-based solutions. To assist with this, NCL offers a spectrum of in-house services, from verifying freight documents to providing reporting customized to each client. Other services include an easy to use TMS program for shipping as well as a full service truckload division.

NCL values its long-term partnership with every client. Because of this, our clients are loyal and most have been with NCL for over ten years. NCL does it all with a personalized touch like no other logistics company.
