How we work

The Clean Chain Standard

How AB&M moves freight, on every load.

  1. We never post your freight to a public load board. If the load is never on a board, nobody watching a board ever sees it.

  2. We have met most of our carriers. Not verified on a screen. Met.

  3. We monitor our carriers with in-house and commercially available tools, not only at onboarding.

  4. We never put a new carrier on a hot load. If the only truck available is one we don’t know, we tell you we can’t cover it. We would rather lose the load.

  5. One dispatcher owns your freight from the first call to the delivery confirmation, and calls you when something changes.

  6. A real person answers, any hour. No AI, no phone tree to fight through. (803) 244-9897.

AB&M Logistics was founded in 1997 as a family-owned expedited freight broker serving the U.S. manufacturing and logistics industry. Today, nearly three decades later, we dispatch emergency freight across 48 states and six Canadian provinces, plus the U.S.-Mexico border corridor.

We are not a technology company that entered logistics. We are a freight operations company that has built deep carrier relationships, operational protocols, and customer trust over nearly three decades. We have never posted a load to a public board.

Walter Kaszycki — Founder & Owner

Founder & Owner
AfA Truck Fraud Committee

Walter Kaszycki doesn't come from logistics. He comes from figuring things out.

He built his first company — a commercial cleaning operation — into one that serviced over 40 Walmart locations. That's 40 stores that needed to be spotless by opening, every single morning, no excuses. It taught him the only thing that matters in a service business: you show up, you deliver, or you don't get the call again.

After that, he owned a car dealership and a custom car building shop. Different industry, same principle — customers don't care about your problems, they care about the result.

Then Walter bought a carrier company and started running trucks. He learned freight from the cab, the dock, and the dispatch office — not from a PowerPoint. That carrier operation evolved into AB&M Logistics in 1997, when Walter realized that shippers didn't need another broker reading off a rate sheet. They needed someone who'd actually moved freight, understood what goes wrong at 2 AM on a Saturday, and knew how to fix it before the customer had to ask.

Nearly three decades later, that's still how AB&M runs. Walter is an active member of the Airforwarders Association, where he serves on the Truck Fraud Committee — working directly on the cargo theft prevention standards that protect the industry — and the Membership Committee.

AfA Board of Directors

David King serves as Director of Client Partnerships at AB&M Logistics and is a member of the Board of Directors of the Airforwarders Association for the 2025–2028 term.

In October 2025, David and the AfA formally called on the U.S. Department of Transportation to establish a Federal Cargo Theft and Fraud Task Force — a response to survey data showing that 8 in 10 AfA member companies have been impacted by organized freight fraud. David's leadership on this initiative reflects AB&M's position at the forefront of the industry's fight against cargo crime.

"Cargo crime is no longer an isolated problem; it is a coordinated, technology-driven threat affecting every part of the logistics chain."

General Manager
16 years OTR · 18 years brokerage

Robert McGrady oversees ground expedite, hand-carry, and cross-border operations at AB&M Logistics across the United States and Canada.

He has 16 years of over-the-road trucking experience and 18 years brokering expedited and hand-carry freight — more than a decade of those at AB&M. He learned the freight business from the cab and the dock before he ever sat behind a dispatch desk, and that's still how he runs it.

Robert leads AB&M's specialized lanes including the ESD-compliant hand-carry protocol developed for a hyperscale data center program — work that requires equipment-grade handling, chain-of-custody documentation, and on-call response measured in minutes, not hours.

The Hyperscale Server Logistics Program

AB&M was selected to build and operate the dedicated server logistics program for one of the world's largest technology companies. The program required AB&M to develop ESD-compliant handling protocols, white glove delivery standards, and full SOP documentation for hyperscale data center deployments.

This wasn't a one-time contract. AB&M built the operational framework from the ground up: chain-of-custody procedures from warehouse to rack, zero-damage handling standards for servers, networking equipment, storage arrays, and sensitive compute hardware at scale. The program defines the operational standard AB&M now applies to every sensitive freight shipment we handle — from pharmaceutical logistics to high-value electronics.

How We Operate

AB&M is a non-asset freight broker. We do not own trucks — we maintain direct relationships with vetted carrier assets across every major freight corridor. This model lets us dispatch the fastest available vehicle for any load anywhere in the country with one dispatcher per load, without waiting for our own fleet to become available.

Every carrier in our network has been vetted through our multi-step verification process: DOT authority confirmation, insurance validation with the provider directly, safety rating review, and carrier history checks. We never source carriers from public load boards — every carrier we use is known to us through an established working relationship. This is not a policy we adopted in response to the fraud crisis. It is how we have operated for nearly three decades.
