About Us: Your Shipping Partner
We provide the technology and expertise to simplify your shipping needs. From port to warehouse then truckload and final mile, Forrest Logistics is with you through every step of the way.
A Strong Start
Forrest Logistics was founded in 2019 with a vision to redefine supply chain solutions. Headquartered in Phoenix, this small but ambitious logistics company quickly made an impact, providing nationwide services with a growing team. Led by CEO Reed Kiefer and business partner Vince Fasso, the company focused on innovation, efficiency.
Expansion & Recognition
By 2022, Forrest Logistics had outgrown its original office, moving to a larger space to support its rapid growth. With a team of 46 employees, the company continued to scale operations and enhance its services, solidifying its reputation in the industry.
A Legacy of Impact, Inclusion, and Excellence
The Inspiration Behind Forrest
Forrest Kiefer, born in 2013, is the namesake and inspiration for Friends of Forrest. Diagnosed with autism at age four, his journey connected his parents, Reed and Julie Kiefer, to life-changing resources and a supportive community. Through the foundation, they aim to extend that same support to neurodivergent individuals and their families.
Supporting Neurodiverse Communities
As of September 2023, Friends of Forrest, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit by Forrest Logistics, supports neurodiverse individuals, including those with Autism, PTSD, and Down Syndrome. Forrest Logistics donates $1.50 per load to promote inclusivity.
