About Good King
Tailored logistics. Built on service.
Good King Logistics is a tailored freight and logistics agency built for businesses that want more than a rate and a tracking number. We combine personal accountability with the carrier network, technology, and operational depth of HDShips and Tilt — so you get real attention without giving up scale.
Our story
Service before selling.
Good King was founded by Derek King after more than 20 years in transportation and customer service. Along the way, one lesson became unmistakable: the difference between a vendor and a partner is character.
We chose the name Good King intentionally. It reflects our family name and, more importantly, a standard of leadership rooted in humility, stewardship, and care for the people we serve. That standard shapes how we quote, how we communicate, and how we show up when a shipment does not go as planned.
Character in every mile. Care in every relationship. That is our promise.
Our values
The principles behind every decision.
Honesty
We tell customers the truth about capacity, timing, and risk — even when it is not what anyone wants to hear.
Humility
We listen first, ask thoughtful questions, and never assume our way is the only way to serve you well.
Stewardship
Your freight, your budget, and your customer commitments are ours to protect. We treat every load like it matters — because it does.
Reliability
Show up, follow through, close the loop. Service before selling is not a slogan — it is the standard we work by every day.
