Our History

KITS Brokerage has a rich history that began over a decade ago when our Founder and President, Kevin Kubica, embarked on his career in logistics in 2006. Kevin's journey started with a passion for the industry, sharpening his skills while working for a trucking company. However, the economic downturn of the late 2000s saw the company's closure, presenting Kevin with both challenges and opportunities.

Undeterred by the setback, Kevin saw the closure as a chance to create something new and impactful. In 2009, he founded KITS Brokerage, driven by a vision of providing exceptional service to shippers while ensuring fair and timely compensation for carriers. This dedication to integrity and customer satisfaction has remained unchanged throughout our 15-year journey.

The roots of KITS Brokerage trace back even further through Kevin's family history.

1950s

Kevin's grandfather, Edward A. Kubica, played a pivotal role in the family's trucking business, which serviced the automotive industry boom in Michigan during the 1950s. This legacy of hard work, entrepreneurship, and dedication to service laid the foundation for Kevin's venture.

1970s

Moreover, Kevin's late father, Edward R. Kubica, contributed to the family's tradition of excellence through his successful career in industrial engineering. His experiences further shaped Kevin's approach to business, blending the principles of engineering with the dynamic world of logistics.

2000s

Today, KITS Brokerage stands as a testament to this heritage, embodying the values of integrity, innovation, and partnership. What sets us apart from our competitors is our genuine commitment to building a legacy that extends beyond mere transactions. We prioritize meaningful career opportunities for our team, forge long-lasting partnerships with both shippers and carriers and remain adaptable to evolving industry trends.

As we celebrate our 15-year milestone, we reflect on our accomplishments with pride. Yet, we view this moment as just the beginning of a new chapter. With a team boasting over 30 years of collective experience, we approach the future with the same confidence and determination that fueled our inception in 2009.
