Lewis C. Howard, Inc. is a family-owned logistics company headquartered in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA, founded in 1957. According to its official website, its core business covers industrial warehousing, transportation and distribution, Boxcar/rail-related services and local distribution, with a service focus on the Midwest US regions including Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois.
Its strength does not lie in small parcel delivery, but rather industrial-grade warehousing and regional transportation. The company owns over 2 million square feet of warehouse space, more than 60 power units, and over 700/750 trailers. It supports vehicle types including Van, Curtain side/Conestoga, Flatbed, Belt, multi-axle heavy haul, and more. Its transportation scope is mainly within a 300-mile radius of Kalamazoo, and it offers dedicated line/shuttle transport, on-site drivers, JIT on-demand delivery, drop-and-hook services, logistics coordination, and 48/53 ft storage trailer rental. On the warehousing side, it emphasizes rail transshipment and local last-mile delivery, served by multiple Class I railroads and short-line railroads.
There is no public price list on the official website, nor is there an online quoting system. Transportation, warehousing, trailer rental, on-site drivers, JIT delivery and other services are most likely priced on a customized basis according to cargo type, distance, warehouse area, loading/unloading requirements and service cycle. You need to contact them via phone at 269-344-0144 or email for a quote.
Pros: It has a long history and solid regional resources. Its warehouse space and trailer fleet scale are quite attractive to mid-sized manufacturers and distributors. It also has both rail transshipment and truck delivery capabilities, making it suitable for industrial cargo such as paper products, packaging materials, timber, and metals. Cons: The official website has a low level of digitalization; there is no online ordering, real-time tracking, customer portal, API integration, SLA or detailed insurance terms. Its service area is also relatively localized, so it is not suitable as a national or cross-border e-commerce logistics solution.
It is suitable for B2B customers that have needs for warehousing, regional distribution, rail-to-truck transshipment, temporary trailer storage, and inter-factory shuttle transportation in the US Midwest. If Chinese companies have overseas warehouses, factory supply chains or industrial product distribution near Michigan, it can be considered as a candidate for a local warehousing and delivery service provider.
The official website is a standard corporate showcase site, and it can generally be accessed directly from mainland China. However, its business is mainly focused on the local US market, and there is no clear indication that it offers Chinese language support, cross-border logistics or dedicated service for Chinese clients.
