The ALC Story

With $1,000 in his pocket, Allen Lund made the brave decision to start his own transportation brokerage company. It was 1976, when Allen Lund Company formally opened the first office in Los Angeles, adjacent to the produce market. Allen and his wife Kathie began what he referred to as “living the American dream.” As years went on the company continued to grow, opening offices across the country, and in 2017, ALC became a 500M company: one of Allen’s dreams.

Under Allen’s guidance, his sons, David, Kenny, and Eddie became more involved in the day-to-day operations, all promoted to vice presidents along the way. Each son has worked the brokerage desk and truly understands the business, inside and out. Additionally, son-in-law Steve Doerfler has risen through the ranks from broker to company CFO. Upon his passing in 2018, Allen left a financially sound and well organized company.

ALC Today

The company remains family-owned with President Eddie Lund, at the helm with the Chairman of the Board, David Lund, Executive Vice President, Kenny Lund, and son-in-law Steve Doerfler as company CFO. Executive Vice President, Jim McGuire and CIO, Chetan Tandon round out the executive team.

We continue Allen Lund’s legacy by treating every team member and customer like family, and in return, foster authentic and reputable relationships, resulting in complete customer satisfaction. With these values at the forefront of our company, ALC hit a massive milestone in 2024, arranging over 640,000 loads and once again surpassing the $1 billion revenue mark. This is so much more than a financial achievement, it’s proof that our team’s hard work, passion, and dedication has led us to where we are today. 

ALC continues to grow through opening new offices, organic sales, and additional acquisitions. In 2023, ALC expanded into Canada, acquiring a logistics company that now operates as ALC Vancouver, BC in North Vancouver, BC. In 2024, after years of investment and development, ALC established ALC India and opened two new offices in Salt Lake City, UT, and Indianapolis, bringing our total to 40 offices. The team focuses on the Transportation Management System (TMS) for Allen Lund Company and integrating with the company’s top customers. 

ALC is grateful for their executive leaders and employees whose unwavering commitment to serving the industry and local communities has and will continue to flourish and grow exponentially.

Sustainability Statement

We make every effort to limit empty miles

Sustainability – For 48+ years, ALC has been helping trucking companies reduce their empty miles by providing backhauls. We have been designing and utilizing in-house transportation management software to help identify carriers within proximity of our pickup points and drive empty miles as low as possible for our contract carriers. Recently, we have begun collaborating with some of our largest Fortune 500 customers to identify opportunities for sharing their fleets for backhaul shipments. This program has resulted in  reduced carbon emissions and transportation costs for all parties involved.

Since 2009, Allen Lund Company has been in partnership with the EPA SmartWay Transport Program.  We comply with all reporting necessary to be included in this important program. Even as a non-asset-based company, we still work to communicate and educate drivers on the most effective manner to operate their businesses, whether that is one to two trucks, mid-size fleets or large carriers. We were recently awarded a bronze medal from EcoVadis, the world’s largest provider of business sustainability ratings, in recognition of our status as a “top sustainability performer”.

Corporately, we continue to identify opportunities to implement sustainable practices. In addition to our waste reduction and recycling initiatives at the office level, we are also exploring multiple low-carbon shipping solutions. Please reach out to our corporate ESG Manager, Charlie Fabricant, for more information on how we can help reduce your transportation emissions.
