If you’ve never heard of BNSF Logistics, it’s about time you discover why women consider this growing company an excellent place to work. We spoke to representatives of the company itself to find out what makes BNSF Logistics a particularly exciting and beneficial place to work. Here’s what they had to say. 

What is the mission of BNSF Logistics? 

The purpose of BNSF Logistics is “We Deliver What Matters.”

What are its core values? 

Our Guiding Principles are:  

  • We protect the well-being of ourselves and others,

  • We drive innovation and embrace transformation,

What differentiates the organization from others in this space/industry?  

BNSF Logistics is a technology and people-driven third-party logistics company that delivers what matters – to our people, our customers, our carriers and our communities. We are a growing company that dares to embrace imagination and combine it with deep experience and technology to provide smart, creative supply chain solutions that align with our customers’ business needs and bring efficient, on-time and measurable results to their bottom line. 

A subsidiary of Burlington Northern Santa Fe, LLC, a Berkshire Hathaway company, BNSF Logistics specializes in movement of freight around the globe, leveraging uncommon service scope, resources and financial depth. The company operates more than 25 offices throughout North America and has a network of Global Service Providers (GSPs) that have completed required due diligence and certified their understanding and willingness to comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. We offer a comprehensive suite of solutions across all modes, including: transportation execution, over the road, rail, intermodal, heavy haul/over-dimensional, air, ocean, managed transportation, supply chain consulting, project management, engineering services, reverse logistics, warehousing/cross-docking and custom house brokerage.

When you see things the same way you’ve always seen them — when you cling to convention — logistics can seem like a pretty confusing place. In a time when the supply chain is under more pressure than ever to perform, logistics as usual is the last thing shippers need. Commerce is moving too fast and furious. It’s often erratic and unpredictable. And woe to the company unprepared to deal with the chaos of it all. What’s required is smart, creative thinking. When you dare to embrace imagination and combine it with deep experience and technology, new possibilities suddenly present themselves. There’s an unanticipated opportunity here; an unforeseen obstacle avoided there. All of it invisible to the unimaginative, yet brimming with solutions when you're able to connect the dots that have never been connected. Expanding what's possible, above all expectations. This is the promise and power of BNSF Logistics.
