So today we were almost run over by a Kochlogistics Truck

speeding at breakneck pace on HWY 10 north of St. Cloud, while we drove in our little Subauru. The driver looked nasty. That is all I can say. And he looked neither left nor right. I had no idea that they had a transport Company also. They own everything don't they? Based out of Minneapolis it says on their truck although they are actually in St. Paul.

So how long will it be before they are hauling our mail and sorting it before it gets to our homes?

1. Are they actually part of the Koch empire?

Or is it just a similar name?

I could find any link from this company to Koch Industries.

3. Yeah, that still doesn't link them to

the Koch industries run by the Koch Brothers. Just to a site for shipping supplies.

8. Do the logos tell the story?

Check the logos. THE Koch Industries logo at http://www.kochind.com/
This Koch Industries logo is very different and lists a Twin Cities Headquarters.
I think it's an unfortunate name for a Twin Cities company......or are we being played?

9. See, that was my thinking.

Different logos, Minneapolis-based headquarters, and limited to shipping. But, I'm not married to the idea. Like I said, it's just a feeling.

10. NOT THE SAME! I asked them.

Edited on Mon Apr-11-11 07:46 PM by spedtr90

I received a reply that they are not related in any way to the Koch brothers or that Koch Industries. This seems to be a questions they get a lot, as a person is assigned to respond to such questions.
They are strictly a MN company.
