Curt McLaughlin
Curt was the company's founder and the driving force behind its beginnings. Raised in Miami, Oklahoma, during the hardships of the Great Depression, he learned early the values of hard work, perseverance, and determination. After attending Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College, he moved to California in the 1950s to pursue greater opportunities for himself and his growing family. At first, he worked with Santa Fe National Railway in the early days of Interline Freight. Inspired by the belief that dedication and integrity could build a better future, he founded the company in 1973 with a small truck yard in Chatsworth, California. What began as a modest operation was built on a simple philosophy: treat customers fairly, work hard, and always keep your word. Through his vision, entrepreneurial spirit, and unwavering commitment to service, he laid the foundation for a business that would continue to grow across generations. Beyond his business accomplishments, Curt was a devoted family man whose greatest motivation was creating opportunities for those he loved. His legacy lives on not only through the company he built, but through the values of honesty, resilience, and hard work that continue to guide its operations today. More than fifty years after its founding, the company remains a testament to his vision and determination: a lasting reminder of what can be achieved through perseverance, courage, and a commitment to family.

Easy to work with
My experience with Sooner was nothing but incredible. During a period of time where my company was completely full with no more storage space; Sooner was the perfect solution. They always told me that they were a "hotel for Pallets" and that description fits them perfectly for the service provided for me. I will gladly use them again in the future when our storage capacity is full.
Our company, Bramidan US Inc, has been using Sooner Express for over a year now and I can honestly say their service is the best! Communication is top notch and customer satisfaction is their main concern. Really enjoy working with them!
This is a top-notch company. I have worked with several warehouses in the past and this experience has been by far the best. Taylor is my go-to guy there and gets it done no matter what. I have recently expanded to kitting my product at their facility and whatever my supply chain needs, their team gets it done. I have been very satisfied and am looking for ways to expand my business knowing that I have such a solid infrastructure. Highly recommend.
I have used Sooner Express as a logistics partner on several projects. Pat and Mark are terrific to work with and have always come through, even when given the tightest of deadlines.
I had a great customer service and no wait
Sooner Logistics are top notch, we have worked with them for over 3 years. Family owned and super professional. Haven't made a single mistake. Pat & his amazing kids are a pleasure to work with. If you care about your product being handled correctly, and on time. Then this is the company to work with. I highly recommend working with them.
I can highly recommend Sooner Logistics for any 3PL related services you might have. Whether it's handling my containers, storing pallets, or prepping outbound orders for my company... Sooner has done a stellar job. They are communicative and trustworthy... things I value highly since I work on the East coast and they are on the West!
Do yourself a favor and give these guys a shot before you look elsewhere.
Sooner Express has been handling our warehousing and transportation for about a year now. We sell waste and recycling equipment throughout the world and use Sooner for our Western (North America) regional sales base. The service has been great and we feel our products are treated properly and kept safe while in storage. The price is very reasonable and we receive full service usually reserved at other warehouses only for bigger players . Highly recommend.
