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
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 NEVER post reviews online but wanted to take the time to post about Patrick and the entire support team at Sooner Express. We started working with Patrick when the time came to find additional warehousing options for some of our dead inventory and slower moving product. Patrick helped to facilitate the movement of nearly 100 pallets to his facility with ease. From the moment we contacted Sooner they have been nothing but responsive, professional and most important, reliable. That reliability was put to the test this week. With the happening of Covid, our business, like so many others, had come to a standstill. As businesses are finally starting to come back, we received an order for one of our very slow-moving products. I got in touch with Patrick and let him know I needed the product ASAP. Patrick personally took it upon himself to not only pull the product for us but went so far as to drop it off at our warehouse that very day. During a time when businesses need all the help they can get, it’s great to know that our partners at Sooner are there for us.
I had a great customer service and no wait
Sooner Team - I want to thank all of you again for the exceptional service you have provided to my company for the three years we have been working together. I knew from our first meeting that choosing Sooner to be our 3PL would be the right choice. And you have proven time and time again that this choice was the correct one. Keep up the great work! For many more years to come! Best, Darryl Trapp, TOL, Inc.
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.
Sooner Logistics has been and continues to be a valued supplier and works hand in hand with our organization (WEN) daily to ensure our needs are met. I cannot say enough positive about the team, led by Pat, and the support they provide. We're going on our Ten Year Anniversary with them.
I have had the opportunity to work with Sooner Express, Pat and Mark in particular, over the past 6 months and I am thoroughly impressed with their experience, professionalism and commitment to customer service. Their staff and facility are top notch and to top it off, they are nice guys and a pleasure to work with.
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.
