About 6th Street Logistics
Welcome to 6th Street Logistics, a proudly woman-run, family-owned trucking company based in the heart of Willmar, Minnesota. Born out of a decades old trucking legacy and a dream to start a family business, 6th Street Logistics began in 2021 with a single refurbished truck and has since grown to four semi-trucks and beyond.
With a deep-rooted commitment to excellence and a passion for the transportation industry, we specialize in refrigerated trucking, ensuring your goods are delivered fresh and on time.
About Krista
Krista Nehk has over twenty years of experience in the industry. Prior to owning 6th Street Logistics, she grew up in a trucking family, seeing the inner-workings of the business first hand. Now a respected figure in the trucking community, Nehk has partnered with her husband and a dedicated team, many of whom she has worked alongside for years, to start this new venture.
A retired lieutenant from the local volunteer firefighter corps, Krista's commitment to service and leadership extends beyond her professional life. She is also a loving mother and grandmother, balancing her family responsibilities with the demands of running a successful business. Krista's expertise, dedication, and collaborative spirit have been instrumental in building a company that values hard work, reliability, and community.
About Chris
Chris Nehk's journey in the world of transportation began in 2003 when he first got behind the wheel of a truck. With a passion for the open road, Chris quickly accumulated over a million miles, showcasing his dedication and commitment to the profession. His experience and expertise did not go unnoticed, and in 2016, he was invited to step into an office role as a Fleet Manager and shifted towards advocating for drivers' rights and ensuring equality within the transportation industry.
In 2021, Chris, alongside Krista, took a significant step towards expanding their presence in the transportation industry by purchasing their first truck for just $2,500. With his extensive knowledge and hands-on skills, Chris and a team of supporters repaired the truck, laying the foundation for their burgeoning business.
