Below is our recent interview with Matt Yearling, CEO at YMX Logistics:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to your company?
A: YMX Logistics is a national leader in integrated yard logistics, offering a full suite of services, including gate operations, spotting and shuttling, trailer rentals, yard management technology, and network operations. We help the world’s largest retailers, manufacturers, and distributors optimize their most complex yard environments through high-performance operations, advanced technology, and sustainable practices.
Put simply, we help enterprise shippers load, unload, and move inventory in and out of their yards efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively, while aligning with broader operational and ESG goals.
Q: What makes you the best choice? How are you unique?
A: YMX stands out in three critical ways:
- Proven Expertise
Our team brings decades of experience across enterprise shippers, Silicon Valley innovators, and global consulting firms. We understand the yard from every angle: strategy, execution, and transformation, and consistently deliver measurable outcomes while lowering the total cost of operations. - Proprietary Yard Operating System
We’re neither a legacy yard outsourced service provider nor a standalone tech provider. YMX combines people, process, equipment, and technology into a unified system: YMX OS. This proprietary framework powers hundreds of operations across North America, improving labor and asset utilization, optimizing processes, increasing safety, and supporting sustainability initiatives like EV truck deployment. - Enterprise-Centric Model
We serve enterprise customers exclusively. We speak their language, align with their KPIs, and design solutions around what matters most, from labor performance and network consistency to environmental impact and total cost reduction. Our partnerships are built on trust, transparency, and long-term value creation.
Q: Who is your ideal client and why?
A: Our ideal client is a mid-to-large enterprise shipper with complex yard, warehouse, and transportation operations, especially those in food and beverage, CPG manufacturing, retail distribution, or any industry with a high-volume network of distribution centers or manufacturing plants.
Billions of dollars in inventory move through yard operations daily, yet many remain disconnected from broader supply chain strategies. We specialize in helping organizations close that gap and turn the yard into a competitive advantage.
Q: What can we expect from you in the next 6 months?
A: Over the next six months, we’re expanding our footprint to serve customers across 20 key states. We’re also enhancing the YMX OS framework with new capabilities, accelerating EV yard truck programs, and deepening technology and logistics partnerships to meet the growing demand for fully integrated, sustainable yard logistics solutions.
Q: What is something people might not know about your company?
A: One of YMX’s most powerful secret sauces is our leadership team. We’re a group of seasoned industry veterans, and each one brings deep domain expertise, from enterprise operations to technology to transportation strategy. We came together with a shared vision: to define a new standard in enterprise yard operations.
