Saltchuk Sharing stories of the hard working People of Saltchuk, those dedicated to making Saltchuk companies

Saltchuk is a diversified family of transportation and distribution companies headquartered in Seattle. With consolidated revenue of nearly $3 billion and approximately 7,500 employees, Saltchuk is ranked among the largest privately held businesses in Washington. Saltchuk companies provide air cargo, domestic shipping and logistics, international shipping and logistics, marine services, petroleum

distribution and trucking services throughout North America. We believe in–and champion–the inherent value of our companies’ individual brands. The Corporate Home provides leadership and resources to our companies, but not direct management of their operations. We do, however, provide integrated leadership in finance, human resources, risk management and internal audit. A primary function of the Corporate Home is to deploy capital and manage debt. Although the company has grown considerably since its’ founding in 1982, the Corporate Home employs about 50 people and has retained the collegial and entrepreneurial culture of a much smaller organization. Saltchuk is a values-driven organization, committed to safety and taking care of its employees, communities and the environment.
