Customer Spotlight: BS Xpress – Driving Excellence Since 1989
Since 1989, BS Xpress has been on the move—delivering freight across the continental U.S. with a personal touch and a professional edge. Based in St. Joseph, Missouri, the company has grown into one of the most trusted names in the transportation industry. With a team of 45–50 drivers, BS Xpress covers the lower 48 states, specializing in time-sensitive and temperature-controlled shipments, including a significant volume of veterinary supplies.
What sets BS Xpress apart is their family-oriented culture paired with an uncompromising commitment to quality and reliability. They take pride in taking care of their team, their customers, and the freight they haul—knowing that every delivery matters.
Trusted Partnership with CSTK and Thermo King
To ensure their temperature-controlled shipments arrive in perfect condition, BS Xpress relies on CSTK for their Thermo King refrigeration solutions. From preventative maintenance and repairs to full reefer trailer outfitting, CSTK helps keep their fleet running smoothly and efficiently.
BS Xpress’s reefer trailers are equipped with Thermo King units, a key part of their promise to deliver safely and on time. The partnership with CSTK gives them confidence on the road, backed by responsive service, advanced technology, and the durability that Thermo King is known for.
“We love CSTK and Thermo King,” says Bart Brant, owner of BS Xpress. “I’ve been using TK for more than 35 years. The units are more durable and longer lasting than anything else on the market. And Rick Arnold over at CSTK is a great salesman. He’s not pushy and he doesn’t BS me. He does a good job of taking care of us.”
Making a Statement: The New “Ford GT” Rig
BS Xpress has a tradition of making each truck distinctive, giving their drivers not just a tool for the job, but a rig they can be proud of. Their latest build takes this idea to the next level with a custom “Ford GT”-inspired paint job—a sleek and sporty design paying homage to the iconic racing car.
“At the end of the day, I just love trucks,” Bart explains. “I like to make each one different, put a different twist on it. I still take great pride in our trucks, and I like our drivers to take pride in them too. I’ve got 20 guys here that have been driving with us for over 15 years. Whatever I can do to make them happy, I’ll do it. And this Ford GT design is a part of that. You’ll know it’s BS Xpress when it comes down the road.”
The truck’s unique livery instantly turns heads and reflects BS Xpress’s bold, forward-thinking approach to trucking. The driver behind the wheel not only loved the design, but also praised the Thermo King Tripac unit installed by CSTK, which provides efficient auxiliary power and comfort during downtime.
At CSTK, we’re proud to support BS Xpress with industry-leading products and service, and we’re excited to see where the road takes them next.
