Spring has officially sprung its way into Windmill 🌸🚚

As the spring shipping surge keeps our team moving, we took a moment to slow down, fire up the grill, and enjoy some long-awaited Michigan sunshine together. From busy days on the floor to team BBQ's - this season is all about fresh energy, good company, and rolling into spring... The Windmill way.

Meet Windmill's newest additions 👏

We have officially welcomed our 2026 Summer Interns to the Windmill crew! Throughout their time with us, they'll be working hands-on in specialized departments across the company, gaining real-world experience, building industry knowledge, and learning what it takes to keep supply chains moving forward. We're eager to see how they learn and grow, and we're looking forward to seeing everything they accomplish at WMT this summer 🚛📚

Today we remember the selfless heroes who gave their lives for our country. The brave men and women who never made it back home, their families who carry their legacy, today we honor you. Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the courage, bravery, and sacrifice of those who fought to protect our freedom - may their impact live on forever.

This Memorial Day, we encourage you to take a moment to pause, reflect, and remember those who gave everything for our nation.

Paws what you’re doing 🐾 It’s time to meet the best part of the Windmill crew!

In honor of National Pet Month, we’re showing off the teammates that keep us smiling through the good times and the ruff times. Whether they’re expert nap-takers, treat negotiators, or unofficial office assistants, these companions are a big part of our team, and they deserve to be celebrated every day 🐶😺🐍😊

Spring cleaning looks a little different at Windmill… 🫧

While we can’t clean your house or wash your truck, we CAN help clean up your supply chain. From delayed shipments to inefficient routing to lack of visibility, logistics clutter can slow your business down, fast. By pairing our advanced technology with our proactive operational support, Windmill will help reduce friction across your transportation process - Giving you a supply chain you can count on.

Give us a call to find out how you can clean up your supply chain, and keep your freight moving forward. 🚛

MAY we have your attention please... Help us celebrate our May MVPs! 📣👏

These three have made a lasting impact on our team, each in their own way - Whether they’ve been at Windmill for 7 years or 5 months, day in and day out, they show up ready to support the team, solve problems, and keep things moving. We’re grateful to have people like this representing Windmill every single day.

A few of us had the privilege of volunteering in the Michigan West Coast Chamber of Commerce's Community Impact Day yesterday – We spent the afternoon with Harbor Humane Society's Pet Food Pantry helping feed animals across west Michigan🐾

We had a paw-some time giving back to our local community, and we're already looking forward to what Community Impact Day 2027 has in store for us!

Protecting our customer’s freight is always going to be a top priority. That’s why every carrier in our network has undergone a thorough and strict vetting process. Having a reliable network means that your freight is protected and safe from disruptions, such as the CVSA International Roadcheck this week. See what Windmill’s Compliance Manager, Brendan Mitchell, has to say about the importance of compliance when seasonal spikes occur:

"As produce season ramps up and freight volumes begin to climb, compliance becomes more important than ever. Our Compliance department is working to ensure carriers are vetted, monitored, and ready to support our customers through the busy season ahead. From carrier onboarding and verification to fraud prevention and operational oversight, compliance plays a critical role in keeping freight moving safely and efficiently during peak shipping periods. Peak season isn’t just about capacity, it’s about partnering with carriers who prioritize communication, accountability, and security, every step of the way." – Brendan Mitchell, Compliance Manager
