About POD Logistics
In 2019, we added our second terminal in Kansas City, MO. 2020 was a difficult year, but that didn't stop us from adding a new dispatch center in Dallas to serve the local Dallas area.
In Amarillo, we also offer 3PL and warehousing services in our 30,000 square foot warehouse with cold storage.
Meet The Team
Benjamin Ganz
President & CEO
In 2010 I joined AJ Hollander Enterprises as the Chief Operating Officer and one of my responsibilities was to manage the in-house trucking operations. At the time, we had three trucks, and we eventually had as many as ten trucks. In 2017, Gerardo approached me about opening a stand-alone trucking company. With my background in managing trucks and in dealing with intermodal shipments for our hide company, I thought it was a good idea. We have grown to 25 trucks in three years without any salesmen. That's because our philosophy is to offer good service at a fair price and let the sales take care of themselves. I feel very blessed to have been able to hire such great people to work with. They are the reason for our success.

I have worked for several state agencies for the past 20 years. I have been a commercial driver examiner. I have dealt with the IRP program for over 10 years and have over 7 years of experience of transferring titles. I’m excited to step into the position of being the Safety & Vehicle Coordinator. I grew up here in Texas and have lived in the suburbs of Chicago, the Tidewater area of Virginia, and overseas. Even though I am new to POD Logistics, I come with lots of excitement to learn this other side of the trucking industry. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to bring my areas of expertise to POD Logistics.
