Trinity Logistics, a leading, nationwide third-party logistics provider (3PL), is pleased to announce the appointment of Klaus Luhta as In-House Counsel. Luhta, who has served as a Freight Agent with Trinity Logistics for almost five years, transitions into this vital role with a wealth of experience and legal wisdom.  

In his tenure as a Freight Agent, Luhta demonstrated exceptional skills in contract negotiation, risk management, and compliance. His ability to navigate complex legal matters has been a significant asset to Trinity. His legal career is marked by his previous roles as Chief of Staff, Director of Government Regulations, and Attorney specializing in maritime law. He holds a law degree from Cleveland State University and is a licensed attorney.

“I wanted to get back to the practice of law,” said Luhta. “I learned all the parts of the logistics business during my time as a Freight Agent and felt like I could combine that knowledge with my legal expertise to help make a difference at Trinity.” 

“Trinity was looking for a quality individual to serve as our In-House Counsel over the past few years, and then we found the perfect candidate in Klaus,” said Doug Potvin, Chief Financial Officer. “His background in transportation including his ownership of a trucking company and acting as a former Freight Agent brings experience to our Team from a perspective of risk, legalities, and negotiations, which will benefit Trinity tremendously over the years to come.”

As In-House Counsel, Klaus is passionate about contributing to Trinity’s growth and success. He aims to provide robust legal support, offering practical solutions and fostering a culture of compliance and ethical behavior. His focus will be on building and maintaining strong relationships with key stakeholders across all levels of the organization, ensuring that legal risks are identified and mitigated effectively. 

“Years ago, when I visited the Trinity offices for the first time as a Freight Agent, I met Sarah and the Team, and I knew I would be working with this company in some capacity for a long time,” continued Luhta. “There is nothing like this anywhere. I don’t know if people realize how lucky we are, and I am happy and grateful to be here with this Team, at this time, forging history in the most exciting sector of the transportation industry.”

Klaus’s extensive background and commitment to excellence make him a perfect fit for this role. Trinity Logistics looks forward to the continued success and growth that Luhta’s expertise will bring to the company.
