HWC Logistics is a trucking company in College Park, GA, located at 2929 Roosevelt Hwy. It holds a rating of 4.10 based on customer reviews. The company provides distribution, warehousing, transportation, and import and export services.

The business traces its roots to 1950s New Orleans, where Dick Owens envisioned international trade's role in the American business landscape. After working as a janitor at a Jax Brewery plant, Owens moved to Chicago to become a licensed Customs House Broker. In 1957, he opened Airsped, Inc., becoming the first Customs Broker to open an office at Old Orchard Airport, later O’Hare International. He retired in 1984, leaving a legacy as the longest-serving President of the Chicago Brokers Association.

In 1981, Dick’s son, Mike Owens, started Hartsfield Warehouse Co., Inc. in Atlanta with a Dodge Van. Named after the airport, the company grew from a 200-square-foot office to an industry-leading provider with over 500,000 square feet of warehouse space. The transportation fleet now numbers 50 power units serving the Southeast. In 2012, after acquiring Cargo Services of Atlanta, the company changed its name to HWC Logistics.

Services include trans-loading, cross-docking, and value-added storage. The warehouse does not operate forklifts inside straight trucks or box trucks.
