Our Fleet
Box Trucks (3)
Our box trucks are ideal for just-in-time (JIT) deliveries, moving work-in-progress (WIP) between local facilities, and transporting finished products to consumers without needing a full semi-truck.
24' Flatbed Trailers (3) and 53' Semi Flatbed Trailer (1)
Our flatbed trailers are built for heavy, oversized, or awkwardly shaped cargo that can't fit into an enclosed trailer. They allow flexible loading and unloading from the sides or above using cranes and forklifts.
Enclosed Tractor Trailers (6)
Our enclosed tractor trailers move raw materials and finished goods safely, protecting heavy cargo from rain, wind, and theft.
Conestoga Trailers
Our Conestoga trailers combine a flatbed frame with a built-in, sliding tarp system — ideal for shipping oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped equipment that can't fit inside a standard dry van, while still keeping delicate parts and machinery safe from rain, road debris, and dirt.
