Today Reed Trucking Company is a 3rd and 4th generation owned business. Upon incorporation in 1937 Beulah and Ralph Reed were on their way to building a trucking legacy. The company’s roots were planted on 522 Chestnut St. in Milton Delaware where the operation remains 85 years later.
TODAY
Currently we operate 44 tractors and 90 trailers. We take pride in saying that all of the maintenance done on Reed Trucking equipment takes place on premises. Our office is staffed 24hrs a day. Our staffing schedules allow us to support our 44 over the road drivers at any point of their trip.
In the fall of 2005 Reed Trucking expanded their expertise into the LTL business. This allows us to service smaller amounts of freight through cross docking, being more cost effective. The merger between our LTL and truck load services allow us to fully serve the Mid – Atlantic & Northeast regions.

In turn, our customers receive the most reliable and efficient service in the refrigerated freight industry today.

President
SHIPPING SERVICES
We equip all of our tractors with the latest technology, our GPS system enables our dispatchers to track shipments from beginning to end, 24 hours a day.
Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
All loose items must be packed in boxes to prevent loss or damage while moving. It is
recommended that you pack all items and leave the drawers empty.
