Mercer Transportation

We Are Mercer Transportation
Since 1977, we’ve shipped freight across North America with an emphasis on quality service and on-time delivery. Trusted by the DoD and Fortune 500 customers from coast to coast, yet nimble enough to meet the needs of the smallest of businesses. Mercer Transportation has become one of the largest flatbed, heavy specialized, and dry van carriers in the nation, and the success of our owner-operators proves it!

About Mercer
Founded in 1977, Mercer Transportation has grown from one truck to one of the largest and most recognized fleets in North America. Over the decades, we’ve earned the respect of contractors and customers through service and safe practices. As an irregular route carrier, we have expanded our capabilities from our roots as a flatbed carrier, to OD loads and cross-border shipments and now to a large dry van carrier. All the while, we have remained flexible to meet the needs of our customers and our owner-operators.

BY THE NUMBERS
With over 4,000,000,000 miles driven and 4,000,000 loads delivered, our trucking company currently handles around 250,000 loads a year. The 300 support staff and 100 independent agents are critical, but we couldn’t move a single load without our owner-operators. Our diverse customer base is served by a network of over 2,200 trucks and 30,000 approved carriers.

Equipment to Meet Your Needs
The Mercer Transportation fleet moves everything from military equipment to HVAC units and raw materials. With a vast array of modern equipment to meet all your shipping needs from flatbeds and step decks to specialized trailers or dry vans, you can count on Mercer to provide you with the right truck and the right trailer go deliver your shipment safely and on time. We take pride in having a diverse owner operator fleet to meet your shipping needs.
