Since 2006, Green Transportation has been driving the transportation industry toward a higher standard of sustainability through innovative shipping methods, open communication and excellent workplace safety.
By almost any measure, starting a trucking company during 2006 had the potential to become a financial disaster once the Great Recession hit. To compound the situation for Green Transportation the state of Michigan’s economy plummeted faster and deeper than others.
The story of Green Transportation’s survival and transition to a thriving, well-oiled machine is worth telling for both employees and company owners alike. The shrinking post-recession labor pool, stagnant economic growth, and increasing driver shortage posed other challenges that continue to be a drag on the industry to this day.
Drawing upon his deep roots in the trucking industry dating back to his father’s life-long career, our founder identified a need for a more efficient transportation approach to servicing 6 western states, Texas and Florida. In cooperation with a premium carrier, we set out to provide Michigan manufacturers and distributors with better service at a lower cost than anyone else. Green Transportation now serves 38 states on backhauls and handles a wide variety of loads.
Green Transportation’s mission of providing a higher standard of service begins with the Road Pilot. To help fill the need of qualified drivers, we started a driver finishing school in 2009. Recruitment includes leading CDL schools, experienced drivers and prospects from outside the industry. What they will find is a program that we believe to be unique in the industry. Standards are set high in order to give Green Transportation’s customers the best possible service, while providing the Road Pilots with greater compensation, benefits, and perks for maintaining those standards.

Ideal for full-truckload and less-than-truckload (LTL) products that do not need temperature control such as clothes, electronics, bikes, etc.
Best for loose cargo like boxes, crates, etc.
Not for oversized or overweight products.

Excellent customer service
Freight service providers offer tracking services online to access a shipment’s status 24/7
from your computer or mobile device. You can track a shipment with a BOL number, but you can often
access the shipment’s location with the pro number, PO number, shipment reference number and shipment
number as well.
Full truckload (TL) is generally best suited for those looking to move more than 15,000 pounds,
or enough to justify the entire use of a semi-trailer. If you’re looking to ship more than 150 pounds
of freight, but less than 15,000, less than truckload (LTL) might be the best choice. Getting items
quickly from one point to another may call for expedited shipping services. Intermodal shipping uses
multiple modes of transportation and is great for long distances between metro areas.
