About Us
In 1976 co-owner Duane Geiselman had the CB handle as the “Furnas County Freight Hauler”. He started as an over the road trucker but seemed to always have his eye on being a dispatcher. For the next 20 years Duane worked for several companies as a dispatcher. In 2006 co-owner Jamie Stewart started as a driver hauling for Duane and eventually made the leap from driver to dispatcher.
In early 2007, sensing opportunity, Duane and Jamie tossed around the idea of starting their own brokerage, and as they say, the rest is history. September 2007 was the first month of business, and growth has been steady ever since. It became necessary to add two additional dispatchers to the team. Gary TenBensel and Roger Geiselman are former drivers that add additional depth to how we work with drivers.
All Dispatchers are former drivers that giving us an interesting perspective into how your loads should be handled. If you’re an owner operator, or trucking company, we’ve been in the trenches before and understand how to treat you, with the respect you deserve.
Vickie Geiselman handles the accounting and book-keeping for Furnas County Freight Haulers.
In 2009 Nick Geiselman joined Furnas County Freight Haulers LLC. He began in Book-keeping and in 2012 he joined the Dispatching team. Learning from Duane, Gary and Roger.

Great question and something our team of experts can help you determine. LTL is typically ideal for
freight shipments larger than parcel or small package, but short of the space required of a
full truckload shipments. However, other factors like distance and value may play into the decision.
FTL stands for Full Truckload. A shipment that is over 10,000lb or takes up an entire truck by
itself is considered Full Truckload. One of the main characteristic of an FTL Services is that it
will take your shipment on a long haul, making one trip from point A to Point B without transferring
the cargo.
LTL stands for Less Than Truckload. If you have 200 pounds of freight to transport, you’ve got an LTL
shipment. It takes just a section of the truck and the cargo is safely consolidated with other shipments
that may be picked up and distributed in the same area.
