Central Pennsylvania Transportation
ABOUT US
Central Penn Transportation is a family-owned business headquartered in Lancaster, PA. Matt Rhoads serves as the second-generation president running the day-to-day operations. He continues to carry out the family tradition and values instilled by his father, Chic Rhoads. When Chic started the company in 1985 with three used trucks, he saw the need for a short-haul truckload carrier in Central Pennsylvania. That vision has grown to a fleet of over 100 trucks.
Perhaps we are old-fashioned in our approach to business because we value relationships and personal contact. From a customer’s perspective, we are not simply a means to deliver freight but an active participant in your operation. The term “partner” is often overused but is an accurate description of our role with many customers. From an employee’s perspective you are treated with respect. That translates to an environment where your ideas and performance are appreciated.
As a transportation and logistics leader of regional truckload freight delivery for over 34 years, we understand and appreciate the value of service. We are committed to delivering your product safely and on time.
With a fleet of over 100 trucks, Central Penn is strategically positioned in Lancaster, PA; Robesonia; PA and Hazleton, PA, affording us the opportunity to access all the major shipping corridors of the Central Atlantic region. Our professional and courteous dispatchers and company drivers will serve as an extension of your logistics supply chain. Our team brings a wealth of experience which will translate to peace of mind for you as our customer.

How do I prepare my appliances for moving?
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
How do I get an estimate?
Once you have compiled a list of movers, inform them of the destination and timing of your
move. Ask them about the types of services they offer. Also ask them to explain their
estimates in detail and to give you a copy. If any company refuses to give you a written
estimate, you should eliminate them from consideration. Then carefully compare to see which
mover best suits your needs and budget.
The cost of your move will be based on the actual weight of your belongings and the distance
they are shipped, plus the amount of packing and other services that you require.
To help you anticipate the cost of your move, movers will give you an estimate of the price.
Be sure to get written estimates from at least 3 different movers so that you can compare
their services and prices.
