Kaplan Trucking has been a leader in steel hauling since 1934. That year, Kaplan was incorporated and received one of the first operating authorities in the United States that is still in use (ICC MC-2304). We are a stable organization in a constantly changing industry. While other companies have come and gone, Kaplan has remained strong for more than eight decades.
As one of the industry’s oldest, most experienced flatbed trucking companies, we have continually met the transportation needs of all the major steel mills, steel processors and other industrial companies. In addition to steel, many companies rely on our flatbed trucking services for a variety of commodities, including aluminum, pipe, machinery, building products and more.
Kaplan operates more than 700 trucks and 70 terminals throughout the eastern United States and Texas, with representatives on hand in every major area to handle your transportation needs.
We are proud of the care we take with each load and with every customer. As some of the most experienced, skilled flatbed operators on the road, Kaplan drivers will deliver your load on time and claim free.

If you have goods that are sensitive to climate conditions (produce, flowers, chocolate, etc.), you
will want to consider temperature controlled shipping. Freight service providers will assist you
throughout the process.
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.
