ABOUT US
Niece Trucking is a family run business that has its heart in Central Iowa. As we focus on growth and expansion, the roots of the business is still the employees that call Niece Trucking, family.

Company History
What began in 1994 with a single pickup truck and a contract for delivering the Wall Street Journal, has taken founder Ken Niece down a successful road that now encompasses a variety of long-haul transports, including pharmaceuticals, US mail, tires, and more, all across the United States.

Niece Trucking is a family run business that has its heart in Central Iowa. Joining their dad, Jon (2010) and Daniel (2014) reinforced the family legacy to make this Niece father-son business what it is today. In the last 28 years, Niece Trucking has grown to more than 170 power units, covering all makes and models of Volvo, Western Stars and Freightliners, as well as over 350 flat beds, dry vans and reefer units.

Q What are the differences between FTL Services and LTL Services?

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.

Q How can I avoid adjustments?

Adjustments can be costly, but can mostly be avoided with accurate information.
Common adjustments occur around oversized items (more than 12 feet in length), lift-gates,
limited delivery access, residential fees, reclassifications and changes to the bill of lading.
