Sibley Transportation – Bangor, Maine, Third-Party Logistics Provider
The history of Sibley & Sons Construction began in 1910 when Merle Howard Sibley hauled wood and food products with a horse and wagon. With the transition from horses to trucks in the late 20s and early 30s, Merle also began construction and gravel work. When Merle passed away in 1973, he left his company to his son Merle Douglas Sibley.
Merle Jr.’s son, Mark Sibley, took over the family business and incorporated Sibley & Sons Construction in 1992. In 1998, Mark’s son Marcus Sibley began working for Sibley & Sons. He eventually took the company over in 2010.
Marcus began their sister company, Sibley Transportation, Inc., that same year to expand his focus to transportation and warehousing. Since Marcus began Sibley Transportation in 2010, it has grown into a multi-million dollar company with goals of doubling in size over the next 2-3 years.
Marcus Sibley
Marcus graduated from the University of Maine in Orono with a B.S. in Construction Management Technology. He then took over Sibley & Sons Construction, his family-owned business. He began Sibley Transportation in 2010. As president, Marcus has spearheaded both companies’ success and is committed to growing relationships with current and future customers in Maine and throughout the continental United States.
TRUCKING
Whatever your transportation and trucking needs may be, Sibley Transportation is here for you. With the logistics market being competitive and margins being slim, it is essential to cut costs when possible. We can help you by streamlining the shipping of your product.
Our dedicated employees can assist you at every step, from logistics, tracking, and tracing to invoicing and proofs of delivery. Being a smaller company, we keep our operating overhead costs low. Therefore, we are able to offer you better rates than our competitors.
Our local fleet not only specializes in shuttle moves to and from our warehouse in Bangor, ME but can service any inner-state moves with very little notice. Our over-the-road fleet serves the continental U.S. with a 99% on-time delivery rate. Sibley Transportation drivers and staff are well trained in proper load securement and all highway safety regulations.
Your product will be delivered safely in the same condition that it left the shipper. Running newer equipment and paying fair wages gives us a low driver turnover. This creates a team-oriented environment and an atmosphere of caring for the company and the job at hand.
The drivers on our team care for our customers and know the importance of professional service. With dry vans, reefers, and flatbeds, we can fulfill your logistics and trucking needs. Our family-owned and operated company is eager to expand. We want to grow with you!

Let us be your storage and transportation solution!
When shipping goods, it’s always important to minimize movement. Pack crates or boxes as full
as possible, with heavier items on the bottom. If the crate is not filled, use packing material
to plug the empty spaces.
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.
