Aloha!
Welcome to Yamashiro Trucking
Yamashiro Trucking began operations as a small dump trucking company in 1957. Ed Yamashiro, founder, began with the same entrepreneurial “Yes, We Can!” spirit that is at the core of Yamashiro’s values today.
Ed, with his sons and daughters, grew the business with typical start up challenges into one of largest trucking companies in Oahu. With the passing of Ed Yamashiro in 2005, Aaron Yamashiro became the president of the company. Aaron Yamashiro, who wears many hats, has been working with Ed since the 1960’s as vice president, controller, and a driver as well.
We always strive to improve our service to the time-sensitive customers in virtually every transportation environment. Through constant reinvestment in the business and formation of strategic relationships, Yamashiro Trucking distinguishes itself as a leader in providing customers with the very best in quality customer service.
We care for the safety of our drivers, our customers’ cargo, and
for the Hawaii community.

The bill of lading (BOL) acts as an invoicing receipt in the shipping industry, and with many
motor carriers, the BOL is the contract of carriage between that motor carrier and the shipper.
It includes important information related to the shipment such as addresses, packaging type,
freight class, description of the goods and any special instructions.
There are 18 freight classes. They are determined by weight, dimensions, density, storage capability,
ease of handling, value and liability from instances like theft, damage, breakability and spoilage.
To help you determine freight class, we’ve developed a freight density calculator.
