Buchanan Mission and Values
A Letter from Geary Buchanan
"Thank you for visiting our Web site and taking a moment to learn about our company.
My wife and I have been incredibly blessed by this company and everyone that has made, and continues to make, it what it is. Honestly, I dreamed that one day it would be a $300+ million dollar company and we have surpassed that by far as we continue to grow. Becky & I are thankful for each and every person that has helped us build this dream.
Buchanan Hauling & Rigging was built on the notion that continued hard work would pay off - and it has. Today, our mission statement is still based on this concept. Our logos, trailers and truck doors state that Buchanan is “setting the standard for safety one mile at a time.” And we stand by this. Safety is non-negotiable at Buchanan.
Becky & I have 18 grandchildren. Our desire is for them to grow into successful adults who value integrity, respect, collaboration, and strive for excellence- always. Savanna, Katherine, Joey, Johnny, Elizabeth, Jimmy, Nolan, Gwen, Connor, Oliver, Eloise, Abram, Chase, Henry, Madelyn, Cora, Abigail, and Ali -- we hope you that you can see that anything is possible if you work hard and treat people right.
Get To Work,"
Geary Buchanan
Leading the Way in Safety and Service in Trucking
At Buchanan Hauling & Rigging, Inc. (BH&R), our mission is clear: to be the most trusted heavy haul and freight transportation partner in North America. Our values anchor everything we do. With specialized equipment, an experienced professional team, advanced technology, and a relentless drive for safety and reliability, we deliver freight solutions that support your project, your production line, your machine move, on time, every time.
Our mission: Freight excellence across every mile
We serve shippers who demand more than a basic trucking company. Whether you need heavy haul trucking of oversized, overweight equipment; flatbed freight shipping of steel beams or construction equipment; dry van or flatbed transport of retail or industrial cargo; or expedited freight services requiring time‑sensitive delivery, BH&R stands ready. Operating across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, our mission is to deliver with precision, transparency, and trust.
Our customers rely on fleet capabilities that include specialized trailers for loads up to 500,000 pounds, experienced drivers, 24/7 dispatch and real‑time tracking, and service that meets the highest standards. For example, our Heavy Haul Division uses multi‑axle removable goosenecks (RGNs), steerable dollies, and dedicated route planning to move a 19‑axle oversized load across state lines. That level of expertise reflects our mission in action. See this transport
We believe quoting a rate is just the first step. The real promise is controlling the journey from pickup to delivery, covering every detail from overweight permitting and route surveys to secure load tie‑down and post‑shipment confirmation. With BH&R, you gain a logistics partner keenly aware that freight isn’t just “moved” – it must arrive safely, on schedule and intact.
Values that define us
- DETERMINATION is the driving force that fuels our efforts to successfully accomplish our objectives.
- INTEGRITY starts with a commitment to honesty and transparency in everything we do, even when it’s difficult.
- SAFETY is creating an atmosphere of security, respect, and leading by example to follow regulations, standards, and best practices applicable to our industry. Read an article about Buchanan's dedication to safety.
- COMMUNITY enables us to connect with people and make a difference in the lives of those who live in the community we serve.
