Freight Transportation Services
The Buchanan Advantage
Buchanan Hauling & Rigging, Inc. provides asset-based freight transportation services for businesses shipping across the continental United States. Since 1996, we have grown from one truck and two trailers into a national carrier with more than 200 power units and more than 900 trailers supporting a wide range of freight needs.
Our freight hauling services include dry van, flatbed, expedited, specialized, and heavy haul transportation. This range of equipment gives shippers options for everything from standard full truckload freight to oversized, overweight, time-sensitive, and unusually configured shipments.
Buchanan combines company equipment, experienced drivers, transportation planning, maintenance support, shipment visibility, and direct communication to help customers keep freight moving. Learn more about our mission and family values or explore our operating locations.
Dry Van and Flatbed Freight Transportation
Buchanan provides dry van and flatbed trucking for a wide range of commercial freight. Dry van trailers offer enclosed transportation for palletized products, packaged goods, manufacturing materials, consumer products, and other freight that needs protection from weather and road conditions.
Flatbed transportation provides open deck access for freight that is better loaded from the side or overhead. Machinery, steel, building materials, equipment, and other large or irregularly shaped freight can be matched with standard flatbeds, step decks, and other open deck configurations based on shipment requirements.
- Dry Van: Enclosed 53 foot trailers for standard truckload freight and products requiring protection during transit.
- Flatbed: Open deck equipment for machinery, steel, construction materials, equipment, and freight requiring flexible loading access.
- Shipment Visibility: Tracking and communication help customers stay informed from pickup through delivery.
- Nationwide Reach: Transportation support across major freight lanes throughout the continental United States.

Expedited Freight Transportation
When production schedules, customer commitments, inventory shortages, or other business needs make time a priority, Buchanan provides expedited freight transportation designed around the shipment's required delivery schedule.
Expedited service can support urgent manufacturing components, replacement equipment, high priority commercial freight, and other shipments that require dedicated attention. Our operations team reviews the freight, origin, destination, equipment requirements, and delivery window to determine an appropriate transportation plan.
Learn more about our expedited freight transportation services for time-sensitive shipments.
Specialized Freight Transportation
Some freight requires additional planning because of its dimensions, handling requirements, regulations, or equipment needs. Buchanan's specialized transportation services support freight that may not fit standard dry van or flatbed transportation.
Depending on the shipment, specialized freight planning can involve equipment selection, securement requirements, permits, routing, regulatory considerations, and coordination at pickup or delivery.
Visit our specialized freight transportation page to learn more about our capabilities for over-dimensional, regulated, and unique freight.
Heavy Haul Trucking
Buchanan provides heavy haul trucking for oversized, overweight, and complex freight that requires specialized equipment and additional transportation planning. Projects can include industrial machinery, construction equipment, tanks, transformers, energy equipment, infrastructure components, and other large freight.
Our heavy haul capabilities include specialized trailer configurations such as RGNs, multi-axle equipment, low deck trailers, perimeter frames, and other equipment selected according to the dimensions, weight, loading conditions, and route requirements of the freight.
Heavy haul transportation may also require oversize or overweight permits, route planning, route surveys, escort coordination, and additional project preparation.

3PL Managed Logistics
Some transportation programs require more than a single truck or trailer. Buchanan's 3PL managed logistics capabilities can support businesses that need additional freight coordination, capacity planning, carrier management, shipment visibility, and transportation oversight.
Managed logistics can be useful for recurring freight, changing capacity requirements, multiple transportation modes, seasonal volume, or operations that need additional support coordinating freight across a larger network.
Learn more about our 3PL managed logistics services and how they can support broader transportation requirements.
Freight Transportation Built Around Your Shipment
The right transportation service depends on the freight. Dimensions, weight, commodity, loading method, delivery requirements, schedule, origin, destination, and special handling needs can all affect the equipment and transportation plan.
Buchanan's range of asset-based freight transportation services allows our team to review those requirements and match the shipment with an appropriate solution. Customers can work with Buchanan for standard dry van freight, open deck transportation, urgent shipments, specialized freight, and demanding heavy haul projects without treating every load the same way.
