Buchanan Hauling transports a girder to be used in highway and road bridge construction.

Shippers today demand more than capacity. They want control, accountability, and a carrier that understands freight from planning through delivery. That is why asset-based trucking companies continue to outperform broker-only models across retail freight transportation, specialized freight transport, and heavy haul trucking.

Buchanan Hauling and Rigging, Inc. has earned its reputation as a trusted asset-based trucking company by owning its equipment, employing experienced professionals, and operating with Midwest reliability that supports national freight needs.

What Asset-Based Trucking Means for Your Business

An asset-based freight carrier operates its own fleet, employs its own drivers, and manages freight directly. This structure reduces handoffs, improves communication, and delivers consistent service across dry van trucking, flatbed trucking, specialized freight transport, and heavy haul services.

Buchanan’s asset-based model provides:

  • Direct accountability for every shipment
  • Reliable capacity even during tight freight markets
  • Improved safety and freight handling
  • Long-term transportation partnerships instead of transactional brokerage
