About Us
The Transporter Inc. is a family-owned and operated trucking company founded out of Houston in May 1988. With branches in Houston, Dallas, and Laredo, Texas, we offer a wide range of logistics services with an emphasis on intermodal drayage services.
For over 34 years, we have served customers by providing local freight shipping solutions that are backed by our expert in-house team and network of professional drivers. Together, our team focuses on one simple mission: delivering your cargo safely and on time.
From sales, drivers, to dispatch, delivery, and the billing process. We've built our business by providing superior service throughout your experience:
Our dispatchers are professional and courteous, employing an efficient dispatch process overseen by knowledgeable, disciplined staff.
Our drivers are the best in the business and are committed to safety and efficiency. Together, we work to put your needs above our own.
Safety: Our franchise to operate.
We have a thorough and stringent selection process for our drivers. We closely monitor their driving habits, driving records, and efficiency of deliveries. Consistent inspections are conducted and mandated safety training is provided, in addition to random drug and alcohol testing programs, audits of DOT, drivers’ logs, and compliances.
All Transporter Inc. trucks are equipped with the latest technology in safety, alongside ELDs (electronic logging devices) synchronizing with the vehicle engine to automatically record driving time for accurate hours of service (HOS) recording.
On top of providing safety training for all drivers, our safety department not only monitors HOS but also any harsh braking and speeding events are captured on camera, and alerts are immediately sent to the safety department for analysis. Real-time driver coaching is used with video backup to educate our drivers on improving their driving habits.
As we continue to grow, we review the latest safety products, methodologies, and equipment as they become available so that we can improve our ability to perform the job safely and efficiently.
