In October 1987 TransAm
Trucking, based in Kansas City, Missouri hauled the
first load of freight from the Midwest to the East Coast. The
company started as a refrigerated truckload carrier with 70
tractors and 100 refrigerated trailers. In 1990 the company
outgrew the office and shop facility in Missouri and moved
across the state line to Olathe, Kansas. In 1998 we were on
the move again, this time 2 blocks away to a newly constructed
office and shop facility located on 40 acres of land. In 2005 TransAm expanded to the
Dallas, TX area opening a new terminal and adding an additional
250 power units.
With an emphasis on steady, controlled growth, TransAm Trucking is one of the top carriers in the country today. Highly respected in the industry, TransAm has more than 1200 tractors and over 2400 refrigerated trailers. We have terminals in Olathe, KS (Kansas City) and Rockwall, TX (Dallas) as well as a dedicated fleet based in North Carolina. Our successful growth can be attributed to the founding philosophy that has guided the company since its inception. That philosophy is based on dedicating all of the resources of the company – the people, equipment and technology – to the customer. TransAm is continually looking for new and better ways to identify and meet our customer’s needs while living by three important rules: Do what it is right, treat people like we want to be treated and do the best job that we can!
TransAm takes pride in being a leader in the temperature-controlled freight industry. Our entire fleet of trailers is equipped with a system to monitor precise cargo temperature and provide customized temperature reports on a per-load basis. TransAm Trucking is the first truckload carrier in the United States to implement this system to monitor temperature readings every five minutes.
TransAm Trucking is committed to demonstrating an ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility. We are proud to announce that we are a United States EPA SmartWay transport partner and that were awarded the EPA’s Environmental Excellence Award.
