Chief Industries is Three Generations Strong

As a subsidiary of Chief Industries, Chief Carriers, got its start in 1973, originally as a private flatbed fleet of Chief Industries. By 1986 we had grown and obtained our own contract carrier authority. Today, we supply dependable transportation solutions to 48 contiguous states and Canada, primarily hauling flatbed loads of steel and building material, with some stepdeck shipments, too.

Our cost-effective logistics services provide efficient transportation management for customers across the country. After nearly five decades in the transportation industry, we’re proud to have built a reputation for professionalism, efficiency and superior customer service.

Our Family of Brands

The strength and stability of Chief Industries, Inc. is due to the extraordinary diversity of our family of businesses, all working towards a shared mission.
