Trans-United, Inc. was started in 1964 by a group out of Texas. In 1978, the operating authority and contracts were purchased by Charles and Ami Fleming out of the Chicagoland area. Charles and Ami built upon their transportation experience, transporting steel and other commodities while operating out of the Chicago, IL. area.
In 1997, Jeff Fleming acquired Trans-United, Inc. from his parents Charles, and Ami Fleming with the goal of maintaining the old school mindset of providing service backed by integrity and grit needed to overcome challenges the trucking industry presents.
Today, Trans-United Specialized Hauling’s headquarters is in Burns Harbor, IN. Alongside the corporate office, the HQ features a diesel mechanic shop, fabrication shop, and storage and transfer services.
The fleet is made up of company owned assets and leased owner operators. Company equipment is specialized for the open deck marketing made up of Flatbed, Stepdeck, and RGN trailers capable of multi-axle and stretch configurations. Our Logistics Services department touches almost all freight types and hundreds of vetted and monitored partner carriers all around North America. Combining the company fleet and Logistics Services, our diversity allows a shipper to have one transportation partner who provides service across all transportation needs.
Trans-United Logistics, located within the corporate office, works with carriers to provide additional capacity. Working with vetted carriers provides service with shorter notice and adds capacity for large scale projects. Every truck is tracked with GPS and is dispatched with the same expectations that our company drivers are held to.
Our commitment to service can only appreciated when experienced first hand, we would love the opportunity to show you why we have been a trusted and long lasting partner for many of our customers.
