Overview

Buchanan Hauling started out providing flatbed, open deck transportation. We quickly expanded our services to include expedited flatbed service and the heavy haul market with multiple axle trailers hauling oversize and overweight cargo.

With increased business, Buchanan Hauling expanded into a full service logistics company, handling all types of commodities, projects, and freight moves throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Buchannan is a great professional carrier to work with. They communicate well and give you peace of mind that the job is going to be done right. Picked up on time. Delivered on time. On a type of freight that typically has minor loss or damage on a regular basis they delivered clean and damage free. Great job!
