Overview

Since 1977, we’ve shipped freight across North America with an emphasis on quality service and on-time delivery. Trusted by the DoD and Fortune 500 customers from coast to coast, yet nimble enough to meet the needs of the smallest of businesses. Mercer Transportation has become one of the largest flatbed, heavy specialized, and dry van carriers in the nation, and the success of our owner-operators proves it!
