Overview

We have always been an over-the-road, irregular route, flatbed operation and the future looks to remain that way. Our commodities vary but we have long found our niche in the wooden utility pole market. Powell Transportation has been a solid trucking company for over 25 years.

Powell Transportation has run a few flatbed shipments for us, most recently out of TX. Shane kept us updated throughout the trip. Electronic tracking was accepted. Rocky was on time for pickup and delivery.
