| Situated just outside of Minneapolis,
in Albertville, Minnesota, the Long Haul Companies general offices are
not more than 40 hours in any direction from all major United States
shipping points. And, most cities are considerably closer to our fleet
headquarters. We hold: |
| |
- 48 United States ICC Common
Carrier, Contract Carrier licensed, bonded broker authorities.
- Authority certificates in both
Ontario and Quebec, Canada
|
| The Long Haul Companies standard is to
get shipments delivered in the same condition as they were picked up.
Our record of reportable claims is enviably low. Only six claims of our
29,000 loads carried in 2005 were considered reportable. Few carriers
can make this claim. |
| |
| At our general offices, we maintain a
professional and experienced staff. They are available to answer your
questions over a wide range of logistics and distribution topics |
| |
| Being in business for over 20 years,
we have shown tremendous growth in our fleet and in client satisfaction.

| Best Ride In The Trucking Industry
- With our long wheelbase, conventional Peterbilt tractors and
spread-axle Benson aluminum trailers, you have the comfort of knowing
your freight is on the smoothest, most dependable equipment on the road.
Whether you're shipping the most sophisticated computerized machining
tools or perishable produce, Long Haul can do it all. Long Haul's newest
specialized equipment: |
| |
- Roll-Tite Convertible Van
Systems - The new Roll-Tite System installed on our aluminum
Benson 49' air ride flatbeds allow Long Haul Trucking to transport
palletized equipment with the same protection as our vans. Roll-Tite
also allows us the flexibility to haul up to 50,000 pounds and to
load and unload from the side or with an overhead crane. And, it has
a full 101" inside trailer width, wider than any van.
|
- 53' X 102" Vans - When you
need the maximum loading capacity, Long Haul Trucking has 53' Vans
with a full 110" inside height, for a maximum capacity. Like all of
Long Haul Trucking's equipment, our vans are equipped with air ride
suspension to assure your product, whether state of the art computer
systems, or delicate medical instruments, will arrive in the same
condition as when loaded.
|
- Step Decks & Specialized
Hauling Equipment - Long Haul Trucking has experienced drivers
that specialize in transporting overweight & over dimensional loads.
Specialized trailers are available from 40 to 75 ton capacity.
|
| Central and
Regional Dispatch |
| Although we have several sales
locations throughout the United States, the majority of loads are
dispatched out of our corporate office in Albertville, Minnesota. We
also offer dispatching out of Owensboro, KY for handling companies in
this region with high volume freight. In today's economy many companies
can't afford the luxury of a large backup inventory. When they order
something that's out of stock, they need it now. With dispatching
originating out of our Albertville office, or Owensboro office, shipping
confusion and delay is virtually eliminated. We avoid the problems of
double covering a truck or mistaking what day a truck will be available.
The end result is better service and more competitive rates.

| Hand Picked Dispatchers and Drivers
- It is human nature to want to drive the smoothest riding, best looking
trucks on the road. We attract many more drivers applying for jobs than
we have openings. This gives the Long Haul Companies the advantage of
picking only the best. Today with our fleet of the finest tractors and
trailers - 3 years or newer-and our experienced dispatchers and
dependable drivers, we are enjoying 400% growth since Long Haul Trucking
applied for it's authority in 1986. |
