Although we have many trucks and trailers, and we safely haul some of the largest loads, we wouldn’t have gotten this far without the passion and persistence of our employees. Our employees, combined with our well maintained fleet, provide the resources to get things done. Four generations of Summers family leadership, as well as an experienced, service-oriented team that welcomes every challenge, is what has propelled the company to where it is today.

Years of transportation experience, expert knowledge of regulations and the permitting system, as well as our on-time delivery system, are the reasons we’re able to deliver freight confidently. We offer valuable shipping advice which often leads to significant savings when hauling over-dimensional loads. Years ago, then-president Harold Summers worked with a shipper and its engineers to design specialty trailer racks so the shipper could tilt the load to allow a reduction in shipping dimensions. In doing this, the need for escorts was eliminated and permit fees were also reduced. This is one example of how our knowledge and expertise in the trucking industry has helped a valued customer. Our desire to do it better is always at the heart of Summers Trucking and we look forward to serving your transportation needs.
