Company Profile

About Buchanan

Buchanan Hauling & Rigging was founded in June 1996 by Geary Buchanan. At the time, Geary was an owner-operator with 24 years of experience in the trucking industry. He started the company with one truck, two trailers, and dreams of supplying quality transportation at a fair market rate, building long-lasting business relationships, and providing high-quality jobs to drivers and owner-operators.

Buchanan Hauling started with no business plan, only the notion that hard work would pay off and that Buchanan Hauling and Rigging could out-work and out-perform the competition.

Our Growth

Since the beginning, our company has experienced double digit growth, all while maintaining our focus on continually improving the way we do our jobs. We pay special attention to suggestions and comments by our customers and vendors. At Buchanan, we are always trying to improve our service.

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 oversized and overweight cargo. Due to customer demand, our fleet grew to include our van or enclosed trailer fleet, drop decks, and curtainsides.

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. Our logistics group has the expertise, technology, and industry contacts to manage shipments of any size, frequency, and instance.

In response to a need from our customers, we created Buchanan Specialized, our hazmat division. Safe hazmat transportation is of utmost importance to everyone sharing the road. At Buchanan, we invest significant resources in training, equipment, and safety technology to ensure that our customer’s shipment is delivered safely and securely.
