About Us

A Tradition of Excellence in Transportation

Our Founding Vision

Buchanan Logistics was established by Geary Buchanan, a former truck driver with 24 years of hands-on experience in the transportation industry and the founder of Buchanan Hauling & Rigging. Geary’s mission was clear: build enduring business relationships, create high-quality jobs, and deliver unmatched service to every client.

From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leader

Our journey began in 1996, initially focusing on flatbed and open deck transport. Responding to our customers’ evolving needs, we quickly grew our service portfolio to include:

• Expedited flatbed
• Heavy haul
• Dry vans
• Drop deck
• Curtainside trailers

To further address complex shipping demands, we launched Buchanan Specialized, our hazmat division, which combines advanced employee training with cutting-edge safety technology to safely handle specialized freight.

Expansion Driven by Customer Needs

As the logistics landscape changed, so did we. The demand for a customer-focused, full-service logistics provider led to the formation of this sister company, Buchanan Logistics. A company built on the same principles that shaped Buchanan Hauling & Rigging: integrity, reliability, and an unwavering commitment to our partners.

Today, Buchanan Logistics supports a diverse array of industries and manages freight of all types and complexities throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico. We leverage robust technology and long-standing industry relationships to ensure your shipment, regardless of size or frequency, receives the care it deserves.
