Asset-Based Transportation

Asset-Based Transportation Services

Our Drivers. Our Fleet. Your Peace of Mind.

Unreliable carriers don’t just delay shipments — they damage customer relationships, inflate costs, and force your logistics team into constant firefighting mode. Brown Trucking Company is an asset-based carrier with 500+ Commercial Vehicle Operators (CVOs), 3,200+ trailers, and 60+ years of freight experience. When we commit to a freight lane, we back it with our assets — not someone else’s.

When your carrier doesn’t show up, your customer feels it first.

Carrier failures don’t stay inside your logistics operation. They reach your customers, your production lines, and your P&L. The root cause is almost always the same: a freight partner who doesn’t own their capacity — or their commitments.

Get the Solution →

No owned capacity

Brokers and non-asset carriers rely on the spot market — when it tightens, your freight waits

Inconsistent CVOs

Rotating contract drivers mean no accountability, no familiarity with your freight, and varying safety standards

Visibility gaps

Updates arrive late or not at all when carriers treat communication as optional

Pricing volatility

Spot market rates swing 40%+ in peak season with no protection from locked lane pricing

No integrated warehousing

Separate carriers and warehouse providers create handoff failures you spend your day managing

Our Transportation Capabilities

Every capability. One accountable team.

From regional Southeast lanes to national coverage — asset-based reliability backed by our brokerage network when you need to extend beyond our fleet.

Asset-Based Trucking — Owned Capacity

We own and operate our fleet. Consistent freight lanes, consistent pricing, one accountable party. Not a spot market arrangement that changes when capacity tightens.

Regional & Long-Haul Freight Lanes

Core strength is Southeast regional freight — Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina. FTL and LTL requirements beyond our fleet extended nationally through our 15,000+ carrier brokerage network.

Dedicated Contract Carriage

Dedicated equipment and CVOs assigned to your account. Your freight doesn’t compete with the open market. Equipment reserved for your operation, CVOs who know your freight.

Equipment Types

Dry van, flatbed, and temperature-controlled equipment. Flatbed capacity for oversized and dimensional loads. Temp-controlled for freight requiring controlled environment transport.

Transportation Modeling & Data

Load plan design, transportation modeling, and data analysis to identify cost drivers across your network — not just quoting the lanes you already know about.

Safety Record & Certifications

Highest USDOT and FMCSA safety ratings. SmartWay EPA certified transport partner. First-place GA, TN, NC Trucking Association Annual Safety Contests.
