A Carrier You Can Count On
Family-owned. Springfield-based. Built on the belief that freight moves best when communication is direct and commitments are kept.
Our Story
Shafer Transport was founded in Springfield, Ohio with one goal: be the carrier that shippers and brokers can actually rely on. No runaround, no missed check calls, no excuses at delivery.
We started with a single truck and a straightforward approach — show up on time, communicate clearly, and treat every load like it matters. That approach hasn't changed.
Today we run 53-foot dry van freight throughout Ohio, Northern Kentucky, and Indiana. We know these lanes, these docks, and these delivery windows. Regional freight is what we do, and we do it well.
Licensed, Insured & Compliant
Our Fleet
We run 53-foot dry van trailers — the workhorse of regional freight. Maintained, compliant, and ready to move.
How We Operate
Direct Communication
You get a real person when you call dispatch. No automated systems, no runaround. We pick up, we update, we deliver.
On-Time Delivery
We build our schedule around your delivery window, not the other way around. If something changes, you hear from us first.
Broker & Shipper Friendly
We work with direct shippers and freight brokers alike. Easy to book, easy to track, easy to work with again.
