From Kansas City to the Nation's Cold Chain — Built on Family
TransAm Trucking was founded in 1987 by Johnny and Trudy Jacobson with a vision to create a place where every person had the opportunity to be successful, respected, and appreciated. Starting with just 50 trucks in Kansas City, Missouri, the Jacobson family built a company rooted in Midwest values while excelling in the competitive world of temperature-controlled logistics.
Today, TransAm Trucking operates a modern fleet of over 500 power units and employs hundreds of professional drivers. We specialize in refrigerated freight hauling produce, dairy, meat, and other temperature-sensitive cargo across the United States. Our service area spans the Midwest, Mid-South, East Coast, and Florida, with a strong focus on the cold chain logistics that keep America's food supply moving.
