We do what we say we’re going to do. Period.

Our drivers show up presentable, professional, and respectful — to your team and your customers.

We run legal, fully compliant operations because doing it right matters.

We prioritize building relationships with our direct customers and becoming your go-to carrier. 

Long-Term Relationships

Tomlinson Transportation was built in response to what’s broken in the trucking industry.

Too many carriers chase the cheapest price, cut corners, ignore communication, and treat customers like numbers. Loads get delayed. Phones go unanswered. Promises are broken.

As a family-owned company, Tomlinson Transportation chose a different path.

They built a hot shot operation focused on reliability, safety, and clear communication — running loads across Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Iowa with drivers they actually know and trust.

They’re not the cheapest, and they’re not trying to be.
They’re the company that shows up, keeps their word, and takes pride in doing the job right.
