Perfect for
Stevens Transport is best suited for large-scale shippers and Fortune 500 companies that require reliable, temperature-controlled transportation across North America. Their services are particularly well-matched for:
- Food and beverage companies shipping fresh produce, protein, dairy, and other refrigerated or frozen products at full truckload volumes

- Enterprises seeking dedicated fleet solutions as an alternative to operating a private fleet, with guaranteed year-round capacity
- Shippers requiring cross-border transportation services between the U.S., Canada, and Mexico with customs expertise and C-TPAT certification
- Carrier partners and owner-operators looking to access premium refrigerated and dry van freight through a leading freight brokerage network
Key strengths
One of North America's largest asset-based refrigerated fleets with nearly 3,000 trucks and 4,500 trailers, providing substantial capacity and reliability
Debt-free, family-owned company with over 45 years of operations and zero layoffs, signaling exceptional financial stability
Multi-award-winning carrier recognized by Fortune 500 clients including Coca-Cola, Tyson, General Mills, Smithfield, and Target
Comprehensive multimodal service portfolio covering truckload, dedicated, intermodal, international cross-border, food-grade tanker, and 3PL brokerage
Significant technology investments including Platform Science, FourKites, Macropoint, Thermo King telematics, and Netradyne safety systems for real-time visibility and fleet intelligence
Considerations
Focused exclusively on full truckload and bulk liquid shipping; no LTL, parcel, or ecommerce fulfillment services available
Primarily serves large enterprise and Fortune 500 shippers, which may not be cost-effective or accessible for small to mid-sized brands
No warehousing or fulfillment center services despite offering 3PL brokerage, limiting end-to-end supply chain coverage
Service coverage limited to North America (U.S., Canada, Mexico) with no ocean or air freight capabilities
