About Crete Carrier

Our Legacy Of Achievement Forms The Foundation For Our Future

The three divisions of Crete Carrier Corporation share a proud legacy of innovative leaders and dedicated drivers that influence our actions today as we strive to be the best trucking company in the country.

1966 – The Beginning of a Business

The Crete Carrier Corporation story starts in Crete, Nebraska, in 1966. We began with six leased trailers and our very first customer, ALPO dog food. Our operation was small, but big things were just around the bend.

Present Day – A Nationwide Leader in Transport

Today, Crete Carrier Corporation has grown into a transporter of virtually any product and operates more than 5,000 tractors and over 13,000 trailers throughout the continental United States.

On the flatbed side, Hunt Transportation operates more than 150 tractors and 330 flatbed, drop-deck, and RGN trailers across the United States.

While this makes us one of the largest trucking companies in the world, Crete, Shaffer, and Hunt will always deliver on the little things that matter most to our customers.
