Stone Transport

What Stone Transport does

Stone Transport LLC is a privately held industrial material logistics and handling company headquartered in Saginaw, Michigan. Founded in 1984, the company has operated for over 40 years serving construction companies, industrial manufacturers, and manufacturing plants across a geographic triangle spanning Michigan, Texas, and Alabama, with extension to North Dakota and beyond. Its offering is organized around four integrated service lines: Stone Logistics (brokerage leveraging a nationwide partner network), Stone Material Handling (crushing, screening, transloading, blending, and equipment rental), Stone Transport (haulage of industrial materials), and Stone Maintenance (heavy-duty fleet maintenance with on-the-road service within a 50-mile radius of its facilities).

The company's underlying technology and asset base consist of a fleet of more than 500 trucks and trailers (including Michigan super trains, roll-offs, belt trailers, walking floors, and end dumps), more than 30 pieces of earthmoving equipment (loaders, excavators, dozers), and more than 30 pieces of processing equipment (screeners, conveyors, crushers, processors). A central differentiator is the Detroit River dock and ship-loading facility, capable of processing up to 250,000 tons annually, supported by stevedoring operations throughout the Great Lakes region that handle in excess of 1,000,000 tons of commodities annually, including coke, breeze, pellets, pellet fines, sand, ash, and by-product blends. Stone also offers a Dedicated Plant Service model in which it acquires staged trailers, switcher trucks, and onsite material handling equipment mobilized by dedicated drivers and plant operators, plus an asset-purchase option allowing clients to buy equipment directly.

Stone generates revenue primarily through transaction fees on transportation, material handling/processing, and logistics brokerage engagements, with professional services fees from fleet maintenance. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to individual project requirements under multi-year contracts typical of industrial B2B engagements. Go-to-market is predominantly direct enterprise sales targeting construction and industrial manufacturing buyers, supplemented by a channel/reseller model via the Stone Logistics brokerage network. The company employs 501–1,000 people, maintains an active careers pipeline via the IntelliApp platform, and supports brand awareness through its corporate website and social media presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.
