DeHaven Transportation

What DeHaven Transportation does

DeHaven Transportation is a privately-held, family-owned regional pickup, delivery, storage, and specialty logistics operator headquartered at 7033 Walrond Drive, Roanoke, Virginia. The company was founded in 1997 by Ray and Steve DeHaven after they sold the family's 40-year-old transfer and storage business, which had operated in the Roanoke area since 1960. It serves business customers across Southwestern Virginia, including Roanoke, Lynchburg, Salem, Christiansburg, Blacksburg, Bedford, Danville, and Martinsville, with extensions into Western Virginia and West Virginia border towns. Headcount is in the 11-50 range and the company remains privately held with no outside funding.

The core service portfolio centers on same-day local pickup and delivery for items ranging from paperwork to loads of up to 10,000 lbs., supplemented by exclusive truck capacity, contract haul arrangements, and special deliveries. Adjacent lines include pick-and-pull warehouse fulfillment, storage with inventory management and on-request delivery, dock transfer, crating, and premium white-glove handling with light assembly performed by two or more personnel. 24-hour operation is offered for accounts requiring continuous coverage. Technology capability is limited and primarily consists of operational integrations: customer-supplied electronic scanners are used to capture electronic proof of delivery, and operations staff log into client websites to push status, proof-of-delivery, charge, and exception updates. No proprietary software platform, APIs, AI, or ML capability is disclosed.

The revenue model is transactional and quote-based for nearly all services, with rates provided on request rather than through published tiers; a 22% fuel surcharge was disclosed as of March 2018. Distribution is direct, sales-led, and field-based, with customers initiating engagement via phone (540-265-1193), fax (540-366-7861), or the website contact form. The customer segment is characterized as business customers in Southwestern Virginia requiring reliable transportation, storage, and flexible pickup/delivery options. Pricing cadence is effectively pay-as-you-go per job or contract, with the company accepting all major credit cards. No revenue, ARR, or segment-level economics are disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• United Parcel Service (UPS): Global integrator with UPS Ground and same-day courier capabilities. Competes with DeHaven for local pickup/delivery business from regional shippers, especially larger enterprise accounts requiring national reach.
• Old Dominion Freight Line: Major regional less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier serving the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast US, including Virginia. Competes with DeHaven on heavier shipments and contract haul work, and represents the larger-scale option regional shippers often consider alongside local couriers.
• Estes Express Lines: Large regional LTL carrier headquartered in Virginia with extensive coverage of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Overlaps with DeHaven on contract haul, exclusive truck, and heavier freight pickup/delivery work for regional shippers in Virginia.
• Southeastern Freight Lines: Regional LTL carrier serving the Southeastern US including Virginia. Competes with DeHaven for contract haul, dedicated truck, and regional freight pickup/delivery business from shippers requiring multi-stop service.
• Saia LTL Freight: Regional LTL carrier with coverage across the Eastern and Southeastern US. Comparable to DeHaven in offering regional pickup/delivery with time-sensitive options, though at much larger scale and via standard LTL terminal network.
• FedEx (FedEx Ground / FedEx Custom Critical): National integrator offering ground pickup and delivery, time-critical courier, and specialty services across all US geographies. Overlaps with DeHaven on same-day courier, special deliveries, and time-critical shipments, but at vastly larger scale and broader coverage.

Emerging players

• Roadie: Crowdsourced same-day delivery platform that connects shippers with drivers for time-sensitive deliveries. Directly comparable to DeHaven's same-day courier service in terms of speed and use cases, though delivered through a marketplace model rather than owned fleet.
• Dolly: On-demand delivery service specializing in large-item, white-glove, and assembly-required deliveries. Comparable to DeHaven's white glove service with light assembly, competing for the same furniture/appliance/movers-and-deliverers market segment with a digital-first model.

Direct peers

• OnTrac: Regional ground parcel and courier carrier operating in specific US regions with a pickup-and-delivery model. Directly comparable to DeHaven in offering same-day and next-day local courier services for business customers, though at significantly larger scale.
• LaserShip: Regional last-mile parcel delivery carrier (now merged with OnTrac) operating in select East Coast/Mid-Atlantic metros. Comparable service model — regional ground pickup and delivery for shippers — and serves some of the same mid-Atlantic geographies as DeHaven.
