What Claiborne Hauling does

Claiborne Hauling, LLC is a veteran-owned, family-operated hauling and aggregates contractor headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee, founded in 1997. The company's core offering is dump truck hauling services priced by the hour, load, or ton, complemented by a vertically integrated aggregates supply operation selling TDOT-approved crushed stone, sand, topsoil, and specialty fill products sourced from multiple East Tennessee borrow pits. The firm has scaled from a single dump truck to a fleet of over 175 trucks and pieces of equipment, supported by 60+ drivers averaging seven years of industry experience and 80+ on-file subcontractor agreements within a 50-mile radius providing surge capacity. Adjacent divisions include grading and excavation (operated by a licensed Tennessee General Contractor), demolition, modular office and storage container rentals, and a sister company (Heavy Haul LLC) that moves oversized and super-loads up to 150,000+ pounds.

The company's most differentiated asset is its AT7 All-Terrain Rock Slinger, a remote-controlled four-wheel-drive vehicle with a 12-foot footprint capable of placing material up to 150 feet, reducing job times from hours to minutes in difficult-to-reach sites. Revenue mechanics are predominantly transactional: customers engage via phone (865-540-4409) or the company website, receive quote-based pricing, and have materials delivered by company-owned fleet primarily across the Greater Knoxville region and broader Tennessee market with spillover into neighboring states. The customer base spans residential homeowners and landscapers, commercial contractors (including documented work on airport runway repaving at Tri-Cities Airport and emergency road salt/snow response), and infrastructure/government projects requiring TDOT-compliant materials.

The operating model is asset-heavy and capital-intensive, with late-model trucks monitored via GPS, multiple screeners for topsoil processing, and emergency 24/7 availability for road salt and snow removal. The company markets itself through a SEO-optimized website, prominent Google Reviews, an active Facebook presence, and direct sales outreach. No institutional investment, public listing, or M&A activity is disclosed; ownership remains private and family-controlled.
