Mike Frost Trucking Inc

What Mike Frost Trucking Inc does

Mike Frost Trucking Inc. is a privately held, family-owned, asset-based trucking carrier headquartered at 250 Seth Memorial Way in Tunnel Hill, Georgia, founded in 2009 and operating with 11–50 employees. The company provides truckload, expedited, coast-to-coast transportation of dry and refrigerated freight, running lanes primarily out of the greater Dalton, Georgia and Eastern Tennessee areas into the Western United States. Service capabilities span dry goods shipping and temperature-controlled/refrigerated freight, delivered through a company-owned fleet of trucks and trailers with an average age under three years and an on-site weekly maintenance program. Technology differentiation is centered on equipment rather than software: the fleet integrates advanced aerodynamics, fuel efficiency packages, and idle reduction technologies, and the company holds six-time EPA SmartWay High Performer status and a 2024 SmartWay Excellence Award — one of only 29 trucking carriers nationwide to receive the distinction. The business is founder-led by owner Mike Frost, with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, or external capital backing.

The company generates revenue through transaction-based truckload freight services on a quote-based pricing model that is not publicly disclosed. Its go-to-market is direct B2B sales to shippers needing dry and refrigerated capacity on the Southeast-to-Western U.S. corridor, supplemented by direct-to-driver recruitment via an online IntelliApp application platform and TenStreet-provided hiring/onboarding software. Customer concentration is opaque — no logos, contract values, or segment splits are disclosed — and the company has not pursued technology-platform expansion, apps, APIs, or AI capabilities beyond standard equipment and sustainability credentials. Geographic and product expansion beyond the founding Southeast-to-West lane is not documented, leaving the company positioned as a focused regional-to-national expedited carrier whose competitive identity rests on equipment modernity, sustainability recognition, and owner-operated service culture rather than scale or technology moats.
