Western AG

What Western AG does

Western AG Inc. is a privately held, family-owned refrigerated trucking company headquartered in Yuba City, California, founded in 2013 by brothers Imran Khan (CEO) and Mohammad Khan (Dispatch/Operations). The company specializes in temperature-controlled transportation of fresh produce, frozen products, household goods, and other perishable items across 10 western and midwestern U.S. states (CA, OR, WA, ID, NV, AZ, UT, TX, NE, IA). Its service portfolio comprises two core offerings: (1) Refrigerated Trucking Services for perishable and frozen cargo with 24/7 dispatcher support, real-time temperature monitoring, GPS tracking, and safety management; and (2) Dedicated Trucking Services providing contracted fleet capacity for businesses with year-round freight needs.

The underlying technology stack is operationally focused rather than software-led: a fleet of refrigerated trucks ("reefers") refreshed on a 2-year cycle and tractors on a 3-year cycle, standard telematics for 24/7 GPS and live temperature visibility, and round-the-clock dispatcher and safety manager coverage. The company operates with 51-100 employees supplemented by contract drivers and owner operators. GTM is direct sales via phone (530-713-7901) and website contact forms, targeting B2B and B2C shippers in agriculture, food processing, and food distribution. Pricing is fully quote-based with no publicly disclosed rate cards, and revenue is generated through per-shipment freight charges plus dedicated service agreements. No funding rounds, acquisitions, patents, partnerships, AI/ML capabilities, or third-party integrations are disclosed.
