What Fischer Transportation Inc does

Fisher Transportation Inc is a privately held heavy haul trucking company headquartered at 900 S. Bradley Street, Mount Pleasant, Michigan, established in 1970 as a member of the Fisher Companies, a diversified family-owned group founded in 1925 that spans aggregate mining, ready-mix concrete, asphalt, civil contracting, terminal operations, and related construction services. The company operates three core service lines: heavy haul trucking for bulk construction aggregates such as sand, gravel, limestone, rip rap, crushed concrete, slag, and hot mix asphalt; B-train flatbed trucking for lumber products, concrete bunker blocks, and concrete barrier walls; and direct aggregate product sales. Its fleet is described as one of Michigan's larger heavy haul fleets and includes specialized equipment such as Triple Ten Gravel Trains, Super Trains, Rock Tub Trains, 8-Axle Flowboys, V-Bottom Gravel Trains, Tri-Axle and Quad-Axle Dump Trucks, Quad-Axle Short Doubles, and Cement Bunkers, supported by a state-of-the-art dispatching system.

The company serves commercial contractors, residential builders, masonry contractors, municipal government clients, and private customers across Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the revenue model is transactional B2B heavy haul transportation and aggregate sales, with some internal Fisher Companies tonnage captured via sister entities. Distribution is direct: the company delivers aggregates and freight to customer job sites using its own fleet without intermediaries. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales relying on direct customer relationships, a company website (fishertransportation.com), and a Facebook page for top-of-funnel engagement, rather than paid marketing campaigns.

Fisher Transportation differentiates through vertical integration with the Fisher Companies network, which provides a single-source product-to-delivery solution spanning aggregate mining, asphalt, concrete, civil contracting, and multi-modal port logistics via Port Fisher Terminals. The company has earned multiple BITCO Insurance Companies Certificates of Excellence for Employee Safety (2017-2019) and a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition (2016), positioning safety culture as a reputational asset. Leadership includes President Douglas E. Moore (joined 1999) and Vice President Jeff Sweet (promoted 2022), supported by a Director of Environmental Health & Safety, dispatchers, and an administrative function. The business is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, no public listing, and no app or API surface; technology is limited to fleet operations and a Wix-hosted website.
