Whitehurst Transport Inc

What Whitehurst Transport Inc does

Whitehurst Transport Inc is a specialized Mid-Atlantic and Southeast trucking carrier focused on bulk liquid hazardous materials transport. The company operates a fleet of 38 company-owned tractors plus 2 owner-operator tractors, supported by 168 insulated tank trailers, 3 non-insulated heavy fuel oil trailers, 8 water trailers, and 5 oil trailers, with 2 units equipped with off-loading pumps for efficient material transfer. Its cargo mix is narrow and industrial: asphalt emulsions and cutbacks, asphalt flux, liquid asphalt cement, distillate and residual fuel oils, oily waste water, and recycled oil. The company holds ICC Number MC 123790 and USDOT Number 121093, granting federal interstate operating authority for hazardous materials transport.

The business is structured around a four-terminal network — Dumfries VA, Richmond VA (two sites), Chesapeake VA, and Dunn NC — with corporate offices in Richmond, Virginia. Service territory spans seven states: Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and West Virginia. The go-to-market is direct and relationship-based, selling to industrial customers, asphalt producers, paving contractors, construction firms, and fuel distributors through fleet managers and procurement contacts. Pricing is quote-based and contracted individually rather than publicly disclosed or standardized.

The company is a private LLC (Whitehurst Transport, Inc., LLC) with no parent company, institutional investors, or PE/VC backing disclosed. No funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership changes, or product launches are documented in the available source material. The company is currently hiring CDL drivers, signaling active fleet capacity management, and offers a standard benefits package including health/vision/dental/life insurance, 401(k) match, safety bonuses, and employee referral bonuses. Revenue figures are not disclosed; the asset base (40 tractors, 168+ specialized trailers) and 7-state footprint indicate a mid-sized regional carrier with a defensible hazmat niche but limited public visibility into financial performance.
