TMC Transportation

TMC Transportation is a freight carrier founded in 1972 and headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. It is the nation's largest employee-owned open-deck carrier, moving flatbed and open-deck truckload freight across the 48 contiguous states. The company operates on an employee-ownership model, and its work is organised around fleet and safety management, driver training, and the maintenance of late-model equipment.

Safety and service are the stated operating priorities. Drivers are described as highly trained, and the company emphasises a strong safety culture alongside rigorous standards. For customers, dedicated account managers handle relationships, and any carriers used within its network are evaluated against insurance, safety, and service criteria before approval.

Beyond open-deck hauling, TMC Logistics extends the company's capabilities to asset-based truckload, less-than-truckload, intermodal, bulk, special-operations and third-party logistics solutions, supported by a qualified carrier network spanning the United States and Canada. The broader technical scope covers freight transportation operations, intermodal transportation, carrier network management, and third-party logistics.

With more than 50 years of operating history, the company serves customers throughout the 48 contiguous states while drawing on carrier capacity across the United States and Canada.
