No throwback to horse-and-buggy days, these Waggoners transport horseless carriages. The Waggoners Trucking gets most of its revenue from hauling automobiles; much of the company's business comes from auto assembly plants in the southeastern US. Customers have included BMW, General Motors, and Honda. In addition, Waggoners Trucking uses flatbed trailers to provide specialized less-than-truckload transportation of freight such as oil field equipment. Waggoners Trucking operates throughout the US and in Canada from a network of more than 30 terminals. It maintains a fleet of about 1,100 tractor-trailer rigs. The company, which was founded in 1951, is owned by the Waggoner family.

For Total Transportation of Mississippi, total transportation means trucking, but not just within in the Magnolia State. The truckload carrier provides service throughout the eastern half of the US. It operates a fleet of about 650 tractors and 1,200 trailers from two terminals in Mississippi, two in Tennessee, and one apiece in Georgia and North Carolina. Total transports general commodities on regional and medium-length routes (800-1,200 miles); it also offers dedicated contract carriage, in which drivers and equipment are assigned to customers long-term. Truckload carrier U.S. Xpress Enterprises owns 90% of Total; company managers own the rest.

Towne Air Freight helps move goods from town to town. The company specializes in providing ground connections between customers and airports for cargo that is imported or exported. Along with airport-to-airport transportation, Towne Air Freight also provides less-than-truckload (LTL) transportation services to customers other than freight forwarders. (LTL carriers consolidate freight from multiple shippers into a single truckload.) Towne Air Freight operates from more than 60 terminals; it supplements its LTL offerings via partnerships. The company also offers border and customs assistance into Mexico. Investment firm Charterhouse Group owns the company, which was founded in 1963 by Gary Downey.

Freight hauler Trans-System operates through three main units: System Transport (flatbed); TW Transport (refrigerated and dry van); and James J. Williams (bulk commodities). The Trans-System trucking companies operate from some 10 terminals in the western US. Overall, the company's fleet consists of about 1,000 tractors and 1,500 trailers. Trans-System also offers logistics services and runs a driver training school. Chairman and CEO Jim Williams founded the company in 1972, although it got its start when Williams' grandfather began transporting petroleum products throughout northern Idaho and eastern Washington.

No, TransAm Trucking isn't that movie where Burt Reynolds helps haul beer from Texas to Georgia -- that was Smokey and the Bandit. TransAm Trucking does haul freight in the South, and in most of the rest of the US, and the company has carried a little beer in its time, along with other products that require temperature-controlled transportation. It operates a fleet of about 1,200 tractors and 2,400 refrigerated trailers. But no black Pontiac Trans Ams with T-tops. In addition to for-hire transportation, TransAm Trucking offers dedicated fleet services, in which drivers and equipment are assigned to customers long-term. The company was founded in 1987.
