About Ridgeway Transport

Built Around a Focused Freight Model.

Ridgeway Transport was built around a focused freight model: open deck transportation for customers moving machinery, steel, building materials, and industrial products.

Based in Knoxville, the company serves regional customers throughout the Southeast and Midwest while also considering select longer lanes when the freight fits the equipment.

The operation stays hands-on from quote to delivery. Because the same owner is close to dispatch, equipment, and the road, customers have a direct line to the person responsible for the shipment.

How We Work

Open Deck Freight Starts With the Details.

Every load is reviewed around the specifics that decide whether it moves safely and legally, before the truck ever turns a wheel.

01

Dimensions First

Length, width, height, weight, and loading method determine whether flatbed or step deck equipment is the right fit.

02

Securement Matters

Open deck freight is reviewed with securement and load configuration in mind before the truck is dispatched.

03

Clear Communication

Customers receive a direct point of contact throughout the freight move.

The Owner Operator Difference

Hands-On From Quote to Delivery.

Because the same owner is close to dispatch, equipment, and the road, customers have a direct line to the person responsible for the shipment, not a call center, not a broker, not a dispatcher who has never seen the truck.

One truck. One owner. One point of contact.
