About Us
Background
Stevens West is a professional transportation intermediary matching shippers’ freight with the availability of trucks via our partner carrier network. We work with shippers and carriers from coast to coast and have the resources to ship truck freight throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Our company is built on a strong foundation of ethics and integrity. Our aim is to forge long-term business relationships based on trust & mutual respect, and we’ve been providing transportation services to the industry since 1986. You’ll find our representatives friendly and easy to do business with.
Our business is primarily focused on providing flatbed shipping services. We are specialists in this type of truck freight and can offer shipping expertise and knowledge that our competitors cannot. Flatbed trucks are ideal for hauling heavy/bulky industrial freight too large for a box truck or when a loading dock is not available for loading or unloading.
From a modest beginning in 1986 as a western states agent for Stevens Grain Service, a flatbed trucking company based in Hillpoint, Wisconsin, our company has grown to now serve over 200 customers annually all over North America. Over the years, we’ve invested in our people and information technology to provide the best possible service to our customers, carriers, and vendors.
We use the latest operations software which allows our employees to efficiently process, route, and track flatbed truck orders. Plus, our customers and carriers now have access via this website to crucial information they need about their freight shipments with us.
We are active members in good standing of the Transportation Intermediaries Association, a professional trade organization, and we abide by an industry code of ethics. Further, our company is managed based on a set of core values created with input from our employees, customers and carrier partners.
Our Values
We believe the foundation of our success is based on being self-critical and looking down the road. We believe in the power of teamwork. We’ve made a commitment to developing long-term relationships with our employees, customers, partner carriers and our vendors.

We regularly benchmark our performance to these standards and adjust them annually to meet the changing needs of our customers, our carriers and our industry.
