Trucking

By operating our own trucking company, RiverLift provides you with a complete material handling and shipping solution and reliable, on-time delivery.

Get RiverLift's on-site reliability — on the road.

Integrating RiverLift Trucking's fleet of end dump trucks and flatbeds with our terminal services gives you a complete material handling and delivery solution that's always reliable. It's also convenient. Since we have our own trucks and drivers, you can take care of your shipping needs with one call and never worry about the pitfalls that come with brokering.

We'll get it there. Trucks for a project on your site? We offer that too, including 24/7 emergency stand-by service. Whatever your needs, we don't just give you trucking options — we give you RiverLift reliability.

  • Coal/coke
  • Steel

50 Years of Reliable Trucking Service

RiverLift's roots go back to 1959, when we were primarily a trucking business. By 1966, we'd begun developing what is now our full-service multimodal terminal, but trucking has remained a critical part of our operations for 50 years. Current owners Bob and Mark Schaefer were loading, unloading and cleaning trucks even as teenagers.

In recent years, we have expanded trucking capabilities to meet customer needs and continue to deliver our values of reliability, integrity and safety.
