Description:
In 1898 Freeman Osborn began his hauling business after working for someone else and “knowing he could do it better”. This incredible statement of genuine service and relationships still exists into the fifth generation of Osborn & Son Trucking.
Today, Osborn & Son Trucking has 22 tractors (18 owned and 4 leased) and 56 trailers (refers and vans) hauling cheese, spice, and liquor between Wisconsin and New York/New Jersey. They have a strong and established Midwest to East Coast connection that services over 100 food-related distributors.
Osborn & Son Trucking understands there’s no margin for error when using refrigerated trucking in shipping customer’s commodities – whether they are frozen, dry or simply temperature controlled. They supply state-of-the-art refrigerated trucking trailers with experts in the field to provide clients with the refrigerated trucking services they deserve. So, whether the customer is shipping a less-than-truckload (LTL) or a full-truckload (FTL), they go with Osborn & Son Trucking who understand their refrigerated trucking needs.
Due to the increased and specialized business performed by Osborn & Son Trucking, the need to form a separate brokerage company became clear. Formed in 1986, Three-D Brokers enabled excess loads to be brokered to other trucking companies registered with the Company. Three-D Brokers has, over time, established a very positive business relationship with all its customers and carriers.
Three-D Brokers provides an important and valuable service to both Osborn & Son Trucking and each of their customers.
