Sterling Transportation was founded by Kevin Groshong in 1979 in Redmond. “Strong values have shaped us over the years into a trusted and capable provider of reliable freight management,” explains Groshong.
“Our success is a testament to our belief in servicing our local community, fiscal responsibility and integrity. We carefully manage our growth, price our services fairly and pay our bills, attracting long-term quality customers, employees and business partners both locally and beyond.
“We operate by the highest standards of ethics, focus on safety, embrace self-improvement, and challenge the status quo to ensure we continue to run a business built on delivering value.
“Our fleet of 50 consisting of company equipment and dedicated owner operators, along with our many strategic carrier partners, proudly maintains a 98 percent on-time delivery record and a less than 0.01 percent claims ratio. We rely on dependability, honesty and continued success to meet and exceed the needs of every client.”
Sterling Transportation specializes in hauling temperature controlled commodities within our fleet of refrigerated “reefer” trailers. Our staff and drivers are experts in ensuring our clients’ temperature sensitive freight is maintained within the regulated requirements at all times from pick-up to delivery.
Transporting temperature controlled product is a critical service. Few think about all the requirements that are involved with transporting such sensitive commodities and what the carrier must do to ensure nothing falls short of meeting them.
Any carrier deals with the potentials for damage or delay, but as a refrigerated carrier we deal with the added potential of product arriving out of temperature. Ensuring product stays within its required temperature range while in transit, on top of protecting from damages and delays, is a critical component that Sterling Transportation takes great pride in providing to our clients.
“This means our staff and drivers must be knowledgeable with putting loads together correctly to ensure all requirements are securely met,” says Groshong. “It takes experience and dedication, at every level, to make certain everything goes correctly.”
With all the inherent risks shippers have with their temperature controlled shipments, Sterling Transportation prides itself on being able to step in and allay many of those risks by our quality of service and years of experience.
“We are committed to being the most trusted and capable logistics provider in the industry, allowing our clients to focus on what they do best while we manage their shipping needs,” continues Groshong.
“From our beginning, back in 1979, running the I-5 corridor to today covering the 48 contiguous states, Sterling Transportation has benefitted from the strength of our partnerships with our clients and striving to always provide best-in-class service. Our customers’ success is our success and we have been fortunate to grow alongside them.”
