About Buchanan
Get to Know Buchanan
Buchanan Hauling & Rigging, Inc. began in June 1996 with one truck and two trailers. The company was founded by Geary Buchanan, an owner-operator with more than 24 years of experience. His goal was simple: work hard, provide great service, and build honest relationships. That vision helped Buchanan grow into one of the most respected asset-based trucking companies in North America.
From day one, Buchanan focused on safety, efficiency, and strong partnerships. Instead of just moving freight, the team committed to building long-lasting relationships with shippers, logistics managers, and carriers. This focus has allowed the company to grow every year.
Today, Buchanan manages more than 160,000 loads annually with:
- 200+ power units
- 900+ specialized trailers
- Highly trained drivers and logistics professionals
Every mile reflects the company’s mission of: “Setting the Standard for Safety, One Mile at a Time.”
