Understanding What We Do—And Why It Works
At Sugar Creek Transportation, we’re not just in the business of hauling freight. We’re in the business of delivering peace of mind—for both the people shipping the goods and the drivers moving them.
Here’s a breakdown of our most requested freight services, how each one works, and what it means for our clients and our team.
Full Truckload (FTL) Dry Van Freight
We specialize in dedicated truckload shipping using 53’ air ride dry vans. This service is ideal for clients with large-volume loads, fragile cargo, or time-sensitive shipments that require a full trailer’s worth of space.

- Food and beverage distribution
- Manufacturing parts
- Seasonal volume
Driver Benefit: Clear, efficient routes with less risk of stop-and-go loads. More miles, less downtime.
Drop Trailer Service
This solution allows Sugar Creek to drop a trailer at the customer’s warehouse so they can load or unload it on their own schedule. No waiting, no detention charges.
Best For:
- Warehouses with unpredictable labor schedules
- High-volume distribution centers
- Recurring clients who want seamless freight handoffs
Driver Benefit: Faster turnarounds and fewer hours waiting at docks.
Expedited Freight
When time is critical, our expedited freight service prioritizes your shipment to move with urgency—often same-day dispatch, direct routing, and high communication from start to finish.
Best For:

- Production line recoveries
- High-value or just-in-time deliveries
Driver Benefit: Premium loads, faster turnarounds, and dedicated lanes when needed.
