Dohrn Transfer Company

Dohrn Transfer Company

View

Dohrn is a Midwest asset-based carrier specializing in Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) and truckload shipping. It runs a network of terminals and offers services like dedicated fleet management, warehousing, cross-docking, pool distribution, and rail intermodal via a direct BNSF connection. The company differentiates itself through a recent network transformation that included acquiring US Special Delivery in 2024 and Sutton Transport in 2025, reducing terminals from 42 to 24 and expanding direct line-haul capacity and door capacity, which led to high on-time performance and few exceptions. Its goal is to provide dependable, end-to-end freight services in the Midwest with scalable capacity and strong service visibility using API/EDI integrations, electronic bills of lading, and real-time tracking.

  • By Q3 2026, Dohrn reported 97% on-time and 99% exception-free service.
