Bulk Commodity Transportation in Georgia - Howard Sheppard
Truckload Services
The OTR Division of Howard Sheppard, Inc. is responsible for providing transportation services for our customers shipping liquid, dry bulk, bagged and general van commodities. Our OTR Division provides local, regional, and over the road truckload services. Our diversified trailer fleet consists of liquid tanks, pneumatic dry bulk tanks, vans, and flatbeds. Commodities commonly transported include kaolin (liquid, dry, and bagged) products, sodium silicate, chemicals, concrete beams/pilings, and dry van freight.
The OTR terminals are located in Sandersville, GA, Augusta, GA, and Savannah, GA. Each terminal is staffed with personnel responsible for the day to day operations. The terminal is responsible for working with its customers and managing the fleet operations. Vehicles and drivers are dispatched by each terminal to which they are assigned. Strategically locating the outlying terminals in Augusta and Savannah provided HSI the ability to concentrate on niche regional markets that complemented the kaolin industry while allowing expanding beyond the kaolin industry. We have prided ourselves over the years for finding the niche markets and providing excellent service.
