A History of Innovation

Great Plains Trucking

Great Plains Trucking, a subsidiary of Great Plains Manufacturing, was originally incorporated to deliver equipment to the Great Plains dealer network and bring back raw materials. Over the years, we have expanded our fleet, and contract carrier authority has allowed our growth to include flatbed customers both in our home area of north-central Kansas, and throughout the United States and Canada. A significant portion of Great Plains Trucking revenue now comes from sources other than Great Plains Manufacturing.
