For over 25 years, Southern Tier Express has built its reputation on the moves others turn down. Purpose-built equipment, in-house permitting, and a safety culture that never cuts corners.
Everything STX does flows from three core commitments — to the right equipment, the right planning, and the highest safety standards. Click any pillar to learn more.
A modern, purpose-built fleet covering every transport configuration — from ultra-low-profile RGN lowboys and hydraulic platform trailers to extendable step-decks and heavy haul tractors maintained in our own shop.
Comprehensive pre-move route analysis, bridge engineering, and certified pilot car services that identify and solve every obstacle before your load moves — so nothing surprises us on move day.
A zero-compromise safety culture backed by in-house fleet maintenance, rigorous driver qualification, DOT compliance, and a safety record that consistently outperforms industry averages.
Eight reasons our customers keep coming back — and why they recommend us to colleagues who need the job done right.
Every STX driver is CDL-A certified with a minimum of two years specialized transport experience. Our senior operators average over a decade of heavy haul experience.
We don't outsource permits. Our in-house permit team manages the entire acquisition process across all 48 states — faster, more accurate, and with full accountability.
A real dispatcher answers every call, around the clock. No automated systems, no call centers. Direct communication with the people managing your freight.
Every load is tracked in real time with GPS. You always know where your freight is, and our dispatch team proactively communicates any changes to your delivery window.
Our quotes are detailed and accurate. No surprise accessorial charges, no hidden fees. What we quote is what you pay, with full documentation on every invoice.
Over 25 years and thousands of successful moves — from single-piece heavy equipment hauls to complex multi-load wind energy project campaigns.
Beyond single moves, STX can manage the full transport logistics for construction and industrial projects — coordinating multiple loads, sequenced deliveries, and just-in-time staging.
Every move is documented: permits, bills of lading, pre/post condition reports, and certificates of insurance. Our back-office is as professional as our drivers.

"STX handled our off-road equipment delivery to a remote mining site that three other carriers turned down. Their team didn't flinch — they surveyed the site, brought the right equipment, and delivered without incident."
"We've used many carriers for wind blade moves across the Midwest. STX is in a class of their own — their route planning, permit knowledge, and driver skill are unmatched. They treat your project like it's their own."
"The route survey STX provided for our oversized modular move was more thorough than anything we'd seen from other carriers. It identified three potential obstacles we hadn't considered. That level of preparation is why we keep coming back."
