Reading: Welcome to Hoosier Express Logistics — How our fleet works

Welcome to Hoosier Express Logistics

Hoosier Express Logistics is a growing asset-based carrier based right here in Indianapolis, Indiana. We operate a modern fleet of one hundred and fifty power units and over four hundred dry van trailers. Our business model focuses on reliable contract freight and carefully selected spot freight across the Midwest.

Our main home terminal sits just off I-70 on the east side of Indianapolis. It includes a full maintenance shop, a driver lounge, and our central dispatch office. We know that keeping trucks moving safely is our most important daily goal. That is why our operations team works around the clock.

We divide our business into a day desk and a night desk to provide seamless communication for our drivers. Each fleet coordinator manages a specific regional fleet to maintain high lane density. This setup helps us avoid common bottlenecks at major receivers and keeps our turnaround times very short.

Capacity planning is essential for our business growth. Our logistics coordinators analyze market rates and lane profitability every single morning. We belong to several regional shipping associations, and our shipping manager works closely with local brokers to secure steady freight.

We also maintain a dedicated driver pool that handles our most demanding accounts. Weekend coverage is shared among our senior dispatchers so that drivers never feel stranded on the road. Every driver knows they can call our emergency line at any time of day or night.

Our trailer pool is currently expanding to support new customer requests in Cincinnati and Louisville. When shipping volumes seem to increase unexpectedly, we quickly adjust our equipment allocation. This flexibility is why many shippers consider us their top regional carrier.

Technology plays a major role in our daily success. We use advanced load-matching software that tracks trailer utilization in real time. Our dispatchers do not guess where equipment is sitting; they always know its exact GPS location on the map.

Finally, we believe that happy drivers make a successful company. At the bottom of our internal company portal, we feature a rotating gallery of photos sent in by our drivers—showing the loyal dogs who ride along in their semi-truck cabs.
