Gaines Transportation LLC | Application Preview
Gaines Transportation LLC is seeking government grants to expand its operations by investing in equipment and recruiting more drivers. The company has established a trailer interchange agreement with Univar Solutions in Middletown, Pennsylvania, where it has been responsible for transporting hazardous materials since August 2020.
The business plan focuses on building a team of qualified Class A tractor-trailer drivers to support the strong relationships developed with just one semi truck. Gaines Transportation documents agreements for transporting hazardous materials to various locations including wastewater treatment facilities, schools, military bases, and more, primarily within Pennsylvania and surrounding states like West Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey.
Funding is crucial, as many potential clients have expressed financial struggles, and there is a consistent demand for services due to a shortage of reliable contractors. The company faces competition from rising semi truck prices, COVID-related disruptions, and a general shortage of workforce. However, Gaines Transportation holds a competitive edge through its reliable partnerships and access to well-paying freight, particularly through its ongoing work with Univar Solutions.
