The Company
What We Do
Tucker Company Worldwide is America’s oldest privately held freight broker. We specialize in critical and unique freight, like temperature-controlled; oversized; and high-value, high-security shipments. For more than 60 years, we’ve helped transportation professionals at some of the world’s top brands ensure the safe, on-time delivery of their shipments using carefully designed procedures, cutting-edge technologies, and award-winning service. We got our start arranging transportation for heavy haul shipments and project cargo for companies like Sun Oil, GE, and Rolls Royce, and then transitioned into other high-stakes industries, like life sciences; food; and high-value, high-security goods. While the freight itself is vastly different across these industries, they have more in common than one might think. They each require a laser focus on the quality controls, compliance, and regulatory requirements in place to move the freight. >> ISO-certified since 2008 >> Industry-leading 98+% on-time metrics >> Committed to reaching 100% digital, GPS-based visibility Learn more about the Tucker difference at www.tuckerco.com.
