A Focused Fleet Built on
Dry Van Freight.
Central Freight is a Louisville-based carrier serving manufacturing, automotive, retail, and distribution customers across the Midwest and Southeast — with standardized equipment and a clear, repeatable operating model.
About Central Freight
Central Freight operates Class 8 sleeper tractors paired with 53 ft dry van trailers. The company is intentionally focused on regional and dedicated dry van freight rather than trying to cover every trailer type.
That focus gives the fleet a clear operating model for customers and drivers: standardized equipment, defined freight categories, and a regional network centered on the Midwest and Southeast.

How We Run the Business
Three principles keep our operation focused, repeatable, and directly connected.
Focused Capacity
We stay centered on dry van freight that fits our fleet and operating network — no flatbed, no reefer, no scattered equipment types.
Repeatable Operations
Regional and dedicated lanes create a clearer operating model for customers and drivers. Predictable freight, predictable schedules.
Direct Communication
A focused fleet keeps dispatch, drivers, and customer communication close together — no layers, no hold queues, no corporate distance.
