Rooted in the
Upper Midwest

Barnhart Trucking was founded on a simple belief: the best logistics companies are built locally, operated honestly, and measured by whether a shipper's goods arrive in one piece and on schedule.

Based in Thief River Falls, Minnesota, we serve shippers, distributors, and manufacturers across Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and the broader Upper Midwest. Our team understands the terrain — the weather, the routes, the deadlines — because this is home.

What Our Partners Say

"Barnhart has been our go-to carrier for regional freight for years. They show up when they say they will, and communication is always clear. That's rare in this business."

JM
James M.
Operations Manager, Ag Supply Co.

"We switched from a national carrier and the difference is night and day. Barnhart treats our freight like it matters. They've never lost a load or missed a window."

SK
Sarah K.
Logistics Director, Northern Distributors

"As a small manufacturer, I need a trucking company that listens. Barnhart gives me the same attention a national carrier would — but with a personal touch that actually helps."
