Miller Transfer and Rigging Company (“Miller Transfer”) was founded in 1968, after the purchase of the operating rights and property from Miller Transfer & Storage, a local trucking company. After the purchase, the name was changed to Miller Transfer and Rigging Company. It was at this time, this newly formed company began directing its efforts to the transport of steel products and industrial machinery within a three state area of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan. Miller Transfer remained at the Clarion, Pennsylvania facility until 1970 when they purchased land in Edinburg, Ohio. They constructed a five thousand square foot building, which housed both dispatch and a maintenance facility. The new location was chosen because of its close proximity to the major interstates and their industrial customer base. After relocating to Edinburg, Ohio, Miller Transfer began to develop its business strategy of transporting heavy machinery including expanding operating rights to service all points within and east of the Mississippi river. During the 1980’s, the company grew significantly, adding terminals throughout the Eastern United States. Not only did the company’s legal dimension freight volume grow, its heavy haul business was also expanding. As manufacturing increased during this time period, so did the sizes and weights of the commodities transported. As the result of the increase in product sizes and weights, along with state bridge restriction weight laws, the use of multi-axle equipment became prevalent. These multi-axle heavy haul units allowed trucking companies to transport significantly heavier weights within the each states’ weight restriction mandates. Miller Transfer was at the forefront of this exciting time in the trucking industry. The company purchased its first multi-axle trailer in 1985 and continued to expand its heavy haul fleet throughout the 1980’s, 1990’s, and 2000’s. It also grew its independent contractor fleet significantly during this time period. Today, Miller Transfer operates eighteen terminals nationwide and services the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
