Built in Columbus.
Driven nationwide.
YSA Transport is a dry van truckload carrier with a simple idea behind it: do one thing well, communicate like a partner, and never leave a shipper wondering where their freight is.
Our story
A focused carrier, on purpose.
Plenty of carriers try to be everything to everyone. We took the opposite path. YSA runs 53‑foot dry van freight across the 48 contiguous states from our base in Columbus, Ohio — and we pour our energy into doing that reliably instead of spreading thin across a dozen services.
Columbus isn't an accident, either. Sitting on the I‑70/I‑71 corridor puts roughly 60% of the U.S. population within a one-day drive. That geography means shorter deadhead, tighter transit times, and lanes that stay dependable — the kind of consistency shippers and drivers both want.
At a glance
What we stand on
Four things we don't compromise.
Safety First
Every truck monitored 24/7 with Samsara telematics — electronic logs, HOS, and driving behavior, always on.
Straight Talk
Clear rates, clear settlements, clear updates. If there's a problem, you'll hear it from us first.
Total Visibility
Real-time GPS on every load. Shippers see their freight; drivers get dispatch that's actually reachable.
Reliability
We treat appointment windows as commitments, and we protect the lanes our customers count on.
Technology & compliance
The technology of a much bigger fleet.
You don't need to be huge to run like it. Every YSA tractor is Samsara-equipped, giving us real-time GPS, automatic ETAs, electronic logging, and compliance handling on a single modern platform.
- ClearLane real-time visibility on 100% of the fleet, powered by Samsara.
