Since opening our doors in 1997, Hess Equipment has grown into a trusted name in equipment shipping for customers across the U.S. and Canada. What began as a small operation rooted in reliability and personalized service has evolved into a specialized logistics solution built around the unique needs of equipment buyers and sellers.
From the start, we noticed a major challenge facing equipment buyers: finding dependable, cost-effective shipping that could handle large, heavy, or sensitive machinery. In response, we built our own in-house logistics operation—designed specifically to deliver tractors, skid steers, implements, and construction equipment safely and on time, every time.
Competitive Shipping Rates—Without Sacrificing Service
One thing that sets us apart? We don’t rely on third-party carriers or brokers. Instead, we manage our own fleet of trucks and trailers, giving us total control over your equipment’s journey. This not only ensures faster, safer delivery but also allows us to offer some of the most competitive shipping rates in the industry—rates we’re proud to pass directly to our customers.
We know that every dollar counts, especially when you’re making a major equipment investment. By negotiating better rates and cutting out unnecessary middlemen, we help you get your machinery delivered without surprise fees or delays.
Built on Relationships and Reliability
Over the decades, we’ve worked with everyone from family farmers and hobbyists to large-scale commercial operations. No matter the size of the order, our approach remains the same: deliver every piece of equipment with care, urgency, and professionalism. Our customers trust us not just to ship their machines, but to protect their investment from our lot to their property.
We’ve built long-term relationships because we’ve kept our promise: deliver what we sell, the right way.
Smarter Shipping Through Innovation
As technology has evolved, so have we. Our shipping operations now feature:
- Real-time tracking so customers can monitor their deliveries every step of the way
- Online booking and customer support tools for a smoother, faster shipping process
- Efficient routing and scheduling to minimize delivery times and maximize satisfaction
Whether you’re down the road or across the country, you’ll know exactly where your equipment is and when it’ll arrive.
A Strategic Shift for Equipment Buyers
In 2008, we expanded our logistics service to better meet the growing demand for tailored shipping solutions for equipment sold through Hess Equipment. This initiative let us focus even more on meeting the specific needs of our buyers, offering white-glove service that treats each piece of equipment as a priority—not just another freight item.
Our drivers and staff are specially trained to handle a wide range of equipment types, ensuring secure transport from start to finish.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
We’re also committed to doing our part for the environment. By optimizing delivery routes and investing in fuel-efficient transport solutions, we’re reducing our carbon footprint—without compromising on service. Our customers appreciate knowing that their shipment supports sustainable practices in agriculture and equipment sales.
The Road Ahead
Nearly 30 years later, we’re still pushing forward—investing in people, tools, and processes that make shipping easier, faster, and more cost-effective for our customers. Whether you’re buying a single tractor or outfitting an entire fleet, you can count on Hess Equipment to handle the delivery with the care and attention your purchase deserves.
When you ship with us, you’re not just getting logistics—you’re gaining a partner who’s committed to your success, every mile of the way.
