Usher Transport, Inc. is a family owned and operated business Headquartered in Louisville, KY. Usher Transport's inception was in the late 1940's with a handshake deal between Harlan Usher and Mr. Putnam establishing the Usher fleet. The company is currently run by the Third Generation of the Usher family with the Fourth Generation already in the wings for training when we celebrated our 60th anniversary in 2006.

The company's current role in the tank-transport industry is that of both chemical and petroleum transport. A large portion of our business deals with the safe and efficient transport of petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuels, bulk oils, and solvents. We manage the fuel inventories at a large number of gas stations for our customers allowing them to concentrate on other aspects of their business besides transportation.

Our continued growth and success is due largely to our dedication to the customer's needs and attention to detail. Few carriers in today's market are willing to extend the extra effort it takes to put the personal touch back in this business which often seems to be nothing more than a numbers game. If you would like to receive traditional, honest, values based service descended from that original handshake deal with Harlan Usher and that can only come from a family owned business dedicated to the need of their customers, call the company whose motto is "Our Only Product is Service."
