Tim Dunfee, Owner-Operator of Fire Chief Transport
Tim's path here ran from the Air Force through 26 years with the U.S. Forest Service. Hauling and logistics were part of the job before they were the business, and he started the company to get back to doing it himself.
Straight from pickup to delivery
We can handle anything from short regional runs to cross-country hauls. Your freight rides on its own truck, not a shared load routed through terminals, so it goes straight there. The same driver has it the whole way and plans the run around your timeline.
