Pioneer Freight Systems isn’t just a company – it’s a family legacy. For over a century, we’ve been dedicated to providing reliable and efficient freight solutions across the United States. Now, with the fifth generation stepping into the driver’s seat, our commitment to excellence is stronger than ever.

A Tradition of Trust

Since 1921, Pioneer Freight has been synonymous with quality and dependability. This legacy has been built by generations of dedicated individuals who share a passion for the transportation industry. Today, that tradition continues with Chuck Kitchell (4th generation) and his son Jarett (5th generation) proudly carrying the torch.

“I grew up watching my father and grandfather build this company,” says Chuck. “It’s an honor to continue their work and now share this experience with my son.”

Jarett adds, “I’m excited to be part of the Pioneer Freight family and contribute to its future. There’s a real sense of pride knowing that I’m carrying on a tradition that started over 100 years ago.”

Passing Down More Than Just the Keys

The Kitchell’s aren’t just passing down the keys to the trucks – they’re sharing a wealth of knowledge and experience accumulated over generations. This includes:

  • A deep understanding of the industry: From navigating regulations to anticipating market trends, the Kitchell’s have a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities facing the freight industry.
  • A commitment to customer service: Pioneer Freight has always prioritized building strong relationships with clients. This dedication to customer satisfaction is ingrained in the company’s culture and passed down through each generation.
  • A passion for innovation: While honoring their history, the Kitchells are also embracing the future. They’re committed to adopting new technologies and sustainable practices to ensure Pioneer Freight remains a leader in the industry.

Driving Towards the Future

With the fifth generation on board, Pioneer Freight is poised to continue its legacy of success. The company’s dedication to family values, combined with its forward-thinking approach, ensures that it will remain a trusted partner for clients for many years to come.

“We’re not just building a business,” says Chuck, “we’re building a legacy. And with Jarett joining the team, I’m confident that the future of Pioneer Freight is in good hands.”
