Transportation

In 1977, Jerry Churchill had been a very successful freight salesman in the Michigan-Ontario area for more than 6 years. When the opportunity came along to be an agent for a nationwide company, he jumped at the chance, and Churchill Transportation was born. With a small office in Dearborn, MI., and a loyal customer following, Churchill became a highly successful freight broker specializing in Canadian freight moving between the U.S. and Canada. In 1978, Frank Butler joined Jerry and in November 1980, they moved to the present location in Detroit. Progress was slow but successful and in 1984 began to develop a relationship with the Chrysler Corporation. Things moved rapidly after that, and when Joe Bromley joined Churchill in 1990, things took off. By the mid 90′s, the company had annual revenues of 45 million. Serving the USA, Canada, and offering thru-trailer service to Mexico, Churchill had become an award winning carrier with Chrysler and an expert in JIT transportation.. Operating over 150 tractors, 400 fifty-three foot air-ride vans and various other specialty trailers, they are the largest carrier domiciled in Detroit, MI. Utilizing state-of-the-art Qualcomm communications, EDI billing, and most of all, the highest standard of driver requirements, compensation, and supervision, Churchill should be high on your list when selecting a carrier with an excellent track record in time-sensitive JIT and other expedited operations.
