About Go-To Transport​

Our story began in 1983 with one location in Bay City, MI. Forty years and three generations of family later, we’ve grown into one of the most well-respected fleets in the region and added locations in Saginaw, Romulus, Green Bay, Wisconsin, and Chattanooga, Tennessee. A certified Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE), the Go-To name is proudly carried across the continental United States and parts of Canada by 200 tractors and 600 trailers for around the corner runs and coast-to-coast hauls.

One thing has been central to our success – family. We’re family-run and family-focused. That priority is part of who we are and how we run things. Ask anyone at Go-To, from the staff at the home office to our drivers on the road, and they’ll tell you that they feel like they’re part of the family.

Go-To tractors carry loads of every size but there’s only one thing we deliver – excellence.  Excellence in safety, fleet reliability, operational processes and the driver experience. Over the years, we’ve built a reputation for driving the extra mile and earned the trust of some of the biggest automotive, packaging, chemical and consumer brands along the way. 

Our wheels started turning four decades ago. We’ve come a long way and covered millions of miles since then. From trucks on the road to secure warehouses and cross-docks to a staff of experienced and proven logistic professionals, Go-To is ready to get every delivery where it needs to go.
