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.

SAFE & SECURE
The most valuable part of every load we haul sits up front in the cab. We’ve built a reputation for safety and earned recognition for the practices we live out every day.
CLEANER & GREENER
When we say we’re serious about sustainability, we mean it. As a proud EPA SmartWay Partner, we’re committed to putting meaningful action behind our pledge to shrink our carbon footprint.
MAINTENANCE & RELIABILITY
Delivering excellence starts with complete mechanical care from bumper to bumper. Every tractor and trailer in the Go-To fleet is backed by expert maintenance and repair work to keep them on the road for the long haul.
