About Us

Our Focus Area/Footprint

While we’re equipped to handle nationwide deliveries, our primary focus is on the Midwest, specializing in routes throughout Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. This regional expertise allows us to provide faster, more efficient service, backed by local knowledge and experience.

Associate Longevity

We value our associate’s and their long tenures, averaging approximately 7 years with Northfield Trucking. We believe this is a testament to our supportive work environment. Many of our drivers have been part of the Northfield family for years, providing the continuity and professionalism that our clients appreciate.
