About Us

Family Owned, Quality Driven with Dependable Service

Akita Equipment and Auto Transport is a family-owned trucking company established in 2007, built on a strong team of experienced drivers and a fleet of over 60 modern trucks.

At Akita, we specialize in less than load (LTL), full load, oversize and overweight loads. We offer load-handling equipment from flatbeds, step decks, and double-drops to our multi-axle double-drop trailers. In addition to our open-deck trailers, we also offer trailers with a convenient Roll Tarp system to keep your valuable cargo dry and secure.

Our strong reputation precedes us, and we remain committed to delivering personal, dependable, and timely service to every customer we serve.
