Hampton’s transportation group is divided into four segments: rail, truck, container and reloads. Their responsibility is to maintain contact with our carriers and customers throughout the shipping process – ensuring that the product and the documentation needed arrive on time and in good order.

Our dedicated rail team works with the rail carriers to coordinate and trace railcars throughout the system. We currently work with main line and short line railroads throughout the US and Canada to move our lumber to its final destination.

The service-oriented truck division dispatches and traces all truck deliveries to our customers’ nation-wide. They also dispatch trucks to and from our reload sites, to customers in each reload’s serving area. In addition to top-quality customer service, our team looks for ways to provide efficiencies for our customers.

Working with our export/import teams, the transportation department is responsible for the booking of all containers going in and out of our own reload centers as well as various shipping terminals.

Hampton operates both origin and destination reloads which are located in key strategic locations to provide added value services in support of Hampton mills, sales department, and customer base.
