Our Heritage

Indian River Transport has a rich history that underscores its success. Founded by Jack Harned in 1974, the company quickly grew under his leadership. However, in 1982, Jack made the strategic decision to sell the company to United Transport, a division of BET PLC.

Under John’s leadership, Indian River Transport solidified its reputation as one of the largest and most respected food-grade carriers in North America. To this day, the company remains committed to customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.
