Built around one truck and a straight answer

Gregory Madonna has run freight out of Humboldt County for two decades. Madonna Bros Exp stayed a single-truck operation on purpose — no dispatch board, no fleet of subcontractors, just one rig kept in good repair and a schedule built around getting your freight there on time.

Based in Rio Dell, the truck runs regular lanes up the I-5 corridor into Oregon and Washington, and down through Sacramento to the Bay Area, picking up backhauls along the way to keep rates fair.

Regular lanes, not a coin flip

The truck runs these corridors every week, so a load along the route usually means a faster pickup and a better rate than a one-off booking.
