Our primary service areas are from the Rocky Mountains to the Northeast and Southeast coast with ever increasing capacity to and from Southern California. With our specialty out of that region being freight back into the Denver, CO metro area. Increasing our ability to service the Central Plains, we have drop lots located in Grand Island, Omaha, Kansas City, Denver & Ft. Collins. Our Fleet operates both a long haul and regional service network with refrigerated and dry van components.
GIX has consistently been recognized for its safety achievements by both national and state associations, including ATA and TCA. Several of GIX's executives have also been cited as professionals of the year in their field by the Nebraska Trucking Association. Grand Island Express' drivers are consistently among the award winners in Nebraska and national competitive driving events.

Million Mile Club
While much of the transportation industry struggles with high annual driver turnover rates, often exceeding 125% among larger national carriers, GIX maintains its own fleet's driver turnover rate well below the national averages, historically as low as 25%, with even higher retention rates on dedicated projects. These driver satisfaction levels are achieved by treating drivers fairly and by making them an integral part of the "GIX family" where the door to senior management is always open for them. High driver retention translates into more consistent customer service, helping GIX achieve on of its primary goals of "putting the customer first."
GIX's safety record is among the best in the industry, while the company regularly meets demanding customer expectations for on-time pick up and delivery in today's "just in time" environment with perishable commodities. GIX's recordable DOT accident rate per million miles has varied from a low of .337 in 2008 and .403 in 2009, all well below national averages for the industry. GIX's on-time percentage runs routinely at 98% or better.
