Dohrn – Indianapolis

Dohrn - Indianapolis is a trucking company in Indianapolis, IN. As a terminal location for Dohrn, it connects to a carrier that has served Midwest shipping needs since Charles Dohrn founded Dohrn Transfer Company in 1921 in Rock Island, IL with a single wood slatted truck and one route. The Indianapolis location is part of a network that now spans 9 states with 23 terminals, joined the Pitt Ohio Transportation Group in 2014, and provides less-than-truckload services alongside a focus on safety, service excellence, and customer experience. Dohrn operates a next-day express lane between Kansas City and Indianapolis and is relocating its Plymouth operations to a new South Bend terminal. Customers rate the business 3.40 across 48 reviews. Dohrn has built a multi-generational family operation. Charles Dohrn started the business in 1921; his grandson Gary Dohrn learned the business from a young age and, after the company was sold in 1981 to Tiger International, opened a public warehouse and later expanded into less-than-truckload services. Under Gary's leadership the operation grew to over 500 power units and 1,200 employees. Gary's son Joe Dohrn spun off Logiflow, a logistics company, from Dohrn in 2016, and it continues to operate under the Pitt Ohio Transportation Group umbrella. The carrier has received several industry recognitions, including the 2023 Mastio Quality Award from MASTIO's 19th Edition U.S. LTL Carrier Customer Value & Loyalty Report, the 2023 Quest for Quality Award, Transplace's Regional LTL Carrier of the Year for 2020, and placement on FourKites' Q3 2021 Premier Carrier List. The Indianapolis terminal sits on W Morris Street, about 0.3 miles from Eagle Creek and the Dwight D Eisenhower Highway, roughly 0.4 miles from Blue Lake, and approximately 0.7 miles from Peace Park. Dohrn maintains a steady record of repeat and referred customers, a reflection of its long Midwest roots and family-led approach to LTL service in Indianapolis.
