Our Story
When Steve Brandt founded Steve’s Livestock Transport in 1987, his vision was to make a living and support his family while working in an industry he was passionate about – and to do it in a way that would align with his core values and his faith.
From that young entrepreneur and a single truck and trailer, Steve’s Livestock Transport has grown to become the largest commercial livestock carrier in North America – and a leader in the transportation industry. Through nearly three decades of growth, the company’s vision has expanded but has always stayed true to the values that started it all.

Yes! We provide new drivers with 5-weeks of in-cab training. Experienced drivers (more than 1 year OTR) will be partnered with an in-cab trainer for 2-weeks to train on Animal Handling.
Owner Operators are only required to provide a tractor that meets our specifications. Company trailers are used for all loads at no cost to the Owner Operator.
We’d be happy to discuss that option with you! Additional drivers and tractors must be pre-approved by the company and will go through our standard hiring evaluation process. We have multiple Owner Operators who successfully run with additional tractors and drivers on our fleet.

We have 24/7 Logistics support! You will have a dedicated Dispatcher during business hours and access to our on-call dispatch team after hours so you always know who to reach out to.
