Company History
Pinch Transport is a proven leader in the oilfield logistics industry. Based in Houston, Texas, Pinch has delivered oilfield equipment and consumables, pipe, steel, and machinery nationwide for over 40 years, gradually expanding beyond its core oilfield flatbed LTL services to add warehousing, intermodal freight, third-party logistics (3PL), and expedited Load & Go services.
By acquiring other established transportation services and integrating those service offerings alongside air freight transportation and local pickup and delivery, the privately held company’s footprint has steadily grown with every expansion, stretching across Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Wyoming, North Dakota, Montana, California, the Marsellus basin, and Canada, strengthening its market position as the go-to logistics provider in the energy sector.
With a fleet of more than 500 specialty freight trucks, Pinch’s dominant presence in oilfield logistics offer a complete, end-to-end solution under one brand, consolidating multiple shipments at 30% lower costs, passing those savings and efficiencies on to its customers with operations spanning every major oil and gas basin in North America – cementing its reputation as the UPS of Oilfield Logistics in the process.
