Our Office Information
LESSON 5
The following information should be at your fingertips until you have it memorized. We have several names we do business as. This might sound strange and confusing, but we represent a couple larger companies, so depending on who you are talking to, the company name we represent can change. I wouldn’t get too worried about this, but it will make sense quickly enough.
Heavy Haul Trucking

Phone: 417-312-2920
Fax: 417-312-2925
Heavy Haul Trucking – This is our company and who writes your check. Our legal name is Summerset Solutions LLC, but we no longer use it to our customers, but many still know us as that name. Heavy Haul Trucking is our brand we use on our website, email, and when talking to direct customers.
Sammons Trucking
MC# 124692
FID or EIN # 20-3364486
Sammons Trucking – This company is based in Missoula, MT. They consist of approximately 300 owner operator trucks of platform type: Flatbed, Stepdeck, Double Drop, and Specialized. When calling Brokers & Logistics companies this is the name we represent ourselves as. We can only take freight from brokers with our Sammons trucks. This is why we represent ourselves in this case as Sammons Trucking and not Heavy Haul Trucking.
Matson Logistics
MC# 218094
FID or EIN# 94-3032396
Matson Logistics – We are a broker/logistics company just like the companies we work with to move freight on our Sammons Trucks. Heavy Haul Trucking does not have a broker license, we use both Sammons Trucking and Matson Logistics as our broker authority. There are two advantages of having access to two broker authority companies.
- A customer might receive credit with one company and not the other.
- A carrier might be approved with one company and not the other.
We have in both cases been able to move a load that we would not have otherwise been able to move because of a customer credit or carrier approval reason. Although this in not all that common, it does happen occasionally. When a carrier calls on a shipment we have from one of our direct customers, we process this shipment with the carrier as Matson Logistics. Sometimes we would use Sammons Trucking for a couple reasons I stated above, but typically we broker through Matson Logistics. Because it is Matson that the contract and payment to the carrier will be made with, we use the name Matson Logistics with these carriers.
