Our History:
Founded in 1974 on a foundation of driver-focused principles and guided by a family-focused mindset, owner Jack Harned led the company into a period of significant success. In 1982, Harned made the decision to sell Indian River to United Transport, a division of BET PLC, a British conglomerate.
Indian River was reacquired by Harned’s son, John Harned, Jr., in 1993 and once again, business boomed. Under the leadership of John Harned, Jr., the Florida-based company has grown and prospered, developing into one of the industry’s largest and most respected food grade carriers.
