Dohrn Transfer Company is a family-operated trucking firm providing less-than-truckload services across eight Midwestern states. Headquartered in Rock Island, Illinois, the company emphasizes reliability, continuous improvement, and safety as core priorities to deliver a personal customer experience. Founded in 1921 by Charles Dohrn, the business began with a single wood-slatted truck and a daily Rock Island–Kewanee route, and it has grown into a multi-state LTL carrier with a long-running family leadership lineage. Today, Dohrn operates within the PITT OHIO Transportation Group, drawing on the shared experience of its partners, including US Cargo and Ross Express, as well as the regional LTL network of PITT OHIO. In May 2026, the firm appointed Robert Howard as president and chief executive officer, the first CEO in the company's history.
