Hines Trucking, Inc. provides truck-load hauling service of residuals in Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi. Each week, HTI typically hauls 200 million pounds of wood chips, a by-product of lumber mills, to paper mills that use them as raw materials.
Innovations by HTI in custom specifications for equipment allow us to move more tons in fewer loads than our competitors. This reduces exposure to the general public, congestion in mills, and other factors that enhance safety and performance.
HTI built its reputation and business on getting wood chips and other timber by-products to mills when needed — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. Hines Trucking is customer-oriented, flexible and able to handle mills' needs which vary greatly from day-to-day. HTI has the equipment to handle the ups and downs. We can move trucks and drivers to meet any demand.
Customers can call our chip haul customer service and dispatch us at any time — day or night — and we can adjust our schedule to meet their needs.
Our chip haul trucks pioneered the industry with "super single" tires. Trailers have only 4 tires, instead of the customary 8 tires. Tractors have 6 tires instead of the customary 10 tires. The reduced tire weight allows each load to carry about two additional tons, and increases the miles per gallon fuel efficiency.
HTI operates two fuel sites at mills to assist drivers in fast and efficient refueling.
