A California carrier built around one thing.

A family-operated trucking company that does hazmat and food-grade freight — and nothing else. Since 2016, that's what we've been.

Our story

Built in Salinas. Serves California.

Earthwise Transportation, INC. is a Salinas-based California carrier founded in 2016. We were built for a specific purpose: to focus exclusively on the freight types where execution matters most. Hazardous materials. Food-grade product. Nothing else.

"Trucks don't keep office hours. Neither do we."

From day one we've operated as a family business — and that's not a marketing line. It shapes how we hire, how we train, and how we treat shippers. A real person answers our dispatch line. The driver hauling your freight has been with us for years. And when something goes off-script, we tell you the same day. Not the next.

  • Founded in Salinas in 2016 · Family-owned and operated
  • USDOT 2917586 · MC 983328 · Verifiable on SAFER

What we stand for

Principles that drive every mile.

Moving regulated freight isn't glamorous. It's about doing the basics right, repeatedly, without taking shortcuts.

Safety as Habit

We don't bolt safety onto operations — it's the floor we build on. Every driver, every shipment, every paperwork check.

Compliance, No Asterisks

Hazmat and food-grade work doesn't tolerate "close enough." We carry the credentials, follow the rules, keep the records.

Straight Talk

When things go right, we deliver and you barely hear from us. When things shift, we call early — and we tell you the truth.

Family Discipline

A small operation done well beats a large one done sloppy. We hire carefully, train consistently, keep our team for the long run.

Earthwise in Practice

Our name isn't just a brand. We maintain our equipment, plan smart routes, and respect the communities we drive through.

Around-the-Clock

Trucks roll on every hour of the clock — so dispatch does too. Day or night, a real person picks up.

Credentials

Credentials you can verify.

Every certification we claim, we can document. Ask for our COI and authorities — we'll send them.
