When and how did your business get started?


In 1977 we established UNI-CARRIER, brothers Kevin and Paul Schoenbeck. Right out of High School, we began services to a variety of large and small corporations.

During the course of our business we have been honored by federal and local organizations, with numerous awards, from community service to safety related. During the infancy of our business the state and federal regulations were much tighter. This required application and maintenance of strict authority, held in numerous states.  

What is your business best known for?

UNI-CARRIER pioneered in the early years of our business the ability for same-day and critical priority shipments, among manufacturing and service businesses. Professional uniformed employees vs. the "independent contractor" sets UNI-CARRIER out for a more professional, quality delivery service.
