In 1995, GFI Transport established Garber Brokerage, Inc. (GBI) to accommodate additional loads for our customers and to meet the needs of other carriers. Today GBI has a solid base of owner-operated trucks pulling all types of trailers—walking-floors, dump trailers, flatbeds, van trailers, and hoppers.
Garber Brokerage utilizes a team of reliable, committed owner/operators, some of whom have been hauling loads for us since we started in 1995. We also maintain relationships with hundreds of other owner/operators in all parts of the continental U.S. to handle any logistical need you may have.
We are always looking for safe, experienced owner/operators. Garber Brokerage, Inc. offers good paying loads, on-time payments and a great working environment. If you are interested in
