The company’s history traces back to 1927 when its predecessor began hauling livestock from Omaha, Nebraska. In 1937 Shaffer Trucking started delivering chocolate in Pennsylvania, later becoming a major carrier of food and temperature‑sensitive loads. Crete Carrier itself was founded in Crete, Nebraska, in 1966 with six leased trailers and its first customer, ALPO dog food. Today the corporation operates three specialized driving divisions, each supported by driver‑recruitment specialists and dedicated sales teams that handle rate quotes, contract inquiries, fuel surcharge questions, and load tracking. Corporate functions such as human resources, transportation claims, and executive offices are headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska.

The Phoenix facility sits on South 16th Avenue, about 0.2 mile from South 15th Avenue and the Maricopa Freeway, and a short distance from West Maricopa Freeway. It is also roughly 0.4 mile from the Phoenix Fire Department’s Resource Management office, South 19th Avenue, and the Black Canyon Freeway.
