Brauns Express

Brauns Express is a trucking company in Dalton, GA, operating as a freight carrier and logistics provider. The company specializes in complete supply-chain logistics for carpeting and flooring products and also offers transportation and logistics solutions applicable to other industries. Its service area covers the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest United States, with regular pickups at all Northwest Georgia carpet mills and its own consolidation in Dalton. Braun's Express has been operating since the early 1930s, when original owner Joe Braun of Medway, Massachusetts started with one truck; the business was purchased and incorporated in 1967 by Roy Nutting and later developed competitive, timely air freight delivery in the Boston metro area. It holds a rating of 3.80.

The company is woman-owned and operated, and owners Cynthia and David Normandin refer to it as a small family run business. It operates 11 regional facilities, including 10 delivery facilities across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Midwest combined with an origin facility in Dalton, serving 21 full states and portions of 25 others. Braun's Express has developed specialized carpet and flooring services since 1996, using carpet spec trailers and specialized handling equipment at its facilities and on its trucks. Its facilities are clean, heated, and secure, staffed by distribution personnel, and use material handling equipment for prompt, damage-free delivery. Warehousing and storage are available at its delivery facilities, scalable from a single bin to several thousand square feet, for short-term projects or permanent dock space. The company also offers customized technology solutions and has completed integrations with a range of customer systems.

The Dalton location sits on Bear Creek Road, about 0.3 miles from Drowning Bear Creek and half a mile from Tar Creek. Southeast Whitfield High School is roughly 1.2 miles away, and the site is a short distance from South Dixie Road and Admiral Mack Gaston Parkway, both about 1.3 miles off.
