Connections that Count

As a trucking company, everything we do is based on making connections. From point A to point B, loading dock to warehouse, our success depends on our ability to make those connections count.

Fikes Truck Line is one of the oldest trucking companies in Arkansas, founded by the Fikes family in 1941. President Jim Smith purchased the company in 1981 and began with eleven contractors transporting goods within the state.

Today, our company is a premier flat-bed and heavy haul specialist - benefiting from 48-state operating authority and brokering authority, and contracts with qualified Independent Trucking Professionals. Our fleet of independent trucking professionals is equipped to haul with flatbed, drop deck, RGN and sidekit trailers. Headquartered in Hope, Arkansas, with terminals in Alabama, Kentucky, and Texas and sales offices in Tennessee and Oklahoma, we enjoy long-standing relationships with well-known manufacturers across the United States.

Over the years, we've learned that stability and expansion in the transportation industry take more than on-time deliveries and competitive rates. More than a stellar safety record and aggressive driver retention programs. The real secret to our success is making people a priority in all of our business interactions.

At Fikes Truck Line, we don't just deliver goods. We connect people with purpose.

It's a vision that Jim Smith established and passed along from the start. It's an inspiration that influences how we approach every aspect of our business and every person we meet along the way. We strive to:

  • Extend your network.
    As the front line between your products and your customers, we provide reliable service in a professional manner. Count on Fikes to be a positive extension of your company. We'll make the right impression and help you grow your business.
  • Deliver on your promises.
    As shippers and agents, you need a transportation partnership built on consistency and trust. Many of our client relationships have lasted more than 25 years, a loyalty earned through caring. When you work with Fikes you'll know exactly what to expect, and can make guarantees to your customers with confidence.
  • Make leasing to Fikes the best contract you've ever had.
    We are keenly focused on helping Owner Operators advance goals and reach potential. In fact, several members of our management team started behind the wheel of their own truck. From business and financial training, to professional services, safety programs and more, Fikes is invested in your future and your success.
  • Forge friendships.
    We believe that good business relationships create strong friendships. Whether you are an employee, driver, customer, agent or supplier, we welcome you into the Fikes' family. We have the privilege of connecting with many dynamic individuals through this industry and hope that your interaction with Fikes is one that brings rewards to your life.
