Safety
Safety is at the forefront of all that we do in order to ensure that each and every team member makes it home to their family at the end of the day. We’re committed to doing everything we can to protect our team & our community!
Explorers Transport was founded in 1997 out of our dissatisfaction with third party fuel carriers. After too many late deliveries and missing loads, we started hauling our own fuel. Beginning with just four trucks, we now host a fleet of 40 trucks that haul over 240 million gallons of fuel across the Southeast every year.

What do you do when no one is watching? We strive to have the highest standard of integrity in our professional and personal lives. At Explorers, integrity is at the core of our identity and actions, defining who we are and how we operate.
We encourage all of our team members to respect the dignity of every human being. By doing so, we create a stronger team with a true sense of belonging and the knowledge that every team member is worthy.
Our customers and team members are the foundation of all that we do. We are committed to serving and meeting the needs of our customers in a safe, respectful and timely manner.
