Buanno Transportation was founded in 1936 by Henry Buanno. He started out with one truck and trailer shipping freight for leather tanneries between Fulton County in upstate New York and the New York City area. Today, Buanno Transportation is one of the oldest trucking companies in New York State and was one of the first to haul twin trailers on the NYS Thruway and Massachusetts Turnpike. In the early days, Henry learned every aspect of the trucking industry from the Great Depression through deregulation. Today, Henry’s children own and operate the family business. They continue to provide quality services to all customers. In the past decade, Buanno Transportation has increased its fleet to over 300 pieces of equipment. Loads are dispatched throughout the New England and Mid-Atlantic states. Buanno also hauls loads in Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Safety is an important concern for Buanno Transportation. The company holds quarterly safety meeting with all its drivers and mechanics; the NYS DOT and various transportation consultants have been guest speakers at Buanno meetings. In 2002, Buanno held its first Safety Awards Banquet. Drivers were honored for dedicated years of service, accident-free driving records, and top mileage. The company has generated a safety screening program for all drivers on a regular basis. The company has diversified the commodities it hauls. The following goods are handled by Buanno: silicones, latex paints, oil mats, juices, baby food, gum, candy, paper, plastics, machinery, leather, gloves, paint, tanning agents, citrus, beer, boat supplies, farm equipment, electronics, and agricultural fertilizers. With the experience and dedication of prompt delivery services, Buanno is confident they can handle all your shipping needs!
