About LHP Transportation Services

LHP Transportation Services, Inc. was established March 18, 1993,as a joint venture between Prime, Inc. of Springfield, Missouri, and Lee Hampton. This union has enhanced our ability to move freight nationally and internationally. Until January 1, 1998, LHP had been a contract freight carrier, but at that time we made the transition to a lead logistics provider. We have found that we can better serve all our customers’ needs from this new position. We have all ICC authorities, bonds and insurance to handle a wide variety of business nationally and internationally.
