BTI Special Commodities, Inc. is a flatbed trucking company based in Des Moines, Iowa. BTI was founded in 1988 and has been providing dedicated transportation logistics solutions for over 30 years. We established a motto early and have stuck by our motto throughout the years. "BTI strives to provide high-quality equipment, to haul high-quality freight, for high-quality customers, and to provide high-quality wages to high-quality drivers".
BTI has been fortunate to hire some of the most dedicated drivers and independent contractors in the trucking business. We pride ourselves on the fact that 21 of our drivers and independent contractors have attained "Million Mile Driver" status at BTI, as well as 9 at the Two Million Mile level and 1 at 3 Million Miles. These recognitions are accomplished by every driver reaching each milestone accident-free during their tenure with BTI, an accomplishment that is unusual in our industry. Customers can be assured that their freight is being delivered by experienced and extremely professional drivers.
Professionalism exudes safety. BTI Special Commodities, Inc. was recognized with the Iowa Motor Truck Association’s overall Iowa Grand Champion "Fleet Safety Award" in 1997 and 2007.
