Welcome to Atlantic Bulk Carrier

Atlantic Bulk Carrier Corporation began operations in February 1971 to provide quality bulk-hauling services at reasonable rates.  That tradition continues today at the family owned and operated contract carrier and tank leasing operation.

“We’re here to provide low-cost, quality service,” says Atlantic Bulk Carrier Corporation founder Gary W. Short.  “Our company has grown with this philosophy in mind.”

Since its founding in February 1971, Atlantic Bulk Carrier Corporation has grown to include more than 400 pieces of equipment, including a well maintained fleet of late-model tractors and some of the most specialized liquid and dry bulk tanks on the road.

Based in Providence Forge, Virginia, Atlantic Bulk Carrier covers the eastern Seaboard, as far west as Texas and as far north as Canada.  Atlantic Bulk Carrier belongs to the National Tank Truck Carriers Association and the Virginia Trucking Association.  Atlantic Bulk Carrier Corp. is active in state and national programs designed to enhance safety and promote traffic safety for all drivers.

“Always mindful of the fast-paced environment in which we live and work, Atlantic Bulk Carrier Corp. Will endeavor to provide the most reliable, on-time and cost-effective service to all its customers.  Atlantic Bulk Carrier will work through its employees to achieve this goal while emphasizing safe operations as a means to grow and prosper.”
