🌽 2026 HARVEST HAS STARTED! 🌽

The first truckload of corn has officially hit the scales at Choctaw Transportation’s Heloise Port, and we’re looking forward to seeing many more loads roll through this harvest season!

Located in Dyer, Tennessee, the Choctaw Transportation Heloise Port is an exclusive ADM buying location, providing area producers with another convenient destination for their grain.

We’re proud to serve our local farming community and be part of another harvest season.

Here’s to a safe, productive, and successful 2026 harvest!

Keep those trucks rolling, we’re ready for you!

Protecting a Piece of Tennessee History

Choctaw Transportation is working on a project for the Tennessee Valley Authority on the Tennessee River near Loudon, Tennessee.

Over the years, erosion had washed away parts of an island and exposed Native American artifacts and burial sites. TVA moved the artifacts and graves to a safer location on the island before our work began.

Our job was simple. Protect the island.

We placed large riprap stone around the island to help keep the river from washing away more of the shoreline and to protect the site for years to come.

Sometimes river work comes down to a pretty simple idea. Put the right rock in the right place and let it do its job.

What a great day at the Choctaw Transportation & ADM Pre-Harvest Meeting!

The seats were full, the parking lot was packed, and the fellowship was even better. It was great to see so many local farmers and industry partners come together as we prepare for the 2026 harvest season.

ADM shared valuable market updates and programs designed to help ensure our local farmers receive the best possible value for the crops they’ve worked so hard to grow. Combined with great food and even better conversation, it made for a successful day of learning, planning, and strengthening our agricultural community.

At Choctaw Transportation, we’re excited to be fully operational and ready to serve our farmers throughout the 2026 harvest season.

We appreciate everyone who attended and look forward to another safe and successful harvest!

Keeping progress moving.

Every successful construction project depends on more than the crews on the ground. It takes a dedicated transportation team delivering the right materials at the right time.

Today, our Choctaw Transportation team is proud to support Ford Construction by hauling the asphalt that keep Northwest Tennessee’s road improvement projects moving safely and efficiently.

We appreciate the hard work of our drivers and everyone who plays a part in building the infrastructure our communities rely on every day.

It’s always special to discover a piece of your company’s history.

While visiting the floodwall in Hickman, Kentucky, we came across this mural of Choctaw Transportation’s M/V Gladys Ford.

We later learned it was painted by Captain Charles Bloodworth, who proudly served Choctaw Transportation from August 18, 1985, until his retirement on July 15, 1996.

Painting was one of his hobbies when he wasn’t on the river.

Just imagine the stories he could tell and everything he witnessed while navigating America’s waterways.

As Choctaw Transportation celebrates 68 years as a fourth-generation family-owned company, moments like this remind us that our legacy is built by the dedicated people who came before us.

Our current runs strong because of the people who built our legacy!
