American Boat Carriers
We are a family-owned and operated business with almost 40 years experience
in the transportation industry. In today’s world, freight moves
faster and is more complex then ever. Fuel prices change daily, and
often special equipment is necessary. We know that it is critical
that you get a quick answer to your transportation needs. Our staff
is trained to only quote with available equipment. You will find our
level of service far superior to those who quote and cannot perform.
We are proficient in all aspects of the transportation industry, but
boats and yachts are our specialty. |

Josh Allman
Owner Operator
Josh is the sole owner of American Boat Carriers LLC, and he is one of the
youngest entrepreneurs in the boat transportation business. Don’t
let his young age divert you though, at 24, he is going into his sixth year
in the trucking business. He currently owns seven late model power units
and seven 53’ trailers. Josh works closely with many of the largest
boat manufacturers throughout the United States and Canada. If you are ever
in need of a boat hauled, Josh is the guy to call. |

Dean Allman
Well, of course, Dean is the guy that had something to do with Josh being
in the trucking business in the first place.
Dean started his career with Weyerhaeuser Corporation in 1966 working
in the sales department. By 1967, he had excelled to the number one salesman
in the nation. Realizing Dean’s sales savvy, Wyco wanted to send
Dean and his new wife, Kathy, off to Chicago, Illinois to run their customer
service center. After much thought, however, they decided to move to Oregon
instead where the land was beautiful, lumber was plentiful and there would
be plenty of work. After a short while in Oregon, Dean knew that he wanted
to truck lumber for a living. One thing led to another and Dean has been
involved in the trucking business ever since. There are very few things
that he has not hauled, but his favorite has always been boats, the bigger
the better. |

Kathy Allman
This is the gal that truly has the toughest job of all. You have all
heard the term pulling rabbits out of a hat! Well that is what she does
every day that she comes to work. To hear her tell it, the entire trucking
industry is underpaid, overworked, overtaxed, and over-insured. As Kathy
puts it, “God bless us all in the trucking industry as we move America’s
products 24 hours a day, seven days a week!”
Kathy handles all of the accounts payable for not only American Boat
Carriers, but also all the accounts payable for Pro-Line Logistics, her
own freight brokerage company.

Deanna Jones
Deanna is also part of the family, and works here part-time. She handles
the billing and helps Teri and Kathy with whatever needs to be done. We
find her invaluable and would love to have her full-time; however she
is busy being a wife and mother.
