Fort Transfer then broadened its operations to include the transportation of hazardous material. Since the merger, Roger’s complete dedication in building one of the finest transportation companies in the country has earned Fort Transfer a reputation as a company that sets the standards for all others. In 2001, keeping Fort Transfer family owned and operated, Brad Kahler, the son of Roger Kahler completed his degree from Colorado State and came back to be the President of Fort Transfer.
