Company Description

Daim, which is pronounce like the word “dame” is an acronym for Diversified Agricultural and Industrial Markets. That name says a lot about who we are and where we came from. The company’s founders, Chris and Pat Oare, started out in the agriculture field and quickly found that their real calling was in the transportation business. Not traveling far from their roots, they began transporting goods for many agricultural businesses and quickly spread to industrial markets as well and so, when the company was formed, the DAIM acronym soon followed!
We are diversified in our name and in our business model, we handle multiple types of fright for our customers. Currently we haul dry, tanker, and flatbed freight depending on what the customer needs for that shipment. Daim does not consider customers a customer we consider them a partner. This model has allowed DAIM to grow with each partner.
DAIM Trucking expanded quickly from two trucks to 65 trucks and consolidated operations under one roof. In 2009, DAIM Trucking moved into 30,000 sq ft custom built office and maintenance facility with 8 acres of working yard space and outside storage. In 2022 a 55,000 sq ft pharmacal grade warehouse completed. In 2024 Daim added a 50,000 sq ft commercial warehouse and a 60,000 sq ft lumber yard. Our location is less than 2 miles from the NYS Thruway (I-90, exit 28), the primary Northeast transportation corridor. Soon after, DAIM Trucking started a full-service freight brokering division servicing the entire 48 states to ensure full coverage of their customer shipping needs.
We are dedicated to a culture of nondiscrimination on any basis, including race, color, gender, religion, military status, marital status, sexual orientation, age, national origin, ancestry, handicap, or disability. We truly believe in inclusion on many levels. Not only because it’s smart business, but because we are dedicated to doing what is right. It is true that by being an inclusive employer, you gain powerful insight from countless varieties of different perspectives, and that talent and hard work comes in all shapes and sizes, races and genders.
As a veteran owned company, we will ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity for hard work and success because that is who we are and what we stand for.
