A rail-served freight house in Boise and a second facility in Tooele, Utah. Family-owned and operated since 1902 — now in its fifth generation, and still the number you call gets answered by a Compton.
Most Treasure Valley 3PLs can store your freight or haul it. Compton can take it off a railcar, hold it, pick it, and put it on a truck to the jobsite — without it ever leaving the same operation.
Receiving A-frame, center-beam, and box cars on our own spur. Lumber, OSB, plywood, steel, shingles, pavers and building materials come off the rail, get staged in the yard, and go out on our trucks on your schedule.
Rack, pallet and bulk storage with inventory visibility. Inbound and outbound handling under one roof.
Freight in and back out without touching a storage rack. Consolidation and deconsolidation for regional distribution.
Our own fleet and our own drivers. FTL and LTL across southern Idaho with guaranteed capacity.
Final mile delivery across the Treasure Valley — appliances, building materials, furniture and oversize freight.
E-commerce fulfillment, palletizing, kitting and repack out of the Boise facility.
Indoor and outdoor commercial storage, including yard space for oversize and seasonal freight.
Every shortlist starts with capacity. These are the numbers a shipper needs before they will call — published plainly instead of hidden behind a contact form.
Compton Transfer & Storage started hauling coal behind horses in 1902. The freight changed, the equipment changed, and the century changed — the family did not. Five generations later a Compton still answers the phone, which is not a line most 3PLs in this market can write.
