About Us

Where We Started

Inontime Truck with a man

Inontime was started by Jack Lanning in 1998, with an old straight truck and a commitment to customers, people, and Biblical Principles. It has grown to a fleet of over 150 Semi tractors, 600 dry van and reefer trailers, 40 straight trucks and a dozen cargo vans.

Our first warehouse opened in 2006. One 10,000 sq. ft. (about twice the area of a basketball court) warehouse has grown to almost a million square feet of space in multiple warehouse facilities, located in Michigan, Ohio, and South Carolina, capable of storing and managing a wide range of goods, with cross-docking and secure cargo services.
