ABOUT
We’re often asked, “Where does the name XLR8 come from?” For many Houstonians, it’s a familiar name. XLR8 was one of the iconic roller coasters at Astroworld, the city’s beloved theme park in the 1980s and 90s. The name reflects both speed and momentum, which are qualities that resonate strongly within the transportation industry.
Like the industry itself, transportation is fast-moving and constantly evolving. At XLR8 Delivery, we embrace that pace, delivering with precision, reliability, and a commitment to excellence.
XLR8 Delivery was founded in November 2016 by Paul Pitman with a clear vision to redefine service in this market. Built on the success of Gulf Coast Crating (GCC), XLR8 was created to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end logistics solutions for customers - because we are Driven to Deliver.
What began as a service supporting GCC’s crating operations has grown into a full-scale transportation company. Today, XLR8 Delivery proudly serves a diverse client base with a fleet of more than 125 trucks, delivering dependable solutions across a wide range of industries.
