A Dedicated Agent with a National Network
Passa Transport is Mikel Mann's freight agency within the Armstrong Transport Group network, focused on heavy, oversized and high-value open deck freight.
Who we are
Passa Transport was built around one idea: freight that's big, heavy or expensive deserves a person who owns it from quote to delivery. Mikel Mann works this kind of freight every day, including buses and coaches, industrial presses, CNC machines, energy equipment and the oversize loads that need permits and planning before a truck is dispatched.

We focus on Houston and the Texas Gulf Coast because few places in the country ship as much heavy, high-value equipment. Refineries, chemical plants, LNG projects, fabrication shops, grid and data center buildouts, and the Port of Houston all need open deck capacity they can count on. We also move freight anywhere in the continental U.S. and Canada.
Part of the Armstrong Transport Group network
Passa Transport operates as an agent of Armstrong Transport Group, a third-party logistics company headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina. Through Armstrong, we book loads with a network of 75,000+ vetted carriers and can quote optional add-on cargo coverage, such as all-risk or gap coverage, per shipment for high-value freight.
For you, that means one dedicated contact with the carrier reach and back-office support of a national brokerage.
How we work
- Plan first. Trailer, permits, escorts and route are worked out before pickup.
- Straight answers. Clear quotes and honest timelines.
- Stay in touch. Updates at pickup, in transit and at delivery.
- Own the outcome. One person accountable for your load.

Texas OS/OW permits, permits for other states on the route, escorts and route surveys are planned before the truck is dispatched, not after it's stopped at a scale.

You work directly with Mikel from quote to delivery, with clear updates and no handoffs.
Coverage that fits the cargo
