Lida, el comentario de Vitaliy me ha hecho afinar más mi respuesta y creo que esta podría ser muy válida:

"empresa de transporte (terrestre) de camiones" o "empresa camionera de transporte".

Espero que te sea útil.
Saludos.

In response to Mercedes' "Tu propuesta "compañía de camiones" no transfiere el matiz de transporte terrestre (importante en este contexto)."
Whereas "dray" means in the contemporary context "truck(ing)", thence, please, see
Oxford Dictionary for
TRUCK - a wheeled vehicle, in particular a large road vehicle, used for carrying goods, materials, or troops; a lorry
When according to the EN-ES Oxford Dictionary, the Spanish for "truck" is "camión" and "trucking" meaning "transportación en camión".
Dray transportation means land transportation, excluding rail, i.e. wheeled road transportation, which is equivalent to trucking.

Example sentence(s):

Sin embargo, una compañía de camiones de transporte de mercancías cerca es más probable que para entrar a la entrega de más rápido sin necesidad de añadir todos los gastos extraordinarios.
...en 1946 el edificio fue utilizado como oficinas para una compañía de camiones
