The trucks are mainly made by Isuzu, and large trucks down to small trucks for express delivery use are deployed. For small trucks, the Mitsubishi Fuso Canter is used. Kintetsu Group also has a deep connection with Hino Motors. From 2012 large trucks made by Hino were reintroduced (they had been purchased in the past). Trucks made by Toyota and UD Trucks equipped with Hino engines are used. The coating uses green as a base, and yellow and red lines are inserted. "福山通運" (Fukuyama Transporting) is painted on the front, and "札幌← →沖縄" (Sapporo← →Okinawa) was formerly written as well. Some 2 ton and 4 ton box trucks are equipped with a power deck, which moves the bed of the truck. In recent years they have cooperated with the city of Fukuyama, where the company was founded, on sightseeing efforts. Besides putting stickers reading "The Town of Roses – Fukuyama" on the rear doors, for trucks in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, from 2015 there are also stickers of "Rola", Fukuyama City's mascot.
