Our Story...
In the heart of our story is a family’s dream that took off in the early ’70s. Our grandfather, a former bar owner and entrepreneur, founded a trucking company with a truck, a set of bottom dumps, and a tireless spirit. His journey wasn’t just about trucking; it was about laying the foundation for a legacy that would extend far beyond the miles he covered.
Growing up, the sound of diesel engines and the sight of big trucks were our playground. We learned life’s lessons in the cab of a truck, flipping switches and playing on the equipment, much to our grandfather’s patient amusement. Those trucks weren’t just machines to us; they were a part of our family, each with its own story and a shared journey on the open road.
Our bond with trucking deepened with every ride alongside our grandfather, eventually leading us to follow in his footsteps. Armed with our CDLs and driven by the same pioneering spirit, we expanded on the family business. From a humble fleet, we grew to operate 25 trucks, navigating the challenges and triumphs of the trucking industry. We learned a lot of hard lessons.
Our vision went beyond just scaling our operations. We understood the heartbeats behind the wheels – the relentless truckers who face the industry’s unpredictability, the mounting expenses, and the often overlooked contributions to our economy. It was time to shift gears and drive a change.
With The Trucker Union, we’re steering towards a future where truckers are no longer the last to be paid and the least acknowledged. Our journey has equipped us with not just trucks, but tools to empower the trucking community. From SaaS products and consulting to dispatch services, we’ve built an ecosystem designed to fuel success for trucking companies, big and small.
We are more than a trucking company; we are a testament to the resilience, dedication, and spirit of the trucking community. Our mission is to transform the industry in a way that places truckers at the forefront, recognizing their hard work, mitigating their risks, and rewarding their efforts in keeping our world moving.
