Trucking is in Our Blood

We have been Trucking since 1946

1946

Joe Smith started Joe Smith Trucking in 1946 hauling grain and livestock, and doing corn shelling for local farmers.

Later, sons, Keith and Phil came on board and the name was changed to "Joe Smith and Sons". Dump trucks were purchased and they began hauling black top and gravel in the summer and soft water on the side.

1970s

In the early 70's, Joe's sons Keith and Phil, became partners with him and they purchased their first over-the-road semi-tractor.

They added a couple of trucks over the next several years while hauling packaged candy for Sathers Candy out of Round Lake, MN.

In 1977 Joe passed away, just a year before the newly named "Smith Trucking" obtained its own authority and began hauling boxed meat and general commodities in 48 states.
