We Practice
What We Preach

We believe in the golden rule; treating others with the same respect and care that we would treat our own family members. If you have an upcoming high school graduation to attend, you can rest easy knowing that you will have a front row seat. In fact, we’ve been “Celebrating Faith & Family since 1945,” and our trucks proudly display this cherished foundation.

People have often stopped our drivers to express their love for our trucks that showcase the importance of families spending time together.
