Company History & Philosophy

The Waggoners Trucking is dedicated to meeting our customer’s transportation needs with professional, superior service, and with a western pride that is second to none. The road that brought our family-owned business from 1951 to today was built on a foundation of honesty and hard work.

Founded in 1951, our company began as a single truck operation when Wayne Waggoner began transporting eggs from his parents’ hatchery in Centerville, Iowa. In 1958, Wayne identified what he saw as a great business opportunity, switching from the transportation of eggs to the transportation of oversized and heavy equipment. Before long his son David, now President, developed an interest in the family business and joined the company.


By 1968 our fleet had grown to 35 trucks. Lumber and grain were added to our list of hauling services. As further opportunities arose, The Waggoners Trucking expanded to include flatbed and less-than-load (LTL) transportation services, with an emphasis on servicing the oil field industry throughout North America


In 1987, The Waggoners Trucking established the Automobile Transportation Division. The Auto Transport Division quickly grew into the company’s leading division and established The Waggoners Trucking as the largest family-owned, non-union car-haul company in the nation.


Today The Waggoners Trucking is a true pioneer and an innovative leader in the transportation industry. With the use of advanced communication technologies, specialized equipment, experienced staff, and an unsurpassed commitment to quality and customer service, The Waggoners Trucking continues the tradition of excellence it began in 1951: delivering damage-free loads on time at a fair price.
