Osborne Trucking Company

OUR AMERICAN DREAM
In the 1950’s, my father, Orville Osborne, set out to escape the cycle of poverty that had plagued his family for decades. Working three jobs just to make ends meet, dad saved every dime he could so that him and my mom, Joyce, could buy a truck and start a trucking company. He took out a $600 loan to buy his first truck and obtain his operating authority, and on March 3, 1959, Osborne Trucking Company was born.

My dad was from a coal-mining town in Pike County Kentucky; a place where coal was king, and a man’s job was to get into the mines and feed his family. Having dropped out in the 8th grade, his life was on that path as he joined his father in the mines. Watching the trucks pull in and out of the mines everyday fascinated dad, and those trucks became not only his passion, but what he saw as his way out. After a near death accident, where a cave-in had pinned him down by his arm, he knew he could never return to that life: he needed to get out of Pikeville.

In a town like that, no one was supposed to leave. Elders saw it as reckless and haphazard: foolish. His own father told him he would never make anything of himself, and that he was stupid for leaving. My dad would spend the rest of his life proving him wrong.

Moving to Cincinnati, my mom and dad took a huge risk. The only job they had lined up was a $1 an hour job at the bureau of motor vehicles for my mom, and everything else was just a gamble. Dad luckily found a job and soon had a second job, and then a third. He knew that if he was going to make it, he had to take a risk; and he did.

STATE-OF-THE-ART WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Not many companies can say they were founded out of a customer request: but that is our story. Osborne Trucking™ had worked hard to cultivate a reputation of service and dependability amongst their clients, and in 1979, one of those valuable clients approached Orville Osborne to start a warehouse. They were not happy with the other companies in town, and knew the kind of service that Osborne™ had provided them, and they knew that the same spirit of service would translate into the distribution world as well.

We strive to be a third party logistics provider that goes beyond the four walls of the traditional warehouse and works as an extension of our clients. We have a warehouse management system that allows us to keep track of all kinds of product data, including SKU, lot, pallet ID and serial numbers. Offering online web access for our clients, you can have 24/7 visibility over your inventory: here you can run customized reports, export data and even place orders.

Our goal is to be a team player in your organization that allows you to focus more on your manufacturing, sales and marketing than worrying about where your goods are stored or how they are shipping to your clients.
