In 1973, John O’Neal and R.W. Anderson purchased an underground storage facility in Gibsland, LA from Hercules Petroleum Corporation. This acquisition included a fleet of L.P. Gas trailers and allowed the O’Neal family to expand their L.P. Gas wholesale marketing operations. In addition, Hercules Transport, Inc. was organized to identify the activities of the trucking company with a terminal in Choudrant, LA. In the early 1980’s, Tom O’Neal, son of founder John O’Neal, opened a Marketing office in Houston, TX. The deregulation of the 1980’s and 1990’s provided many opportunities for Hercules Transport, Inc. to expand its transportation services. In 1987, Hercules Transport opened its first South Louisiana truck terminal in Carville, LA. The terminal in Rayne, LA opened in the Fall of 1996, and another in Dayton, TX in Summer 1998.

Great question and something our team of experts can help you determine. LTL is typically ideal for
freight shipments larger than parcel or small package, but short of the space required of a
full truckload shipments. However, other factors like distance and value may play into the decision.
FTL stands for Full Truckload. A shipment that is over 10,000lb or takes up an entire truck by
itself is considered Full Truckload. One of the main characteristic of an FTL Services is that it
will take your shipment on a long haul, making one trip from point A to Point B without transferring
the cargo.
LTL stands for Less Than Truckload. If you have 200 pounds of freight to transport, you’ve got an LTL
shipment. It takes just a section of the truck and the cargo is safely consolidated with other shipments
that may be picked up and distributed in the same area.
