Our vertically integrated transportation system allows us to provide excellent service to an extensive customer base.

OUR COMPANY HISTORY
Bruce Oakley combined the rare gift of knowing what people needed with the even rarer ability to build and manage an organization capable of consistently delivering on its promises.

Of all the life lessons Oakley shared with his son Dennis over the years, two key messages stood out. As Dennis once recalled in Arkansas Business magazine: “Always do what you say you’re going to do,” and “Never bet the farm.” It’s simple, yet timeless advice, and it serves as a foundation for the core principles to which our company remains faithful, even today.
