Mc Lane Transport

HISTORY
Owner J.P. McLane, like his dad and granddad, was born and raised in the cattle business. Once he started buying trucks to haul feeder cattle, his fleet of ten cattle trucks grew over the years to 24.

In July 1974, McLane Livestock Transport, Inc. opened their doors in the city of Poplar Bluff, MO. That same year, due to the decline in the cattle business, J.P. began buying refrigerated trailers and hauling produce from the west coast. Now, nearly forty years later, they transport furniture, heating and air conditioning units, dairy products and expansion joints for bridges and roadways to the west coast. For the return trips, they then haul a variety of produce, primarily from California, Washington and Oregon.McLane employs 65, has 46 trucks, 100 trailers and four owner-operator trucks.

As the business has grown, so has the family, and McLane likes to think of all of their employees as family. With stringent safety guidelines and attention to taking care of their own, McLane continues to build on a reputation of quality trucking.

Why Drive?
