Nussbaum Transportation

TRUST AND INTEGRITY ARE AT THE CENTER OF OUR SUCCESS.
Since 1945, trust and integrity have guided our operations. We’ve learned that the best way to deliver on our ideals is to hire the right staff, partner with the best customers and act with integrity.

OUR HISTORY
A Strong, Purpose-Driven Foundation
1945
Nussbaum Trucking is founded by Alden Nussbaum in Fairbury, IL. He had a single truck and a simple vision: “If you take care of your people, the rest will take care of itself.” Little did he know, that vision and his faith-driven focus would take Nussbaum a long way.
1950
The very first terminal is built in order to handle multiple trucks in the Nussbaum fleet.
1965
Moved operations to Normal, IL
1968
Started a truckload division in several states. Nussbaum runs both businesses side by side out of their Operations Center.
2000
Brent Nussbaum is now at the head of the company. He leads Nussbaum with the same purpose-driven focus his father Alden instilled from the start.
2018
Nussbaum Transportation becomes employee-owned through a benefit plan called an ESOP (employee stock ownership plan). The Nussbaum family transitioned 35% of the company ownership to employees. Becoming employee-owned fits the company’s values of taking care of employees, rewarding commitment, and protecting Nussbaum’s heritage and culture.
Today
Now an employee-owned company, we have re-solidified our mission and vision to be purpose driven in everything we do to positively impact the lives of everyone we interact with. We embrace the opportunity to serve our customers and employee-owners with a level of care and integrity that is unique to Nussbaum.
