Skagit Transportation

About Skagit Transportation
In the mid 1940’s brothers Bud and Dode Egbers were just out of high school, farming cattle on their local Skagit Valley farm. By 1947, the Egbers found themselves hauling grain and hay on their 4 trailers at the urging of local farmers; this was the beginning of Skagit Valley Trucking.

Throughout the 1950’s the Egbers brothers began hauling the bulk foods that would later become their staple accounts throughout their 60 year company history. From hauling green peas locally on flatbed trucks, to transporting dehydrated grass to plants in Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia, Skagit Valley Trucking earned a name for themselves in the seasonal transportation industry and a reputation for excellence. They continued to grow; hauling strawberries in Whatcom County and corn in eastern Washington. No longer small enough to operate out of their farm, Skagit Valley Trucking began building their Mount Vernon terminal with the help of the local community.
