About Us

In September of 1967, Patrick Ennis started our company with two trucks, hauling hogs for George A. Hormel Company. We continue to haul for them today with our refrigerated trailers. We also provide services for JBS Swift, Hillshire/Tyson, Centrum Valley Farms, Monsanto, Fareway, Prestage Foods, and several other major brand shippers.

Pat’s vision, passion for trucking, and his dedication to service built this company. These values, along with our family values, have taken this company to where it is today.

A second generation of the Ennis family has joined in the operations of the company with Michael Ennis and Melinda Anderson, two of Pat’s children, now managing the company. A third generation can also be seen in the wings of our company.
