A family company with company drivers
Ray Graves started hauling out of Anthony in 1968, and in 1976 bought Farmers Oil, the town’s Standard Oil dealer. His son Larry bought the company from him in 2000, when it ran about 30 trucks. It runs more than 100 now, from the same address on West Main.
Our drivers work for us, not as owner-operators. That’s what lets us send a truck outside our usual area when a customer needs one. We’ll also plan with you for the busy months and the slow ones, and help work out routes that make sense for your suppliers and customers.
Where we run
Our tankers run mainly in the Midwest. The vans, reefers and Conestoga flatbeds can cover all 48 states and Canada.
