History |
| |
Dependable started as a trucking company in 1950 with a single bobtail truck when Harry Massman founded Dependable Trucking Company. The company has grown rapidly over the years, and the name "Dependable" has become synonymous with excellence in the logistics industry. Today, we are a comprehensive provider of transportation and logistic solutions for many industries in the United States as well as in the Pacific Rim. We remain true to our mission and are committed to continuously improving upon our own services, as well as those offered by other transportation providers. As we've held steadfast to that mission we've continued to grow and during the process of maintaining our 'dependable' reputation, we have come to provide increasingly specialized solutions, subsequently adding
five more divisions to the group,
DDC-Dependable Distribution
Centers, DLS-Dependable Logistics
Solutions, DGX-Dependable Global
Express, DHX-Dependable Highway Express, and DAX-Dependable AirCargo Express (Web site coming
soon!).
