MJF Trucking was established in 1984 with the purchase of a new Mack Tri-axle dump truck. Owner/ Operator Mike Freed began hauling crushed stone from local quarries to their customers in June of that year. In the years that followed, the company grew to include tractor trailer dumps, hauling agricultural products up and down the east coast. Flat bed trailers followed, expanding the operation to the Midwest region. By the early 1990’s, the fleet also included refrigerated trailers traveling coast to coast. All the while, Mike kept his foot in the construction business by helping his father with his excavating business.
In 2005, Mike returned the operation to its original roots in construction hauling by letting go of all the over-the-road fleet to focus on the local construction hauling field. Mike returned to his 1 truck roots for that first year but it only lasted a short time as business increased. At this point, MJF Trucking was also turned into more of a co-operative venture. Instead of hiring drivers, the decision was made to bring on like-minded quality owner/operators to increase the fleet and maintain the quality of service Mike wanted to uphold. That year Mike’s father, Henry, came on board first, as he had now sold his successful excavating business to move toward retirement. The following years saw the addition of three more permanently leased operators to the fleet; bringing the number of trucks to five. But business was still coming in, so relationships with other independent owner/operators needed to be secured to accept the volume of work available. With the help of these operators, the fleet can expand to ten, twelve or more trucks, when a job calls for it.
We have tried very hard to maintain a quality of service that will leave our customers trusting, that if MJF Trucking is called upon to do a job, no matter how big or small, it will be completed to their standards and satisfaction. We strive to promote an attitude in all those we work with that they, our customers, would rather work with us rather than anyone else.
Thank you for considering our company to service your hauling needs.
