Company History (cont'd)
Seeing the growth potential of similar products
being shipped through the Ports of Los Angeles and
Long Beach, Budway expanded its focus to handling
break-bulk shipments from the harbor in 2001. With
its commitment to having a superior fleet, Budway
meets the ports’ clean air requirements and is
positioned to be a premier carrier for both
break-bulk and containerized products carried on
overseas vessels.
In 2002, Budway worked with engineers at Kenworth
Truck Company and Wilson Trailer Company to design a
truck that allows for significantly higher payloads.
The Budway SuperLite tractor, when combined with the
specially designed Wilson trailer, allows Budway to
handle payloads of up to 60,000 pounds without
requiring any special permits. This type of
relentless pursuit of innovation is what has allowed
Budway to add low-cost capacity for its clients, one
of the company’s two key strategies.
In a very short time, Budway quickly grew from a
small, LTL trucking company to the nation’s premier
provider of inventory management and distribution
services for modal-to-modal shipments of products
moving into Southern California via rail, truck, or
ocean vessel. As the leader in rail-transloading and
distribution services in Southern California,
Budway Delivers simplicity and
confidence in product inventory management and delivery
services for companies using multiple modes of
transportation.
