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.
