About Us

Background

For more than 46 years, the Dick Lavy Trucking business has grown from one 10-year-old Mack Truck with a million miles to our present size.

We pride ourselves on the friendly atmosphere amongst all employees.

A Family of Drivers - 3 Generations at Dick Lavy Trucking

“When I started, Dick Lavy Trucking was just a small company with a very personal atmosphere that I liked right away,” says Warren. “Now all these years later, it’s grown a lot and still has that personal atmosphere. They just don’t do things like everybody else. Lavy is very involved with drivers, very supportive.”

Safety and excellence are two of our commitments to the trucking industry and why we are proud to be recognized with a Motor Carrier Safety Award by our partners at Great West Casualty Company.  This award signifies the dedication and motivation of our workforce to achieve the highest standards of safety.
