In the days of making deliveries for a local creamery, it’s doubtful that brothers Arlan and Dennis Van Wyk ever dreamed their modest trucking operation would one day employ more than 200 people in three locations across the country.

Now using technological advances such as satellite tracking and pre-pass sytems, Van Wyk is on the cutting edge of a path—and business—it helped pave. This company history captures the stories, joys, sadness and success of the business’s first 50 years.
