A family-owned trucking company since 1979
At K&J Trucking, we are family. And just like you, we are loyal and devoted to our family
OUR CORE VALUES:
We Go the Extra Mile
We Do the Right Thing
We Own it
We Are Geared for the Community
Dave Koch started K&J Trucking in 1979 with the dream of becoming one of the industry’s top refrigerated carriers. Working together with his family, this dream became a reality.
Proud to be a Christian Trucking Company
As a company, K&J does not believe in cutting corners
Taking the quick and easy route almost never pays off. That is why we run the finest equipment, utilize the latest technology, and take care of our team. And customer service is still our number one priority.
A Better Way of Doing Things
Dave Koch started K&J because he believed there was a better way of doing things, and we hang on to this principle today. When asked why we do something, we strive to never have the answer be "because that is the way we have always done it."
We are always working to better our company, our team members, and the trucking industry in general. When we hear problems and suggestions from our drivers and customers, we dig deeper into the issues to find a better solution. If that means actively advocating for trucker rights and working with local and national legislators, then we will be there.
At the end of the day, we are driven by what is best for our drivers and the industry, not our pocketbook.
K&J Trucking is a 100-truck premier temperature-controlled and dry van carrier out of Sioux Falls, SD with a satellite terminal in Guymon, OK
We started in 1979 on a hope and a prayer and have grown to be a well-respected fleet known for our integrity and fairness to both customers and drivers. We’ve gotten to where we are because we don’t ride the market for quick wins; our goal is to build long-term, stable customer relationships.
