History of Acme Truck Line, Inc.

ACME TRUCK LINE was founded in 1960 as a Louisiana intrastate oilfield hauler. At that time the company consisted of six trucks, two small sheds in Harvey, Louisiana, and three office employees. From these humble beginnings, ACME has grown into a recognized industry leader with a fleet of over 1,900 trucks, more than 40 markets and nationwide operating authorities.

ACME has always exclusively used owner/operators in order to provide strong motivation for excellent customer service. A company that utilizes all leased equipment shares opportunity and responsibility with its employees, and allows for faster growth and more flexibility in matching truck inventory to market needs.

ACME opened its second office in 1974 and now operates over 90 nationwide. This creates backhauls and assistance for ACME drivers nationwide, an aggressive national sales effort, and better customer service.

Today, ACME is a modern, computerized, efficient operation headquartered in Harvey, Louisiana, in the heart of the New Orleans industrial district. Over 45 years of continuous expansion has prepared ACME to meet the challenges of the future and respond to an ever-changing marketplace. While we are proud of our past accomplishments, we haven't forgotten the cornerstone of our success: serve our customer…serve our employees…keep the freight moving, safely and on time.
