McKinley Trucking, Inc.
The McKinley Trucking started as McKinley Trucking in the 1940s. Originally founded to haul petroleum products for a neighboring company, Crystal Refinery. McKinley Trucking has greatly diversified during its 50 years of tank truck transportation. Phil McKinley, President, is the second generation to maintain and expand this family business. He started out by working for his father in 1961 as a mechanic. He also worked as a dispatcher and driver, and learned every aspect of the business.
McKinley Trucking, Inc. started operations with only five trucks. In 1962, the company was Incorporated. Phil bought the company from his father in 1978.
McKinley Trucking has grown well beyond its original design as a petroleum tank truck transportation company. As well as gas and oil transportation, McKinley now transports chemicals such as Hydrochloric Acid, Sulfuric Acid, Polymers, Oleum, Aluminum Chloride and Caustic Acid.
In 1990, McKinley Trucking, Inc. purchased its largest competitor, A&C Carriers, adding 24 trucks to the fleet. In 1993, McKinley Trucking purchased the operating authority from Wagner Transport. In 1996, the assets of NK Parker Transport Company were bought, creating the start of MK Parker Transport Company in Dearborn. In 1997, McKinley expanded their operations to Northern Michigan by opening a terminal in Cheboygan, Michigan.
"McKinley built its business by delivering gasoline intrastate from a few large oil companies to gasoline stations in Michigan's lower peninsula. The carrier also delivers diesel fuel, jet fuel, lube oils, and some petrochemical products." Modern Bulk Transporter
