History

Overview of Company History

Earl R Martin Inc. began in April 1965 when Earl and Ruth Martin purchased their first truck and brought it to Pennsylvania from the manufacturer’s plant in California. The next year they purchased a second truck and the company has experienced steady growth since that time.

Over the years, a truck repair shop and diesel and gasoline pumps were added. In late 1998, the company opened Martin’s Trailside Express, a small truck stop, to allow them to better meet the transportation needs of the local community, and the trucking industry.

The company continues to be family owned and operated and there are currently three generations of the Martin family involved in the business. They feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to work with so many fine people through the forty-plus years they’ve been in business and consider their outstanding employees to be their most valuable asset. The company currently has approximately ninety employees.

Today, Earl R. Martin, Inc. includes the following four divisions:
• Trucking (Dry Bulk, Distillates and Gasoline, Dry Van and Refrigerated)
• Bulk Resale of Distillates and Gasoline
• Truck Repair and Towing
• Martin’s Trailside Express (Truck Stop and Car Wash)
