Affton Trucking of Ferguson

Affton Trucking of Ferguson is a trucking company in Ferguson, MO. The company runs three main operations: bulk trucking, packaging and warehousing, and intermodal trucking. Its bulk division handles dry bulk materials with pneumatic tanks and railcar service, and its intermodal operation moves containers with a company-owned fleet. It serves bulk plastic customers and shippers needing container drayage, storage, and material conversion.

Affton was started by Floyd Wright with a single truck in 1969 and is still owned and operated by the Wright family. The bulk division has grown from two sleeper trucks, two pneumatic tanks, and 18 railcar spots to 25 sleeper trucks with blowers, 42 pneumatic tanks, and more than 225 railcar spots between terminals in St. Louis, MO and Kansas City, KS. The fleet uses late-model MACK trucks and late-model J & L or Heil pneumatic tanks, and the company can top load, pull from pneumatic railcars, or convert bagged material to bulk truck. Monthly railcar inventory comes from the TRAMS system. Drivers are company drivers, 100 percent ELD compliant, and the operation is EDI capable with electronic PODs.

The packaging and warehousing side includes more than 100,000 square feet of warehouse space, with packaging into Gaylord boxes and conversion between Super Sack, Gaylord box, and 55kg bags to bulk truck, plus inbound and outbound Gaylord box storage and inventory reports. Intermodal has been the heart of the business since 1969 and now runs over 55 late-model trucks, with tri-axles for heavy 20-foot moves and Haz Mat certified drivers.
