Ergon Trucking Inc.

Ergon Trucking Inc. is a trucking company in Vicksburg, MS, providing specialized liquid bulk transportation services across the lower 48 states and Canada. Formed in 1973, the company hauls crude oil, asphalt, process oils, lubes, chemicals, caustics, and other liquid products with rigorous handling, temperature, and safety requirements. Ergon trucks deliver crude to refineries from fields in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New York, Ohio, Louisiana, and Texas, while asphalt and sensitive process oil products move across the lower 48 and Canada with careful attention to product integrity throughout transport. The fleet logs more than 28 million miles each year, completing over 80,000 loads of lube oils, chemicals, and crude.

The operation runs more than 360 trucks along with 550 tank trailers, supported by 230 independent contractors and 130 company drivers. For crude oil hauling in the Appalachian Basin, a diverse fleet of 100 to 130 bbl bobtail trucks, 160 bbl tri-axles, and 200 bbl tank trailers moves crude directly from the field to the pipeline or terminal. Bulk chemical transportation is handled with a sizable fleet of stainless steel general chemical tank trailers, while refined lube oil and base oil shipments use newer lightweight aluminum trailers built for maximum product capacity, since many of the lubes hauled are ultrasensitive to moisture and contamination. Ergon Trucking serves external customers as well as other Ergon companies, and communicates one on one with customers from initial order through product delivery.

The Vicksburg terminal sits on Haining Road, less than half a mile from the Big River Shipbuilders pier and the Coast Guard Pier along the Mississippi. The USS Cairo Museum and the Navy Memorial are about a mile and a half to the north, and North Washington Street runs nearby.

The company holds a perfect 5.00 rating. With more than five decades of continuous operation, Ergon Trucking combines a large fleet with the personalized service and safety standards that customers moving sensitive petroleum and chemical products require in Vicksburg.
