Ralph Smith Co.

Ralph Smith Co. is a trucking company in Bountiful, UT, serving Utah and beyond with a broad range of hauling, excavation, and heavy transport services. The company handles projects of every size, from a single truck to a full fleet, and its work spans excavation and aggregate hauling, demolition cleanup, heavy equipment transport, water truck service, rental equipment, and licensed pilot car escort work. Its equipment lineup includes 17 to 38 ton dump trucks, heavy-haul capacity up to 160,000 pounds using RGN, flip-tail, tilt, and winch configurations, step-deck and flatbed trailers, side dumps, aggregate trucks with aluminum bellies carrying up to 41 tons per load, and 4,000-gallon water trucks. The team also provides project consulting and management to keep jobs on schedule and within budget.

The company was founded in 1952 when Ralph Bailey Smith bought his first truck and began transporting explosives and aggregates. After his death in 1979, his sons Doug, Dan, and David took over and grew the operation into a multi-generation family business. Doug Smith, working with his wife Linette, expanded the fleet by combining efficient production with accurate billing practices, and his mechanical knowledge and job site experience have shaped the company's approach to customer service.

The office sits on West 500 South, less than a tenth of a mile from 500 West and about a third of a mile from 500 South. Washington Park is roughly a quarter of a mile away.

Office hours run Monday through Friday from 8am to 6pm and weekends from 10am to 4pm, with phone (801) 295-8824 for direct contact. With more than 70 years of continuous operation under the same family name, Ralph Smith Co. remains one of the longest established trucking operations in the Bountiful area.
