Pioneering Paths, Connecting Commerce

Driving Innovation in Transportation Since 1986

Our History

Founded in 1986 in the Carolinas by a family with a single truck, WLA Trucking set out to redefine what it means to be a logistics provider. Our founders believed in not just moving goods, but in moving them with purpose, care, and efficiency. This approach fueled our rapid growth, enabling us to expand our operations to encompass key routes from the Southeast to the West Coast.

Over the years, we’ve maintained our commitment to excellence, adapting to the evolving needs of the markets while continuously enhancing our fleet and services. From the introduction of our first temperature-controlled trailers in the early ’90s to the integration of state-of-the-art safety systems today, our history is a timeline of innovation and forward-thinking solutions.
