In the 1930’s Calvin “CD” Zimmerman knew nothing more than hard work and the pride of doing work well. Starting with a humble beginning hauling coal at the age of 15, “CD” as he is still remembered by, proved that with hard work and dedication, any goal is attainable. In the years that followed "CD" bought a tractor and trailer to haul lumber and other items.
At his peak, CD Zimmerman Trucking, “CD” operated a 60 plus trucking operation. Brick and steel providing the majority of material hauled in the Ohio Valley and northeast.
In the 1970's, “CD’s” son Ron, also operated his own trucking business. Though father and son hauled similar product, there was never a conflict between the two, other than just a typical family rivalry of “who did it best”. Ron incorporated in 1984 and started a trucking company that is now known as Zimmerman Truck Lines Inc.
With CD's death, CD Zimmerman Trucking and Zimmerman Truck Lines merged and formed one company in 1994. On the East Coast, Ron built a brand new facility where we are now located today. With his daughter, Robin involved in operations and driver relations and his son Mark, Vice President of Operations, it is truly a family operation.
Today we are a viable trucking company with over 200 trucks that run all 48 states but still focusing on what has made us successful. We are a strong knit community of employees and customers.
We have many employees both driving and in our office that have been with Zimmerman’s from 10 to 25 years. We offer the most up to date equipment to our drivers, a beautiful work environment to our office staff and excellent service to our customers.
We still believe in the work ethics instilled by CD Zimmerman over 70 years ago and will continue honoring it for years to come.
