Kuperus Trucking began with one truck and a dream. Myles Kuperus bought his first truck for $800 in 1972 and used it to haul sawdust. After buying his first semi in 1973, he hauled sand four times a day from Franklin NJ to Secaucus NJ. Today the company has grown to 36 tractors and 126 trailers and is family owned and operated. Since Myles started the company as a driver and continued to drive a few times a year even while dispatching and managing the office, he truly understands the challenges that drivers face. Every business decision that is made at Kuperus centers around driver happiness, health, and retention including ways to increase driver home time. Kuperus drivers are treated with dignity and respect and are not truck numbers but have become members of our family. Some have been with Kuperus for more than 20 years, and 15% of drivers have been with Kuperus for 10 or more years. There is a low turnover rate and a high employee satisfaction rating due to Kuperus’ “employee focused†business model. Each member of the management team shares Myles’ vision of providing high quality customer service and award-winning environmental protection efforts through fuel economy. Since 2003, Myles has been testing and implementing various devices to maximize fuel economy raising the fleet average from 5 miles per gallon to an industry high of 9 miles per gallon. This success is a direct result of a dedication to investing in technology that enhances fuel economy, as well as managing fuel economy best practices supported by SmartWay. In addition, our award-winning service can be attributed to an atmosphere of caring for our employees and the sharing of ideas that enhances our overall service product.Kuperus Trucking Address
