Autumn Transport

Welcome to Autumn Chris, Andrew, James, and Kenny! We had a busy week in the office getting these guys leased on. Two Tankers and two Pneumatics joined us all this week. They are from Wisconsin, Chicago, Myrtle Beach, and New York. They range in experience from 9 years to 30 years OTR. Three out of four guys were referrals from current owner ops on the fleet. It was fun getting to know all of you this week and we are excited to see you all succeed.

Here’s to our hardworking owner-operators—no luck needed, just skill and dedication. Stay safe and enjoy the day! 🚛💨

Bev, you are the heart of Autumn! None of us would be here without you and Lowell taking that leap back in 1980 and founding Autumn Transport. Your energy lights up the office the moment you walk through the doors, always bringing a smile, a great story, and endless support for everyone around you. We’re so grateful for your leadership, kindness, and the amazing workplace you’ve built. Enjoy your special day, Bev—happy birthday!

Congrats Adrian on 5 incredible years with Autumn! You have made a lasting impact on customers and your team here in Minnesota. We appreciate all of the challenges you've tackled seamlessly as an Owner Operator. Thank you for being a valued part of our family—here’s to many more successful years ahead.

This love runs on diesel and dreams, and we’re grateful for the incredible owner operators who keep us moving every day. Wishing you all a Valentine’s Day filled with love, laughter, and safe travels! 🚛💕

Here at Autumn Transport the military holds a special place in our hearts. Our founder, Lowell Rieks, was a proud Marine. He built this company on the values and principles that continue to guide us today. Supporting our service members isn’t just something we do; it’s part of who we are. One of our own, Adam Laursen, who is on our Pneumatic fleet dispatch team here in the office and currently in the Air Force Reserves, nominated Autumn Transport and Julie Andrich, our CEO and daughter of our founders for this prestigious award from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Adam presented a letter along with the award, sharing this quote: "Of all the employers I have worked for while serving in the military, I have been genuinely and pleasantly surprised by the exceptional support I have received at Autumn Transport." We are honored to be recognized for fostering a workplace that values our military personnel and Owner Operators. #PatriotProud
