Service is a word which is often misused or over spoken, but here at Lunderby's we don’t feel the need to say it over and over.
Since 2001, Steve Lunderby, with Lunderby Livestock, has created a culture of talk is cheap, and in 2010, with a feedlot full of cattle and a couple of trucks, he decided to test that motto by putting his hat in the ring with some of the self proclaimed best service providers in the crude oil hauling industry.
If there is one for sure thing about the Bakken, since the start of the boom, it has successfully separated the men from the boys. Lunderby Trucking, in it’s humble beginning, started out taking the table scraps from the bigger oil haulers, but with Steve Lunderby’s leadership and the culture that has been created, which is: “if you say your going to do it do it, a handshake still means something and don’t worry we’ll find a way to get it done” philosophy, Steve has taken Lunderby Trucking from a three truck outfit to a fifty truck fleet. We are now the premiere go to crude haulers in the region and it has been rewarding to know the old fashion way still works.
In 2011, we learned we couldn’t rely on anyone else to keep our fleet moving so we started Lunderby Repair. Lunderby Trucking is one of a handful of 24hr crude hauling companies still going strong and Lunderby Repair might be the only 24hr full service diesel repair shops operating in Eastern Montana.
And in 2013, with many of the trucking companies only focused on the Bakken, Steve saw an opportunity to grow another fleet to help fill the void in the Ag Community by servicing the local elevators and farmers hauling dry fertilizer, liquid fertilizer, corn, and grain. S&S Transport now has 15 trucks over the road, running between Saskatchewan and Idaho, making good on it’s word along with Lunderby Livestock, Lunderby Trucking, Lunderby Repair and Steve, himself, who can still be found, at any given point, chasing cattle, planting corn, driving truck and/or mentoring his management team and supervisors whom have bought into his relentless style and whom he could not have built the Lunderby Family of Companies without.
