About Us

Road Scholar Transport was established in 1988 by Jim Barrett and his wife Debra. Jim leased a used tractor trailer and served as the sole driver for the company while Debra acted as dispatcher. Jim had experience in the trucking industry since he first gained this interest at the age of 16 when he began washing trucks after school. He worked his way through college and obtained a position in sales at the same company for which he worked for since the age of 16. When he left this company to start his own in 1988 he was vice president of sales. Today, 16 years after Road Scholar hauled its first piece freight, Jim and Debra employ approximately 95 drivers out of 4 different terminals, own 80 tractors, 350 trailers and additionally employ 10 owner operators. Revenue in 1988 only amounted to a few thousand dollars. In 2005, revenues were $16,000,000.

"Road Scholar's business success in a time of industry downsizing can be attributed to the personal attention our customers receive, our constantly updated equipment, our uniformed and polite drivers and finally, last but certainly not least, the care each Road Scholar employee exhibits to insure that we exceed our customers expectations" - Jim Barrett President (jim.barrett@roadscholar.com)
