More Than 75 Years in the Trucking Industry
Creviston Trucking has been part of the Northwest Indiana transportation industry for generations. According to the company’s history, Creviston has transported U.S. Mail under contract with the United States Postal Service since 1948, moving mail between processing facilities and post offices throughout Northwest Indiana and Northeast Illinois.
Over the years, the company developed an extensive regional transportation operation. Creviston reports that its routes once included more than 5,000 scheduled stops each week, and the company was recognized with the United States Postal Service Eagle Spirit Award for Excellence.
Now, as the company closes its operation, decades of fleet and transportation assets will be offered to other trucking companies, owner-operators, contractors, fleet managers and equipment buyers through Orbitbid.com.
