Transporting Goods for Half a Century

Have you ever stopped to think about how goods are transported from one point to the next? The trucking industry is an essential piece of the American economy. Businesses depend on the industry, since it handles far more cargo than trains, ships or planes.
Since 1962, Morrell Companies of Elk River has been handling the transportation needs of a variety of industries. The family-owned business is a full service carrier that can handle heavy equipment as well as delicate medical supplies.
The company has three busy divisions and is regularly seeking employees for a range of positions, such as company drivers, independent truck operators, customer service, mechanics and dispatch.
