T & T Trucking was founded in 1956 in the town of Lodi, California (population 35,000) located 30 miles south of Sacramento, and 90 miles east of San Francisco in the fertile San Joaquin Valley by two humble men, Rudy Tarditi and Clarence Taylor.  They started with two flatbed trucks hauling hay.  Rudy handled the administration and Clarence oversaw operations - and both drove the trucks!   Times were tough until 1960 when T & T Trucking started hauling sand - not from the beach, but from foothill mines full of silica sand used for making glass.   Business got a little better and they decided to incorporate in March 1965.   Clarence Taylor well into his 80's has since retired, and founder Rudy Tarditi is watching, proudly from heaven above, his son Terry continue his legacy operating one of the most respected and service oriented bulk trucking companies on the West Coast.    

We will be celebrating our 52nd ANNIVERSARY in March of 2008 hauling bulk raw commodities for the glass and glass container industry (silica sand, limestone and soda ash), cullet (for glass remanufacturing), roofing granules, and agricultural fertilizers (both dry and liquid) among many other commodities. Working with the construction industry we innovated the capability of "blowing" sand with our pneumatic trailers for road culverts drastically reducing man-hour costs. 

With our blue and white fleet of over 150 trucks and 200 trailers, including gravity doubles, pneumatic doubles, semi's, and transfers, T & T Trucking serves customers in the seven (7) western states with revenues exceeding 32 million dollars annually.  We also have a  J&L Semi-Vacuum trailer for such applications as cleaning out contaminated storage sites, accident spills, transfer from one trailer to another, or vacuum from the site to deliver or dispose of - both wet and dry - ON CALL 24-HOURS DAILY.

Our corporate office and main terminal is located in Lodi, California with over 10-acres of facilities and truck parking.  Walnut and cherry orchards, as well as vineyards, as far as the eye can see, surround us.  Our Bakersfield, California terminal, which is over 4-acres, was purchased in 1994 to accommodate our customers  in the southwestern part of the United States. Our truck and trailer maintenance and fueling facilities at both locations are exceptional and modern, with computer driven maintenance programs which enhance our "on-time, no-excuse" deliveries, well known through out the bulk transportation industry.

Every one of our nearly 200 employees and independent contractors remain firmly committed to the concept of CUSTOMER SERVICE!   Making every effort to not only earn your business, but to fully and completely satisfy your bulk transportation needs today as well into the future, is not only our hallmark, but our PROMISE! 

RECOGNITION:  DID YOU KNOW...We play a vital role in your everyday life!  The next time you drink a cold bottle of beer, Snapple soda, frappacino or Starbucks iced coffee, have a glass of wine, look outside your car window, open your shower door, or watch your children play outside from inside your house, note that we hauled the raw commodities necessary to make glass happen.   DID YOU KNOW...When given a choice of beer or soda served in glass bottles or aluminum cans over 95% of consumers chose glass!  When have you EVER seen a premium beer commercial using aluminum cans or plastic bottles!  DID YOU KNOW...That glass, discovered centuries ago, having the purest of earth's minerals, imparts no taste or alters any liquid from which it is served, from clinical laboratory test tubes to Budweiser beer.  It can even be made in your garage with three simple ingredients, (silica sand, soda ash and limestone), and will last a lifetime. Despite all of man's technological advances in science, NOTHING has been discovered to replace it!

TRIVIA:  DID YOU KNOW...That A&W Rootbeer was founded here in Lodi in 1919 by Roy Allen who got a recipe for rootbeer (the first ever) from a local pharmacist and sold it for a nickel a glass.  He later recruited a partner, Frank Wright, and A&W Rootbeer thus became a worldwide trademark.   Today, owned by YUM BRANDS, which include KFC and Taco Bell there are over 700 outlets in 15 countries and 545 distribution points in the United States.  That first A&W rootbeer stand is still located in downtown Lodi.

TRIVIA:  DID YOU KNOW...That Lodi is the largest wine grape growing region in the United States, larger than the famous Napa and Sonoma counties combined, producing over 627,000 tons of grapes and 39 million bottles of wine annually, making it the "Wine grape capital of the world".

TRIVIA:  DID YOU KNOW...San Joaquin valley grows 70% of the world's fresh asparagus, and 80% of the world's navel oranges.

TRIVIA:  DID YOU KNOW...The 70's music group Creedence Clearwater Revival's famous song, "Stuck in Lodi again" lyrics were written when their road bus broke down along the highway in Lodi on their way to a concert in Reno, Nevada and they had to spend the night in a local motel. They never came back!  The background music you are listening to on some of these pages is "Stuck in Lodi again".  The other tune you may hear is the theme to "Home Alone".

 

We sincerely encourage and welcome your visit with us at our headquarters in Lodi to meet our friendly staff and see the resources we have to offer.
