History

Founded in 1977, Blue Water Trucking started with delivering swimming pool water to Romeo-Washington area homes.

In 1990, Blue Water Trucking began hauling general commodity for equipment manufacturers and Tier I and II suppliers like Ford and Chrysler. By this time, Blue Water Trucking was hauling freight to the greater part of the Midwest.[2] In September 2012, Blue Water Trucking announced new and improved benefits for its 200 employees including accounting, dispatch, drivers, and management. These benefits include more paid holidays and better health insurance.
