History
Before the company's founding, refined fuels were transported by railcar. A young Harold Groendyke saw an opportunity and took it creating a tank truck industry. In 1935, H.C. Groendyke moved the company headquarters to Enid, Ok (where it remains today) to be closer to Eason oil and Champlin refineries.
The company was incorporated in 1949. Groendyke Transport continued to expand and in 1965 the company became international. It made its first delivery into Mexico. The company continued to expand throughout the 1970s and 1980s and made its first trip to Canada in 1988. The company is also known as a "military friendly" employer for veterans.[2]
In 2018, Groendyke Transport acquired all of the tank truck assets from McKenzie Tank Lines.[3]
The current CEO of Groendyke Transport is Greg Hodgen[4] and senior vice president of operations is David Snapp.[5] In January 2024, Joe Morrissey was announced as president of Groendyke.[6]
