Why Opies?

Why Opies?

Danny Opie formed Opies Transport, just a few days after the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. His opening store was next to the Cree-Mee on 8th Street in Eldon, MO. Within three years, they were making deliveries to big companies like Kraft Foods and Central Dairy, with drivers covering 24 states. In April 1980, Mr. Opie moved the company’s terminal to the western suburbs of Eldon, Missouri, operating 15 trucks and 18 trailers.

I believe my daddy worked for Opie's for 25 or so years. He never complained about them. They do look out for their drivers. I would recommend them to anyone with a family cause they truly care about you and your family. He's been retired for a few years now but still wears his Opie's hat! Yes, my daddy is Dale.

Opies is a great family oriented company if you ever need to get home to your family don't hesitate to call dispatch they will help get you home fast because they know family is all of our number one priority. Opies will make you feel like your family as well they keep all of there equipment in top shape so if any problem does come up for any reason let them know and it'll be fixed immediately. Also you'll get to know everyone that works their pretty well if you wanna put a fridge in your truck let the mechanic's know they will help with that as well as they'll install your CB , dish or anything else you want or need. Plus they have much more so give them a call I've been here for 4 years this coming July and they are the best company I've worked for.

Best career move I've made yet. Very happy with Opies Transport, Inc. So pay no attention to the grumpy complainers, because there are always a couple in every bunch, regardless of the work place. Opies Transport is everything they claim to be, and then some. Family oriented to the tee; and, will make you feel like family as well. Opies gets a "10" from me. No complaints! 👍

This is the worst company my husband has ever worked for. He got hurt on the job mid April and has yet to receive a dime, they have even refused to pay the vacation pay he earned. They are not paying the worker's comp he is due and they quit making the insurance premium since he can't work so we have no insurance, and I'm a diabetic, he is still under doctor's care from having the back surgery that was an emergency to keep him from being paralyzed for life and no insurance, no workers comp., and no money. The company refused to file the workers comp case, they refuse to talk to him or move forward in anyway. We are about to lose everything we have worked so hard for just because he worked for a bunch of dishonest, immoral, crooks who pretend to care about their employees.Carla Hankla

Most honest owner and company I’ve ever worked for. They will bend over backwards to work with your goals. Last company I will work for period. If it doesn’t work out for you here it’s honestly probably not going to work out for you anywhere.

Working for a mega carrier? Feeling like a number? Wanting more miles and the best equipment in the industry? Or perhaps more home time? If you answered yes to any of those quit waiting and apply! This is the best company I’ve worked for. It has been life changing for me personally. Dispatch is easy going and always available. They know me by my first name and not my driver number. They accommodate your needs no matter the circumstances. If you’re across the country and have a family emergency, they will get you home without question. Top of the line trucks/equipment as well as top of the line people. Any of our drivers that are ever negative still work here for a reason. This is one of the few places that actually cares about you and DOES NOT lie to you. I highly recommend!

The culture at the company is great, fleet managers treat really well and will address you by name. They maintain the equipment really well they are jumping in your truck as soon as you hit the yard to pull into maintenance bays wash and top off fuel/def. The only downside the pay can be a little higher for the size of the fleet and no vision or dental.
