Experienced Wood Chip Hauling in Oregon

Reed’s Fuel & Trucking is a local trucking company that currently services the needs of customers in the wood products industry in Oregon. We operate 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. We have 4 axle trucks with 4-axle 53’ chip trailers that haul wood by-products from sawmills to several manufacturing facilities. These facilities produce products such as; tissue paper, toilet paper, liner board for cardboard boxes, electricity, particle board, wood pellets, charcoal briquettes, misc. soil mixtures for landscaping, etc.

Our fleet consists of both 53’ slick bottom 4 axle trailers and 48’ live floor trailers, which unload themselves. We take the time to meet with our customers to better understand what their needs are. 

It is because of the hard work and dedication from our co-workers that help us exceed our customers’ expectations.

Our co-worker's safety is ALWAYS our main concern. Two years ago we started converting our trailer tarps to an automatic tarping system. Today we operate approximately 28 trailers with auto tarping systems and have noticed a significant decrease in shoulder injuries to our drivers.

Our History
  • 1940 - 1946

    William Reed's firewood delivery and household moving business began in 1940 with the help of his son, Alvin and their wives Floy and Dorothy. Reed's Fuel Company had two trucks, and after a year gave up the household moving business to concentrate on firewood hauling, now known as Reed's Fuel. In 1942 another truck was added and in 1946 one of five trucks was converted to household fuel oil deliveries.

  • 1951 - 1959

    As people began heating their homes with sawdust, equipment was updated to meet customer's needs. In 1951 the fuel oil portion of the business was sold, in 1952 two flatbed trucks were purchased to haul larger loads of lumber products and in 1959 the first mobile radios were installed in the trucks.

  • 1970

    By 1970, Reed's Fuel and Trucking were hauling sawdust, hogged fuel, chips, presto logs, lumber, veneer and plywood with a combined fleet of 46 power units and 31 trailers.

  • 1980 - 1984

    Alvin Reed semi retired in 1980 and Gary Reed became President.  In 1982 Reed's Fuel Company obtained extensions to their Common Carrier Authority to carry pulp, paper, lumber, and other related wood products between points in seven states. Diversification was becoming vitally important in the trucking industry, so in 1984, Reed's Fuel Company purchased a General Commodities Authority and began to do business as Reed's Fuel and Trucking. This name change helped identify that we were primarily a trucking business.

  • 1987 - 1988

    1987 and 1988 brought more changes when Jason Reed and Dan Leavitt joined the company. Jason represents the 4th generation of the business and is the Company President, with Dan being the Vice President. Over the years of transition, we have continued to plan the succession of our management team. 

  • Present

    In 2009, Gary Reed (3rd generation) retired from the company. In 2018, Dan Leavitt retired from the company. Troy Corwin after 25 years of service, became Vice President and co-owner of Reed’s Fuel Trucking in 2019.


    Reed's Fuel and Trucking believes our employees are our most valuable assets and are the key to the success and growth over the past 79 years. Having quality, motivated employees enables us to offer honest, courteous and dependable service, now and into the future.
