History of RO Harrell

While today R. O. Harrell’s trucking business boasts a large fleet of tank vehicles serving customers throughout the US, the company got its roots in 1885 making buggies in southern VA. Shortly after the turn of the century when automobiles began entering American life, a member of the Harrell family traveled north to learn about internal combustion engines. The company manufactured a truck and sold it to their largest customer, the Singer Sewing Machine Company. That first truck more than 100 years ago has grown to 85 tractors and over 200 tank trailers.

R. O. Harrell Sr. started and operated several trucking related businesses during the early part of the 1900’s and in 1942 began hauling gasoline and fuel oil. During the oil embargo of the late 70’s, the firm transformed itself once again and expanded into tank trucking services for liquid and dry bulk commodities. Under the leadership of Rick Harrell, the firm has expanded significantly to its current operations serving hundreds of customers nationally.

The employees that make up R. O. Harrell Company are very involved in the community that surrounds them. In addition to working to improve local schools and health care facilities, they are also involved in many civic clubs and sports activities in southern VA. It was the first Company of the Year recognized by the Chamber of Commerce. The Company is also credited as being very instrumental in having the local community college begin a truck driving school, which has now graduated more than 1,500 drivers – some of whom are employed as tank truck drivers at the Company.
