About Rockford Transport Inc

Rockford Transport Inc was established in 1993 by Craig and Glenda Sockwell. The company started with just one truck, one customer, and a guiding motto, “our expectation is customer satisfaction.” Over the first 10 years, Rockford Transport Inc grew through word of mouth and customer testimony. During that time, the Sockwells invested their profits back into the company to purchase state-of-the-art equipment. During the 2000s, Rockford Transport Inc grew rapidly.

In February 2003, Rockford Transport Inc started the demolition division. This service is extended to builders and contractors who value time-management. Our demolition crews can remove and haul away interior structural walls, exterior rubbish and yard waste. The following year, Rockford Transport Inc purchased several dump trucks, dump trailers, and dumpsters to continue to further serve our customers. 

Today, Rockford Transport Inc still values each and every customer as much as our first. The most valued customer is a returning customer. We strive every day to form permanent relationships with local developers and construction companies in the Northern Illinois region.

In 2004, Rockford Transport Inc was named “Small Business of The Year” by the Northern Illinois Minority Company Association. The company is currently certified as a Minority Business Enterprise by the city of Rockford. Rockford Transport Inc was also recognized as “People You Can Count On” by Rockford Registered Star.
