Papé Kenworth Partners with Nelson Brothers Trucking

Kenworth x Nelson Brothers Trucking

Here at Papé Kenworth, we are proud to provide exceptional support to every single one of our customers and partners. Our customers quickly become like family, and today, we’re thrilled to highlight one of our longtime partners, Nelson Brothers Trucking. Nelson Brothers Trucking in Springfield, OR, relies on Papé Kenworth to keep their fleet moving, and we couldn’t be more proud to partner with these longtime leaders in the Oregon Willamette Valley’s trucking industry.

Nelson Brothers Trucking

Founded in 1967 with just one dump truck, the transport company now operates a fleet of about 113 trucks, including flatbeds, lowboys, log trucks, and more. They’ve been a part of the fabric of Oregon’s Willamette Valley for over 40 years, and as they continue to grow, are now operated by Rick and Roger Nelson, continuing on with their deep dedication to providing exceptional customer service to their customers. 

Family-Owned Values

As a family-owned business, we love partnering with and supporting other family-owned businesses. It’s always wonderful to hear that the feeling is mutual, too. 

Gene Hullette, Nelson Brothers Trucking Safety Director, explains the partnership with Papé Kenworth.  “Everybody’s on a first name basis; it’s like one big family,” Gene says. “They have somebody who can answer any question or deal with any problem you can throw at ‘em.” We love to hear it!

Exceptional Communication

As a family-owned business with family-owned values, Papé Kenworth works hard to give highly customized and individualized attention to each one of our customers and partners. Nelson Brothers Trucking loves how responsive we are to time-sensitive matters; no matter what the problem is, we’re always on it right away. With a company like Nelson Brothers Trucking, if the trucks aren’t running, neither is the business. That’s why we make sure to get our partners’ trucks back on the road as soon as possible.  

Kenworth trucks are built for the long haul. Made with the highest quality of engineering, Kenworth trucks are built with longevity and safety in mind–and here at Papé Kenworth, we’re fully equipped to tackle any problem you face with your fleet. Nelson Brothers Trucking can attest to just that:
