Since 1945, trust and integrity have guided our operations. We’ve learned that the best way to deliver on our ideals is to hire the right staff, partner with the best customers and act with integrity. STATEMENT OF FAITH We believe God owns this business and we are just stewards of it for a season. WE BELIEVE > The Bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative word of God. For the salvation of lost and sinful humanity, regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus Christ is absolutely essential. In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His atoning death and resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory to establish a kingdom for all eternity. In the resurrection of the saved and the lost, those who are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life, and those who are lost unto the resurrection of eternal damnation. There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the present ministry of Jesus Christ by whose indwelling, the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. OUR HISTORY A Strong, Purpose-Driven Foundation 1945 Nussbaum Trucking is founded by Alden Nussbaum in Fairbury, IL. He had a single truck and a simple vision: “If you take care of your people, the rest will take care of itself.” Little did he know, that vision and his faith-driven focus would take Nussbaum a long way. 1950 The very first terminal is built in order to handle multiple trucks in the Nussbaum fleet. 1965 Moved operations to Normal, IL 1968 Started a truckload division in several states. Nussbaum runs both businesses side by side out of their Operations Center. 2000 Brent Nussbaum is now at the head of the company. He leads Nussbaum with the same purpose-driven focus his father Alden instilled from the start. 2018 Nussbaum Transportation becomes employee-owned through a benefit plan called an ESOP (employee stock ownership plan). The Nussbaum family transitioned 35% of the company ownership to employees. Becoming employee-owned fits the company’s values of taking care of employees, rewarding commitment, and protecting Nussbaum’s heritage and culture. Today Now an employee-owned company, we have re-solidified our mission and vision to be purpose driven in everything we do to positively impact the lives of everyone we interact with. We embrace the opportunity to serve our customers and employee-owners with a level of care and integrity that is unique to Nussbaum.
