For Reggie Dupré, finding a reliable transporter to deliver fuel to his small service station in rural Louisiana proved difficult. Frustrated with being overlooked by higher-volume haulers and fully prepared to tackle the problem himself, he founded Dupré Transport, LLC, in Lafayette in 1980 as a specialized hauler of bulk liquid commodities. Initially, he had only two trucks — one being a spare used for parts — but he aimed to fill the marketplace void for reliable fuel distribution.

Dupré began transporting his own product and soon was asked to provide services for other independent retailers. In 1986, Dupré acquired Fogleman Truck Line, a dry goods transporter dating back to 1932. Two acquisitions later and Dupré was en route to becoming the diverse logistics service provider it is today. The company expanded its reach into Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Oklahoma as a fuel hauler and grew its over-the-road capacity. Bolstered by a robust economy, Dupré grew from a truckload fleet into brokerage, traffic management and dedicated fleets.

The three major business groups recognizable today are Site & Private Fleet Services, Strategic
Capacity Services and Energy Distribution Services.

Dupré Logistics operates almost 400 trucks, employs nearly 800 professional drivers in its dedicated fleets and has established a network of 2,000 preferred carriers through a stringent carrier approval process. Dupré operates from hubs near major metropolitan areas and serves all of the contiguous 48 states and parts of Canada and Mexico. Meet the operations and logistics professionals at Dupré today.
