Our Story
Family-owned.
Moving freight
since 1978.
Lykes Cartage started in Lubbock with one cargo van and one bobtail truck. The first expansion was Amarillo. In 1993 we took on a large Austin contract and moved the corporate headquarters there.
Eleven terminals today — Texas, Florida, and New Mexico. Same family-owned company on the back end of every shipment.

Why Lykes
What 45 years on the road builds.
24/7 Real Dispatch
A real person answers the phone at 2am. Not a voicemail tree, not an automated system — a dispatcher who can book a truck and get it moving.
11 Terminals, One Call
Our network means your freight moves on Lykes equipment the whole way. Shorter deadheads. Faster pickups. No brokering the last leg to a stranger.
Family-Owned Since 1978
Same family on the back end of every shipment. The trucks are newer and the software has changed, but the operating model hasn't: answer the phone, run the freight, deliver the paperwork same day.
