Bruce Yates graduated from Quartz Hill High School in the Antelope Valley in July 1974. At the age of 17 he joined The United States Marine Corps, and served the Country for 4 years during the Vietnam war. After discharged in 1978 he was always interested in heavy equipment, and the trucking industry. In 1980 Bruce married his wife Ann of 37 years, and decided to start a family. They together, had and raised two boys, Chris and Mike, who would eventually become a major part of the company. With the help of a friend Bruce got his class A license and worked for a local Antelope Valley trucking company as a teamster apprentice. After a couple of years, he realized he didn't want to be just an employee. In 1987 he became an independent owner operator with one truck, and for the next few years began to seek out work with rock plants, brokers, contractors, etc. During the next 23 years he soon added a couple of transfers, and a couple of drivers to help with the workload. Since the customer base was growing, there became a need to expand.

In 2010 the company was incorporated, and became Yates Trucking Inc. Today, after close to 40 years of Trucking, the company has grown to 8 truck & trailers, and a reputation for clean, well maintained equipment, and professional employees. With the company being a family oriented business, Bruce depends highly on his two sons, Chris & Mike to keep up with the demand of current company business relations, and daily operations. With times changing, and the newer generation beginning to be more prevalent in the workforce, it is time to work toward a company with innovative ideas, and methods to succeed. Chris & Mike have The background, and the knowledge to begin the transition to make our company prosper. We are proud of all our dedicated employees who keep our trucks clean and maintained, and Office staff, who all keep our company able to provide professional service our customers daily.
