Statement of Faith

"My father, Larry V. Morrell, founded this trucking company with the belief that Christian values would be an essential cornerstone. It is my desire and commitment to remain on the same path, always remembering our purpose." - Trent Morrell

“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”
Colossians 3:23

As God’s stewards, we strive to enhance the lives of our employees, customers, and vendors by dedicating the purpose of our business to bring God glory and honor. We hope to echo the sentiment of C.T. Studd’s famous words, “Only one life ‘twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.” Our efforts to maintain this commitment involve several core values which include the following: work ethic, excellence, efficiency, professionalism, and teamwork. We believe these core values are interconnected with the Christian values we hope to exhibit. “For in the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it is very difficult to have a meaningful life without meaningful work” (Jim Collins).

"All the credit will be given to God for any success we should achieve." - Trent Morrell

“Remember the Lord your God. He is the One who gives you the power to be successful”
Deuteronomy 8:18
