In 1946, Kenneth Savage returned home to Utah from serving in World War II and purchased a KB-5 International stake body truck, the first investment in C.A. Savage & Son. Together with his brothers, Neal and Luke, who joined the company shortly after its founding, Kenneth would drive 75 miles outside of Salt Lake, load the truck with seven tons of coal—by hand—and drive it back to Salt Lake City, where the brothers would deliver the critical fuel to their Customers’ stores and homes.

From that humble beginning, the Savage Family of Companies, which provides service offerings for truck, rail, and marine transportation and logistics, materials handling, and other industrial services, has grown to employ 5,000 Team Members across 220 locations around the world. The driving factor in the success of our Evergreen® company’s Paced Growth for over 70 years has been a deep, abiding commitment, first by the Savage brothers, and now by those of us who are stewards of the business, to their founding principles.
