Make Sure Your Sound Is Turned ON!
From Wrenches to Freight: Our Journey Since 1993
West Penn Diesel began in 1993 as West Penn Diesel & Refrigeration Inc., a hands-on repair shop in Shelocta, Pennsylvania.
Our mission back then was simple: help trucking companies stay safe, efficient, and on the road. In the late '90s, we expanded into transportation ourselves — taking that same care, grit, and mechanical know-how into freight hauling across Pennsylvania and the Midwest.
Today, with terminals near Pittsburgh and Shelocta, our fleet keeps industrial freight moving on time, with integrity at every mile marker.
Drivers and Customers Know Us By Name
We’re a small, family-run operation with a big commitment: treat people right. Whether you’re behind the wheel or behind a shipment, you’ll deal directly with someone who answers the phone, solves the problem, and follows through.
Our trucks are well-maintained, our lanes are consistent, and our team — from dispatch to mechanics — knows exactly what it takes to keep things rolling.
No red tape. No runaround. Just real people doing honest work.
Honesty, Safety, and Hard Work — Always
We built this company on honest quotes, safe driving, and a relentless work ethic. Our word means something. When we say we’ll deliver your freight on time, we will. When we say we care about drivers, we show it — with solid pay, weekly home time, and equipment that works.
Whether you're looking for a reliable carrier or a job where you're valued, West Penn Diesel is the team that stands by what we say.
"10/10 carrier partner"
"As a shipper, we've been working with Rick, Nichole and the whole WPD crew for years. They have hauled thousands of loads for us. They're always ready to help at the drop of a hat and switch around their schedule to accommodate whatever we ask of them. 10/10 carrier partner and we're looking forward to doing more business together."
