William Parker Associates

SAFE. SECURE. EFFICIENT.

<p>A fourth generation family business since 1939,&nbsp;Parker Trucking was founded to provide high quality transportation for local shippers. &nbsp;We started providing delivery services to the ingredients trade which included commodities such as sugar, flour, and fruit jellies. Abbott\'s Dairies,&nbsp;Jack Frost Sugar, and Bond Baking were customers back then;&nbsp;just to name a few. We developed into offering our customers value added warehousing services. &nbsp;We would would hold inventory for grain brokers and expedite delivery when they had a sale. In the 1970\'s, Parker Trucking evolved into William Parker Associates which expanded into port deliveries with break bulk cargo and then containerization. We held a PA PUC license and in the 1980\'s we became an ICC carrier for hire after deregulation. In 1990, we were approved by U.S. Customs as a bonded cartman and carrier. Our specialized port to port service expanded and we developed strong relationships with customhouse brokers and steamship lines.&nbsp;&nbsp;In 1993, we purchased our first Tri-Axle chassis. &nbsp;Our overweight container hauling business grew and William Parker Associates was one of the first trucker\'s on the East Coast to offer legal and safe transport of overweight containers on a volume basis.&nbsp; This growth facilitated the opening of our current 10 acre terminal/warehouses in Philadelphia and the addition of a trucking terminal in the Port of Baltimore. &nbsp;In the 2000\'s, we began offering cold storage warehousing services and developed into a main transfer station for transloading and cross-docking services, especially for increased payload containers needing distribution through our sister company Associates Warehousing. &nbsp;With over 75 years of trucking deliveries in our portfolio,&nbsp;we are proud of some of the unique types of cargo we have transported: &nbsp;Fighter jet fuselages and wings; &nbsp;Military transport vehicles; A sacred Buddha Statue;&nbsp;A Greenhouse to Philly\'s own Will Smith.&nbsp; Please check our blog for the latest bombshell... &nbsp; Today,&nbsp;William Parker Associates is poised to meet the transportation challenges of the 21st. century with dispatch technology and modern equipment to handle your international cargo in a safe, secure, and efficient manner.</p>
