Crude Oil, and Refined Products.

Ricky Shuler Trucking Inc. is a bulk commodity transport company that offers multi-modal transloading services for its crude oil and refined products customers in the major oil basins.

History

Ricky Shuler Trucking Inc. has its roots in humble beginnings, founded in 1998 by Ricky and Karen Shuler, who started as independent owner-operators with just a single truck. Driven by a strong work ethic and a vision for long-term growth, they laid the foundation for what would become a trusted name in the midstream oil and gas transportation sector.

By 2006, their growing operations led to the formal incorporation of Ricky Shuler Trucking Inc., headquartered in Texas. The company quickly established itself as a reliable service provider specializing in the storage and transportation of crude oil, natural gas, and related energy products—an essential link between the upstream extraction and downstream refining processes.

Strategic Growth and Expansion

Over the next thirteen years, the Shuler’s steadily expanded their business through organic growth, building a reputation for dependability and performance. In December 2019, the company took a significant leap forward by acquiring the assets of Xcalibur Logistics LLC, a Texas-based midstream logistics firm. This strategic acquisition more than doubled the size of the fleet to over 120 operating units, with a distinctive business model that emphasized partnerships with Owner Operators, who make up nearly the entire driver workforce.

Encouraged by the success of this milestone acquisition, Ricky Shuler Trucking Inc. set its sights on further expansion to become a leader in the crude oil transportation market. In February 2022, the company acquired key transportation assets from NGL Crude Transportation, LLC. This move once again doubled the size of the fleet—bringing the total to more than 270 operating units—and significantly extended the company’s market reach.

Today and the Road Ahead

Today, Ricky Shuler Trucking Inc. stands as one of the premier midstream crude logistics providers in the industry. The acquisition of NGL’s transportation assets not only broadened the company’s operational footprint but also enabled it to serve a new customer base, strengthening its position in the competitive energy logistics landscape.
As we look to the future, our mission remains focused: to lead the market as the top transporter of crude oil and midstream energy products, built on a foundation of safety, integrity, and customer service..
