About Hercules Transport

UPPLYING YOUR PETROLEUM NEEDS FOR OVER 50 YEARS!

In 1973, John O'Neal and R.W. Anderson purchased an underground storage facility in Gibsland, LA from Hercules Petroleum Corporation. This acquisition included a fleet of L.P. Gas trailers and allowed the O'Neal family to expand their L.P. Gas wholesale marketing operations. In addition, Hercules Transport, Inc. was organized to identify the activities of the trucking company with a terminal in Choudrant, LA. In the early 1980's, Tom O'Neal, son of founder John O'Neal, opened a Marketing office in Houston, TX. The deregulation of the 1980's and 1990's provided many opportunities for Hercules Transport, Inc. to expand its transportation services. In 1987, Hercules Transport opened its first South Louisiana truck terminal in Carville, LA. The terminal in Rayne, LA opened in the Fall of 1996, and another in Dayton, TX in Summer 1998.
