Committed to Excellence
At Nationwide, we are aiming to add as much value to trucking companies, semi-trailer manufacturers/dealers, and any company that needs to reposition dry vans or reefers.
Our Legacy
- Founded by Bernie Eggers in 1984
- Bernie grew up in the trucking business. Trucking was all that he ever did. He loved it
- Worked for a trucking company. Navajo Freight lines in the 60’s
- Worked for Timpte Trailer Mfg. in the late 70’s and early 80’s
- Formed Nationwide in 1984 with one small office, a typewriter, and a pile of yellow legal pads. (to show elementary beginnings to the robust business that it is today)
- Unfortunately, we lost our dedicated founder in 2016
Progression to who we are today
Troy Eggers, President and owner, believes that Nationwide is only as good as the people that it employs, the customers that it serves, and the vendors that we work with. We have had very little turnover in our history. We believe in taking good care of people. If we do, they take good care of us!. We have been fortunate to have such dedicated employees! Nationwide’s employees have an incredible work ethic. We service the entire continent of North America so we are up early and we stay late to service both coasts and everyone in between. We are committed to integrity, honesty, and good old fashioned hard work!

Troy Eggers
President & Owner
Troy serves as the Owner, President, and General Manager of Nationwide. He oversees all aspects of company business including Sales, Operations, Marketing, IT, A/P, A/R, CFO. Troy began at Nationwide in 1988. Like Bernie, trucking is all he ever knew! Troy’s main challenge in the early days was to bring Nationwide up to date in terms of modern technology. Nationwide, like most small family-owned businesses in the 80’s, did everything by hand in the early days. It was clear that technology needed to be harnessed to maximize our efficiency for our customer and carrier bases. Today, our processes have been streamlined! Data entry happens once. Automation then takes over. We are streamlined. We are efficient. We are transparent to customers and carriers. Troy loves the challenge of small business! His goal is to create value for trucking companies and trailer manufacturers throughout North America.

Technology
Nationwide believes in harnessing technology. It is a part of who we are. We have spent the last several years developing a cloud-based tracking system and database.

Relationship
As mentioned above, Nationwide is only as good as the customers that it serves and the trucking companies that pull trailers for us. We have spent 35 years forging relationships with all of our customers and our vendors. It is our goal to meet every one of them face to face! In the last few years, we have increased our travel budget with the goal of putting a face with a name. It has been so good to finally meet in person those that we have dealt with for years!
