About

Kitchen Family Trucking is a family of companies centered around the trucking and transportation industry.

It all started with C.E. Kitchen Trucking in 1979 with just a couple of trucks and trailers down in southern Ohio. We joined PGT trucking in 1982 operating in West Portsmouth, OH. In 1994 the business relocated to Leipsic in northwest Ohio to service new steel processing facilities. We continue to be independent contractors and work exclusively for and have been partners with PGT Trucking since 1982.

Kitchen Family Generations

Celebrating 3 Generations of Kitchen Family Trucking

Grandpa Ora Kitchen drove truck in the early days and retired as driver, grandma Clara drove school bus and kept us nourished while working on equipment each weekend growing up. Chuck Sr. was the innovator and developer growing the fleet and business for years to come with wife Dianna driving school bus and working back office support. Today twin sons Mike and Chuck Jr. as well as wives Lisa and Wendy carry on the family tradition. Today our professional family includes Scott Wilson, Kevin Klausing, Kelvin Rivers, Tammy West, Gary Shope, Gary Warnimont, and Connor Kitchen.

C&D Dispatch

We are agents for PGT Trucking Inc. and operate Terminals for PGT in Leipsic, OH and Dearborn, MI, and Cleveland, OH. We provide direct service to customers from the greater Lake Erie region including Ontario Canada, Michigan, Northern Ohio, and Northeast Indiana. We offer logistics services to our customers and brokerage options to our valued independent carriers. We specialize in flatbed deliveries and our primary commodity is steel products, hauling master and slit coils, sheets, and long steel. We also have open flatbeds that haul building materials. If it moves on a flatbed, we can generally take care of it. We have local dedicated routes, regional lanes, Over the Road, and Canadian compliant lanes of business.

C&D Truck Repair

Along with our trucking and dispatch services we also have a 14,400 square foot maintenance facility. This facility allows us to keep our equipment in top shape. We provide roadside assistance and replacement truck towing capabilities to get our drivers back moving when a breakdown does occur. We also provide outside services to our PGT independent contractors.
