After several years of driving truck for himself, in 1945 John H. Yourga began his trucking operation with one dump truck.  Upon purchasing his second truck, he also became a G.M.C. dealer.  This was the means by which he was able to create Yourga Trucking, Inc. as it operates today.  Knowing the business from the ground up gave John a head start at satisfying his customers.  Yourga Trucking continues to perform with the highest standards to get the job done.  A fleet of company-owned state-of-the-art equipment and company employed drivers enables Yourga Trucking to be a competitive and dependable means of shipping your products.

Over the year John managed to acquire 25 acres of land in Wheatland, Pennsylvania, for the construction of the Yourga Trucking terminal.  In May of 1985, a devastating tornado destroyed everything on the 25 acres; all the John had worked forty years to create.

He was determined that nothing would stop him or his business.  The next day, with the help of his family, friends, and employees, he set to work rebuilding.  Via a temporary location, the dedication and commitment to his company, family and employees, it took him only six months to rebuild this terminal.

When John suddenly died in March of 1987, ownership of the business passed to his daughters Beverly and Daphne.  His son-in-law Bob Churko, became president and continued to serve in that capacity until his death in 1993.  Today, Beverly and Daphne remain in the company's top executive positions.  Their children (John's grandchildren) were raised in the trucking industry and are all actively involved in the company.  Together, the family strives to maintain the tradition of pride and performance that John established over five decades ago.
