Bruenger Trucking got its start during the Great Depression when a hired hand decided to steal the pickup truck of dairy farmers Maurice and Leona Bruenger.
After the abandoned truck was later found in Virginia, Mr. Bruenger took the train up to retrieve it and drive it home to his Wellington, Kansas farm. But rather than drive it home empty, the budding entrepreneur filled up the bed with apples and brought them back to sell. That day a trucking company was born.
