An appeal to our friends and neighbors for help with resources and relocation to eastern Oregon where we will have room to grow! Providing new opportunities and showing an example of a better way of doing business. This is the meaning of Great American Transport!

For those who don’t know me, my name is Cory, I’m 32 years old. I started a small commercial hauling business in the spring of 2020, with nothing but an old farm truck and a vision. The trouble was, this was just before COVID hit the economy. Ever since I have been working day jobs and strugg...

A difficult decision regarding the future of this company has been made. It has been at last decided, that when the time comes for Fort Rock Valley to open for business, all operations on the Waldo Hills side will cease permanently. This does not mean that ODT will no longer serve the communities of the Waldo Hills region. It does mean that there will no longer be a Waldo Hills Hub. It is sad to think of shutting down operations at the founding location of this company. However, it is for the greater good that this decision has been made. Demand and clientele have simply dropped off, and there is no sign of them coming back. Changes and adjustments must come to American small businesses now and then. For if a small business doesn’t adapt it doesn’t survive. It is with this in mind that Old Detroit announces the impending dissolution of the Waldo Hills side of the business.
Our sights are set firmly on the Fort Rock Valley and on expansion from there. More updates will come in due time.

Feeling the financial crunch of these times we’re living in, Old Detroit has decided to reduce hourly rates for Residential, Agricultural and Commercial Jobsite logistics and labor! Check out our services to see the updated rates, now discounted by over 20%! It is the deepest desire of our company to do our very best to serve the needs of our communities. But also to do so at the lowest rates around! So if it’s spring cleaning time, or you just need some help with a project we are here. Sincerely, your friends and neighbors in the transport industry since 2020!

For the first time in just over three years, Waldo Hills is back in operation in the Santiam Canyon! Last time we were a part of the efforts to clean the remains of the old, and this time we get the privilege of providing help with creating the new! Contracted for logistics and on site support in the construction of a venue for special events. This should bring about much needed expansion which is long overdue. Ultimately this expansion will result in the foundation of Old Detroit Fort Rock Valley!
By the grace of God the fighting spirit of America and its small businesses lives on through these trying and uncertain times. God Bless the USA!

Though the odds seemed against it, there is finally an update that’s been long in coming! Just in time for summer, Waldo Hills is OPEN! Unfortunately only on a limited basis for the time being, but back in business none the less! Next on our to do list? Expansion! In the meantime we will also be joining our friends and neighbors in the Santiam Canyon once again to say happy birthday to this great country in just a few more weeks! More updates to come. May God bless America!

2022 has been a ride. As the year comes to a close, ODT is about to be knocking on the door of our 3rd birthday! With that thankfully comes some big news! Before the year is out, the first round of ODT apparel will be out! And soon enough it will be available to order. More updates soon on this.

In 2023 the company will be divided into two separate bases of operation. The founding location in the Waldo Hills region will remain on a limited basis. It is however the Fort Rock Valley region of southeast Oregon that will become the main location for Old Detroit next year! And now for the final big announcement.

Dimensional timber will be available soon! We will be working on innovative ways to bring our own unique touches to an ever-growing market! Ultimately a stationary mill will be erected, but until then a smaller apparatus will do. More updates on this new venture will be passed along in due time.

We have all had a rough go this year folks. There’s no denying times are tough all around. But as long as that flag still flies and we still remember what it stands for we must remember also that we are Americans! We have been through trying times before. And by the grace of God we will get through them again!

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season and a very Merry Christmas! From your friends and neighbors at Old Detroit Trucking!

Company contact information is now updated! Also the decision has been made to split the company, retaining the founding Waldo Hills, OR location as an annex hub while expanding to a new Fort Rock Valley, OR base hub! In other news, ODT apparel is officially in the works! More updates on these matters will come soon. Lots of big things are in the process as we like so many others are fighting to stay afloat. May God bless and keep us all through these trying times. United will we continue to stand!
