About Us

The Autumn Transport Story

Starting with an old-school thirteen hole Timpte grain hopper and a vision for the future Autumn Transport was founded in April 1980 in Lake Elmo, Minnesota by Lowell and Beverly Rieks.

1981: Dispatch Department

With the steady growth of our trailer fleet, the founding principles that ignited our company created a need for the establishment of a full-time dispatch department.

1984: Tanker Division

After experiencing rapid growth in our Hopper fleet, a significant milestone was reached when we introduced a tanker division, instantly doubling the size of our company. This strategic expansion not only increased our capacity but also empowered us to provide superior service to our clients through the transportation of agricultural liquids.

1993: End Dump Division

A decade of successful operations opened doors to further expansion as we ventured into the End Dump world, adding nearly 20 trailers to our growing fleet. This period of growth presented us with ample opportunities to expand our services and enhance our capabilities.

1995: Pneumatics Division

Responding to persistent customer demand, Autumn took a bold leap forward by introducing the Pneumatic division. Today, this division stands as our fastest-growing fleet, boasting an impressive count of 70 trailers and continuing to expand steadily.
