As Shelby Trailer Service, LLC approaches its 27th anniversary, the company reflects on nearly three decades of craftsmanship, innovation, and family-driven dedication.
Based in Comanche, Oklahoma, Shelby Trailer Service specializes in high-performance trailer flooring made from recycled rubber and plastic. Since its founding in 1999 by Ronnie Shelby, the company has built a reputation for producing durable, sustainable flooring solutions trusted across the livestock, horse, equipment, and flatbed trailer industries nationwide.
A Family Legacy in the Trailer Industry
The Shelby family’s roots in the trailer industry stretch back more than 50 years. Beginning in 1972, the family developed deep, hands-on experience in trailer manufacturing and repair—learning firsthand what materials perform best under demanding real-world conditions.
That knowledge became the foundation for innovation. In the mid-1990s, Ronnie Shelby began experimenting with composite lumber alternatives designed specifically for trailer flooring, setting the stage for what would become Shelby Trailer Service, LLC.
Founding of Shelby Trailer Service, LLC
In 1999, Shelby Trailer Service, LLC was officially established in Comanche, Oklahoma. From the start, the mission was straightforward but ambitious:
Deliver high-quality trailer flooring made from recycled materials—without compromising strength or performance.
This commitment positioned the company at the intersection of durability and sustainability long before eco-friendly manufacturing became an industry standard.
Innovative Trailer Flooring Solutions
One of the company’s earliest breakthroughs was the Original Cross Lug livestock trailer board, introduced in the late 1990s. Engineered for maximum traction and long-term durability, it quickly became a trusted solution in demanding livestock hauling environments.
