H & S Trucking was founded in 1969 when a 1947 International KB-8 was bought for $2,500. It was driven by Luis Hernandez, the company’s founder, and in 1972 a second truck was bought for his 17-year-old son Ernie Hernandez to start trucking with his father. Ernie is still our primary dispatcher today.

In the 1970s H & S Trucking moved from Clovis, Ca to Orange Cove, Ca. The company has remained at 5035 South Hills Valley Road ever since.

As the company grew Luis created an office space for his daughter Patty to do all of the bookwork. She still works in that office today with a small staff of dedicated employees.

In its early years, H & S Trucking pulled 10-16 bins per day, pulling grapes from Madera to Fresno and citrus from Clovis to Cuttler. Currently, H & S Trucking hauls a variety of agricultural commodities throughout California, with 25 trucks pulling multiple loads per day.
