Our History
Who we are...
Family Owned
Continental Truck Freight Brokers, a family-owned company headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon. Since 1957 they have been delivering on that promise, coordinating the shipment of everything from military supplies to Oregon grown produce throughout the United States.
How we started...
Lee Olsen, founder of Continental, saw a need for a truck brokerage business in the Northwest with the approach of the Vietnam War, when military supplies were needed on the east coast for shipment overseas.
Although Olsen built Continental catering to this niche market, he also realized the business must expand its services in order to survive long term. In the 1970s, Oregon agriculture, and particularly the growing nursery industry, provided Olsen with that opportunity.
Who we are today...
Today, Continental is owned by Karen Olsen. With offices in Boise, Idaho, and Wilsonville, Oregon, Continental contracts with small and independent trucking companies to transport Oregon nursery stock, agricultural products and a wide range of other items – all the way to plumbing fixtures – around the nation.
Continental takes its position in the shipping industry very seriously. The employees – most of whom have been there for thirty years or longer – work hard to foster understanding and communication between shippers and carriers.
