Our Story
We’re Proud to Remain Family-owned and Operated Since 1985
In the beginning: 1985, ONE man, ONE tractor, ONE vision, of creating a legacy for his family. Through trial and error, David created a 50-acre pond and started shipping Live Louisiana Crawfish out of state, on ONE carrier, to ONE college buddy who sold to ONE customer in Virginia. Together with his wife and two young children, they made the house trailer on the farm a home.
In the kitchen was ONE desk, ONE landline, and a simple paper and pen setup to write orders for shipping out crawfish. They caught, packed, and delivered in ONE truck, to ONE airline, David could only imagine what his idea would eventually become. Now, 40 years later, ONE 50-acre pond has grown to OVER 1,000 acres on the original location. The ONE truck is now a fleet purchasing crawfish from other South Louisiana farmers and transporting them to ONE of our three shipping centers throughout the state.
No longer ONE Airline, we now utilize FedEx, UPS, and Southwest Airlines to supply our ever-growing customer base. Still family owned and operated, we now also employ a krewe of team members to carry out the multitude of tasks it takes to ship LOUISIANA to YOU!! How did this happen? It started with ONE, and multitudes of support to grow a vision into a reality!
