ABOUT US
Cliff’s Trucking is a multi-generational family-owned business that has stood the test of time. It all began in 1963, when Clifford A. Lakeman sold his successful pottery business and made the bold decision to venture into land development. Starting with just one loader and two dump trucks, Clifford laid the foundation for what would become a successful enterprise.
As the years went by, Clifford nurtured his passion for the industry and as the business grew he brought on his two sons. Steve and Bill Lakeman started working with their father at a young age. This early exposure to the business allowed Steve and Bill to learn the ropes and develop their own love for land development.
In the 1980s, under the leadership of Steve and Bill, Cliff’s Trucking took a significant leap forward by diving into mass earthwork. This strategic move propelled the company to new heights, as they undertook ambitious projects and showcased their expertise in handling large-scale excavation and earthmoving operations.
Today, Cliff’s Trucking continues to thrive under the ownership and management of Steve Lakeman, while Bill Lakeman enjoys retirement. The family orientated business continues to bring that wholesome feeling as the third generation, Cliff and Joey Lakeman, are currently working to take the company to the next level. Named after his late grandfather Cliff Lakeman currently sits as the companies Vice President. This “Family Owned and Operated” company takes that title very seriously and continues to work every day to preserve the legacy of Clifford A. Lakeman.
The company’s commitment to excellence, their deep-rooted knowledge of the industry, and their ability to adapt to changing times have been key factors in their longevity. They stay focused on doing what is right for their clients understanding that in many cases this may cost them the job; although, in many cases it eventually earns them another lifelong client. Cliff’s Trucking stands as a testament to the power of family values, hard work, and a passion for the land development business.
