Hill Brothers Transportation was started in 1986 by the four Hill Brothers, but their experience in the trucking industry goes back three generations.
Their grandfather, Robert L. Hill, retired from PIE as district manager of the Midwest in 1970. His trucking career began as a office manager with McMaken Transportation in 1932. He went on to work for RISK of Omaha in 1935 and was transferred Chicago. There he eventually went to work for Union Freightways and was transferred back to Omaha in 1946. Later, Union Freightways was bought out by PIE, and Robert climbed the corporate ladder to district manager and retired in 1970.
Their father, John "Pete" Hill, began his career with Union Freightways in 1949. It was here he met LaRue. They married in 1952. Pete went on to work for Boss Truck Lines, and together he and Lu began their family. In 1962, he started working for Sioux Transportation. The older children were brought in to learn the trucking business. Pete resigned as executive vice president in 1977 and formed Hill Truck Line with his wife, Lu and older son, Pete, Jr.
Soon the rest of the family began work in the operation and eventually the brothers formed Hill Brothers Transportaion.
