THE WHOLE STORY
In 1995, Scott Ballard bought his first truck, a 1985 Western Star, and entered the world of trucking. He got to work hauling gas and other commodities, working long hours as an owner-operator. He spent many days driving and many nights wrenching on the old Western Star. He has fond memories of his first truck. He worked with many of the "old-timers", truckers from prior generations who taught him much of what he knows today. In 1997, Scott expanded his business to two trucks, managing one while running the other.
Under the current leadership, the company has grown from those 2 tractors to 35+ tractors and over 60 trailers and other pieces of equipment. S.C. Ballard, LLC, has become a major player in the trucking and hauling industry in Connecticut as well as throughout the Northeast.
Today, Scott shares his passion for trucking along with our people. Curtis Gulliford brings his calm, cool, collected attitude and management experience to handle the day to day operations. Nate Henderson has the depths of knowledge of the trucking industry like no other and has more than a million accident free miles with SC Ballard!
We don't spend our days at truck shows. We spend our days creating our own truck shows up and down the interstates. Look for our trucks and wave to us!
