Our Story

It started with determination

Gabe Mendez worked for himself as a truck driver in the Los Angeles area. He bought his first tractor and became an owner-operator for hire, then grew that into multiple tractors and multiple trucks.

In 1969 he moved his family from the LA area to Auburn, California. In 1974 he established Gabe Mendez Inc., a company built on three core values.
