24,000 square feet of space! More than 65 years ago, Valley Cartage sprouted roots in the, then small, town of Hudson, Wisconsin. It was at this time that Norman Gilbert, (the father of the current owner Jerry Gilbert) discovered that the St. Croix Valley area would benefit from a reliable and efficient transport company. Beginning with just a handful of trucks in 1935, the Valley Cartage family toiled out of the old building on 11th St for more than 50 years.
But in the year 2000, a new chapter was opened in the family story. This started with the completion of a "state of the art" warehouse and office complex in the new "St Croix Business Park."
Three Gilbert generations have contributed to the growth and customer satisfaction of the family business and today, Valley Cartage boasts a fleet of trucks, trailers, and panel trucks, as well as 24,000 square feet of available warehouse space!
