Halvor Lines, Inc. was founded in 1968 by Bill
Vinje and 4 partners, (all owner-operators) to
haul snowmobiles and related products for
Halvorson Equipment Co. of Duluth, Minnesota, a
distributor for Bombardier Corp.
of Quebec, Canada. This was the era of regulation and over the
next 10 years Halvor Lines had obtained I.C.C.
authority to haul for several shippers, and also
transport exempt commodities throughout the
United States and Canada.
By 1977 Halvor Lines, Inc. had a fleet of
40 tractors & 50 trailers, and Bill had
purchased his partners' interest in the
company.
Since deregulation in 1980 Halvor Lines,
Inc. has increased its customer base with the
addition of several major shippers throughout
our service area. This has afforded us the
opportunity to increase our fleet to 390
tractors and 900 trailers.
Bill passed away July 2001. Halvor Lines,
Inc. continues to be a family run business. The
management team is lead by Jon Vinje: President,
and Lori Vinje-Pint: Vice President.
We have incorporated modern technology
such as state of the art computer systems,
mobile communication, and late model
transportation equipment with a great work force
to be one of the premier carriers in the
nation.
We plan to continue our endeavor with
controlled growth and superb service for a long
and prosperous future.
