Our History

1930's
1930's
Original Stricktainer innovative hauling container
The roots of Strick Trailers, LLC extend back to the 1930s, when Frank Strick first applied his knowledge of aircraft engineering to the trucking business. Strick built the first “frameless” monocoque trailer body—quite a revolutionary development at the time.

Monocoque construction—and the use of aluminum rather than steel—led to bigger and lighter trailers, which meant more freight could be hauled by one truck. Today, that pioneering spirit continues with innovative trailer design and manufacturing techniques that bring you the finest dry van trailers on the road.
