About NTC – Nebraska Transport Company:
NTC- Nebraska Transport Company was started by Richard “Dick” Holliday Sr. in 1973. During the beginning he operated one lane, shipping to and from Scottsbluff NE from Omaha NE. NTC started operation October 28th, 1973 and had two straight trucks, two leased trucks and two borrowed trailers. The first load that was sent to Omaha had a mere 556 lbs on it and with the exceptions of weather delays, we have not failed that run since. Our Black and Gold colors are a result of the first straight truck, a old Hertz truck with the yellow cab and a black square painted over the Hertz sign on the door. We covered the black box by painting on NTC. From our very humble beginnings NTC has grown into the premier Midwest LTL carrier that has nationwide capabilities to service your transportation needs.
