Morning Star Trucking Company

In 1970, Chris Rufer began Morning Star as a one-truck owner-operator company in California’s Central Valley, hauling tomatoes from fields to canneries. With a passion for innovation, this one-truck operation grew into a vertically integrated enterprise. Our brand now includes the three largest tomato processing facilities in the world, a transplanting and harvesting operation, sun-drying facility, foodservice program and R&D development.​ However, Morning Star started out as a trucking company, and trucking is still a vital part of who we are.​

Our mission is, and always has been, to transport tomatoes from the fields to factories and provide transport services to our freight customers at the highest level of efficiency possible in a safe and timely manner. Morning Star has numerous seasonal and year-round truck driving jobs available. See our employment page for more information.
