Thank You
As we wrap up another successful quarter at Coastal Plains Trucking, I’m excited to share some key highlights. Our focus on safety has significantly improved our safety scores, which is a testament to the hard work of our drivers, dispatchers, and safety team. Their dedication ensures every haul meets the highest standards.
We’ve received outstanding feedback from our customers, reflecting the reliable and professional service our drivers provide. Your commitment to excellence strengthens relationships and opens new doors for growth.
In addition to our success in cryogenic markets, our sand, crude oil, and water transportation divisions have seen remarkable growth. Our sand division has recently broken CPT records, delivering an unprecedented volume. This achievement highlights the efficiency and expertise of our team, positioning us as a vital partner in this market.
Our crude oil transportation sector also remains strong, with a solid track record of safely and efficiently delivering crude to refineries and key markets. As demand for reliable crude oil logistics continues, our fleet is optimized to handle these critical loads, ensuring we maintain our leadership role in the energy supply chain. Our ability to meet the fluctuating demands of the global energy market further strengthens our standing as a trusted player in crude oil transport.
Exciting developments are underway in our water division, which has recently seen a significant uptick in load volumes thanks to the addition of several new customer locations. Water transportation is crucial for supporting oil and gas operations, particularly in West Texas, and our team delivers exceptional service in this market.
Meanwhile, in the cryogenic markets, demand remains strong for CO2 and industrial gases, and we are expanding our capabilities in these specialized sectors. Industries like food processing, energy, healthcare, and manufacturing rely on these gases, and our ability to handle these loads with precision has set us apart. We’re also exploring new transborder opportunities with Canada, further positioning ourselves to become a North American cryogenic transportation leader.
Our efforts in the compressed natural gas (CNG) sector, particularly in West Texas, are also paying off. With the rising demand for sustainable fuel alternatives, we’re enhancing our operations to meet the needs of CNG transport. Our partnerships with key energy sector players and investment in CNG transportation will ensure we’re well-prepared to lead in this growing market.
Coastal Plains Trucking is well-positioned for future growth and continued success across our sand, crude oil, water, cryogenic, and CNG markets. None of this would be possible without your hard work and dedication. Your efforts drive us forward, and I’m confident that we’ll continue to see great success together.
Thank you for your commitment and hard work in safely delivering uncompromised service!

Out of this World
Did you know Coastal Plains Trucking keeps things moving across the continental United States and into 
outer space? We’re proud to honor Eric Pielecki (left). Eric hauled many loads out to the Blue Origin site – where private citizens Jeff Bezos, Mark Bezos, Wally Funk and Oliver Daemen became astronauts following a successful round trip past the Kármán Line, the internationally recognized boundary of space. This project has been Eric’s main focus for several years. Following the success of New Shepard’s recent mission, we recognized Eric for his efforts with a special award (presented by Glenn Brewer, right).
