History
Dahl Trucking was started in the mid 1980's on the family farm in East Chain, Minnesota. Working with four trucks and five employees, business was conducted from the dining room, until they began leasing office space in the mid 1990's.
During the late 1990's the John Deere building in Swea City Iowa that housed Dahl Trucking for a number of years was sold, at that time the decision was made to register the business in Minnesota. It still maintains a satellite office in Swea City Iowa.
In 1990 Dahl Trucking was incorporated by Marlin and Linda Dahl who became officers and shareholders.
1990's Dahl Trucking opened a shop located in East Chain, MN. The building houses a one bay truck wash along with five complete service bays, and five full time mechanics. The "East Chain Shop" maintains outside business along with assisting in maintaining the Dahl Trucking Fleet. It continues to be a vital part of Dahl Trucking operations.

During the winter of 2007 to early spring 2008 a portion of the building was remodeled for offices that provided Dahl Trucking Inc. the much needed space offering a conference room, drivers lounge, storage, fax room and separate offices for our employees On March 24, 2008 the main office was moved from East Chain to 305 Hwy 169 South, Elmore, MN.
