Our Team

Patterson Trans Inc. is a family-owned refrigerated trucking company built by Maurice and Elizabeth Patterson on three words: Passion, Tenacity, and Integrity. For over 25 years, that founding philosophy has guided every hire we've made and every driver we've put behind the wheel of a reefer trailer.

Meet the Founders

Maurice & Elizabeth Patterson

Patterson Trans Inc. is led by Maurice and Elizabeth Patterson, who built the company in 2001 on a simple belief: transportation should be safe, reliable, and honest. Their hands-on leadership style shows up in how the company still operates today — decisions get made quickly, problems get solved directly, and every truck on the road carries the Patterson name personally.

Together with a team bringing 60 years of combined experience in refrigerated transport and logistics, the Pattersons have built a reputation across Fontana and the Inland Empire for reliable, efficient service and a level of accountability that larger, corporate-run carriers often can't match.

Why Our Team Makes the Difference

Every driver on our team is trained and qualified specifically for cold chain handling, not just general freight movement, and our dispatch team monitors every refrigerated load in transit so problems get caught before they become claims. That level of care doesn't happen by accident — it's the direct result of a leadership team that has stayed hands-on since day one.
