Prime Trucking


Good company for asset driver flatbed movements. They did well for us in the western mountain region.

Cargill is easily the largest privately owned. Finding the largest owned by one person is a bit more difficult it seems.

Pretty sure John Menard is the sole owner of Menard's and last I knew ABC Supply, which is actually bigger than Menard's, was owned by the founders widow.

Thought this was Cargill?

I worked for Cargill back in the late 80's- early 90's. It was a FAMILY owned company back then. But some of the "family" wanted some of their money, so the company started an employee saving plan/stock owner ship plan. This allowed the family members to be paid part of what they owned in the company.

I worked for them for 10 years, putting in max matching into the savings plan. The plan value grew really well and I ended up with over 30% return plus a good retirement payment each month.

I don't remember the net worth of Cargill back then but I think they were in the top 5 largest US companies.

Ty Warner's still owns all of Ty, Inc., but it may not be worth as much as it was 25 years ago.

Kind of awkward phrasing, not sure I've seen that before.
