Vernon Transpiration was established in 1985 by John Aguilar with just one truck and only himself as the driver. John was a firm believer in that if you wanted to be good at something, then that has to be the only thing you do!

That motto still runs true today as we are dedicated to hauling only sweeteners. With this type of dedication and roots in the sweetener industry dating back to the early 50’s, we have always set our standards to the absolute highest, surpassing even the customers that we haul for.

This has allowed Vernon Transportation to become known as the premier transporter of sweeteners nationwide and is the most requested carrier by all of the major sweetener suppliers and customers in the food and beverage industry.
