Past, Present & Future

Past

HistoryEe-Jay Motor Transports, Inc. was founded by E. J. Dougherty in 1953.

HistoryIn 1957 Ee-Jay built and operated a liquid petroleum wax storage and blending facility in East St. Louis, IL that was designed by Socony-Mobil Oil Corp.

Customers included Mobil, Sun Oil Corp, Gulf and a number of brokers.

While most of the wax was destined to dairies via Ee-Jay Truck and used to coat the cardboard milk carton, much of the wax was blended and packaged in fiber drums for shipment to a wide variety of end users from candle makers to tri nitro toluene (TNT) Dynamite stick manufacturers.

HistoryInterestingly, Ee-Jay delivers plastic pellets for the molding of milk bottles today to the same dairies it delivered liquid petroleum wax to nearly 70 years earlier.

In 1992, by invitation from our existing customers in East St. Louis, Ee-Jay opened and continues to operate today, a full service satellite terminal in Minneapolis / St. Paul, MN.


Present
