What Has Norsemen Accomplished?

We have been in the community for years. David E. & Bonnie Steffens started the company in 1979 in the town of Waseca, MN. Throughout the next few years, we gained contracts for grain and mail freight. In 1987, a section of operations was transferred down into Lake Mills, Iowa. Two years later, the whole corporation moved and settled in Lake Mills. In 1990, we were fortunate enough to purchase our first fleet of trucks under the Norsemen name. In 1994, our family business began a program with NIACC’s Auto Tech Program. This was a great example of how our company cares for the community. This was not only influential for us as a company, but also the college and the students. In 1997, Norsemen Transportation was created, which is the brokerage company made to go hand in hand with the trucking business. This was founded by David E. and David A. Steffens. A few years later in 2002, David E. and Bonnie decided that it was time to retire and handed it over to the two sons: David A. and Jay Steffens. That December, Norsemen Specialized was created, becoming our Owner Operator Division. In 2019, we reached a huge milestone: celebrating the 40th year of successful business operation. This past year, we made another monumental step by purchasing 18 brand-new fleet cabs for our drivers. These cabs include fridges, dinettes, Murphy beds, and many other amenities. Here at Norsemen Trucking, we do all that we can for our drivers’ comfort. Ever since our company’s start, our brand has grown and achieved great success. We are always looking for ways to better the company, while always supporting our employees and customers.
