Transcript

Doug Andrus Distributing started in Idaho Falls in 1937 with one small truck, one employee, and one route. Doug Andrus Sr. built the company on a simple idea: treat people right, and they will stay.

The early days meant dirt roads, gravel roads, and long runs between Idaho and Utah. The company kept growing, weathered hard times, and eventually passed to the next generation of the Andrus family.

Today, Doug Andrus serves customers across the United States and Western Canada. The equipment has changed and the company has grown, but the commitment is still the same: work hard, take care of people, and stay in it for the long haul.
