About Dupre
Dupré Logistics began more than 40 years ago when founder Reggie Dupré needed to find a reliable transporter for fuel delivery to his small service station in rural Louisiana. With only two
trucks, he set out to fill the marketplace void for reliable fuel distribution and soon began providing logistics trucking services for other independent retailers. Over the years, Dupré has
increased its reach throughout North America in fuel delivery, expanded its over-the-road capacity, and grown from a truckload fleet into 3PL logistics, traffic management, and dedicated
fleets.

Today, Dupré combines modern analytics with the tribal knowledge of a stable workforce to fight through prevailing headwinds and deliver as promised—no excuses. This empowers
Dupré’s customers to protect their brand, maintain revenue streams, and avoid uncomfortable board discussions about supply chain failures.
